- | ====== Pinterest ====== | ||
- | Pinterest is an interesting new service that allows you to make collections of images from websites you're browsing. This has a lot of neat ways that could help you gain leads in the future: | ||
- | |||
- | * It gives potential clients another means of getting to your site. | ||
- | * You can build collections of home styles, that will allow potential clients to easier browse your selection in a clean and adaptive layout. | ||
- | * Your potential clients can now build their own collections of potential homes and assuming they're not private collections, you can perhaps begin to better understand what they're looking for in a new home. | ||
