According to a new study by Piqora, A pin on Pinterest generates $0.78 in sales, on average on e-commerce sites, which is 25% more than what it drove in the fourth quarter of 2012. What's more, a pin is repinned (a form of sharing) 10 times on average. For comparison, the average tweet on Twitter is only retweeted slightly more than 1% of the time. Another interesting point made is that pins are "frozen in time," in that they tend to be pinned and repinned often over time, rather than fading away like a typical Facebook or Twitter post. That's because Pinterest is not focused on user feeds, but on category pages and popular sections. Although Pinterest is demonstrating potential as a platform for transactions, the real opportunity in social commerce is shepherding consumers through the funnel end-to-end. We talk about this notion of social commerce in greater detail in a recent research report.
