Users can click and install an app directly from their Pinterest feed. Using this ad unit has shown to yield high-quality users across several mainstream verticals.\r\n\r\nPinterest&#8217;s newest ad offering was featured today in Adweek. You can read the entire article by Christopher Heine <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/digital\/pinterest-is-now-offering-app-install-ads-to-all-marketers-will-it-see-sales-growth-like-facebook-and-google\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>, or read it reprinted below.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nSince July, Pinterest has been testing app-install ads with about 100 smartphone-minded brands like Ibotta, Stash and Glu Mobile. Today, it\u2019s rolling out that ad product, which is called Promoted App Pins, to all marketers. It will be available on the platform\u2019s self-service system (Ads Manager) as well as pitched via its <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.pinterest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">API<\/a> (or application programming interface) marketing partners.\r\n\r\n\u201cMore than 80 percent of our users are on <a href=\"https:\/\/investor.fb.com\/investor-news\/press-release-details\/2017\/facebook-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2016-Results\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mobile<\/a>,\u201d said Mike Bidgoli, head of new ad products at Pinterest. \u201cSo it\u2019s a very mobile-first product, and hence, it lends itself well to app installs.\u201d\r\n\r\nPinterest, which was a bright shiny object among tech marketers a few years ago, is hot again. After going from $100 million in revenue in 2015 to around <a href=\"https:\/\/id.wsj.com\/access\/pages\/wsj\/us\/signin.html?mg=id-wsj&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wsj.com%2Farticles%2Fpinterest-ceo-projects-300-million-in-revenue-in-2016-1477503237&amp;user=cdhsherpa&amp;mg=id-wsj&amp;mg=id-wsj&amp;mg=id-wsj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$300 million in 2016<\/a>, Recode last week <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recode.net\/2017\/3\/21\/14991260\/pinterest-advertising-revenue-500-million-growth-ipo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that the company is looking to make more than $500 million in 2017.\r\n\r\nAnd the app-install play should bolster its earnings. Research firm eMarketer\u2019s latest numbers had the U.S. app-install advertising space at $5.7 billion for 2016. Facebook, Google, Instagram, Twitter and Apple have been the chief benefactors. Facebook has reportedly seen up to 20 percent of its ad revenue from app installs, and consider that the digital giant brought in $8.6 billion in the fourth quarter last year. Google, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/2016\/09\/16\/google-is-the-new-king-of-app-install-ads.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some analysts<\/a>, may have <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2016\/08\/18\/google-has-hit-3-billion-app-installs-and-may-have-caught-up-with-facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">surpassed<\/a> Facebook\u2019s app install business in recent months. While Pinterest\u2019s gains will certainly be more modest out of the gate, another stream of ad sales should lift its value among investors as it likely heads toward an <a href=\"http:\/\/money.usnews.com\/investing\/articles\/2016-11-21\/the-10-most-anticipated-ipos-of-2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IPO<\/a> this year or in 2018.\r\n\r\nVia Pinterest\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/business.pinterest.com\/en\/pinterest-business-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">measurement partnerships<\/a>\u2014AppsFlyer, Tune, Adjust, Kochava and Apsalar\u2014ad buyers can get reports on installs. Bidgoli said 70 percent of the advertisers that have tested Promoted App Pins have achieved their campaign objectives.\r\n\r\n\u201cOne cool thing is that it not only worked for the core categories like food, style, beauty,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it also worked for personal finance, automotive and gaming.\u201d\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8639\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pinterest-apps.jpg\" alt=\"Users can download Promoted App Pins directly from their feed.\" width=\"890\" height=\"500\" \/>\r\n\r\nLayne Cox, head of growth and user acquisition at cash-rewards app Ibotta, said that since first testing the ad product last year, the company has \u201cmore than doubled our Pinterest spend.\u201d\r\n\r\nStash\u2019s Promoted App Pins tests have generated not just downloads but engaged users, proclaimed Annica Lin, acquisition manager for the investment-focused mobile app. \u201cPinterest delivers the highest percentage of loyal users across all [Apple operating system] iOS acquisition partners for [us],\u201d Lin said.\r\n\r\nJohn Parides, head of user acquisition at digital gaming company Glu Mobile, said that he used Promoted App Pins to drive downloads for his company\u2019s Gordon Ramsay Dash app. \u201cThanks to [its] audience and targeting capabilities,\u201d he said, \u201cwe were able to significantly increase yields.\u201d\r\n\r\nParides added, \u201cIn a market where many new mobile ad vendors offer minimal differentiation, Pinterest stands out.\u201d\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s believable if you consider insights company Apptopia\u2019s recent findings, which concluded that 75 percent of users on its high-grossing apps are also Pinterest users.\r\n\r\nPinterest, which has 150 million monthly users who pin images, has been slowly building out its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">search<\/a> and interactive portfolio over the past few years. In October, it introduced a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/digital\/one-tap-pins-video-pins-app-pins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trio of ad units<\/a> in one-tap pins, video pins and the app pins that went wide today. Last month, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/digital\/pinterest-opens-full-fledged-search-targeting-to-compete-with-google\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it started letting marketers<\/a> use more specific keywords to better target their search campaigns while also enabling retailers to serve more relevant ads.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, food, design and crafts, Pinterest\u2019s bread-and-butter marketing categories, should remain a sweet spot when it comes to direct-response units like app-install ads, said Julian Soler, Apester\u2019s head of marketing.\r\n\r\nSoler said Pinterest users \u201care actively thinking about and experiencing content that has a strong likelihood in leading towards purchasing decisions.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cOnce a user has an intent to find something on Pinterest, it is easier to lead them to purchase,\u201d he said.\r\n\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":9244,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,12,201],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8623","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news-and-updates","8":"category-press","9":"category-product-updates"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8623"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44080,"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8623\/revisions\/44080"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kochava.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
