Yeah… go ahead and reread that. Consumers trust their Pinterest community -- and why shouldn't they? It's all about sharing creativity, inspiration, and the recommendation of products to their followers.
Look at Pinterest as a giant whiteboard for your company to showcase their expertise in the construction industry. It could be big projects which “WOWED” your customers, equipment, or new technologies you’ve used on the job.
