Pinterest Ads Are Now Available to All Businesses in France
This year, the Pinterest company were celebrating more than 250 million Pinterest monthly users around the world, which is more than the population of Brazil. These 250 million monthly active users gave the impression that the company’s platform started to heavily attract users around the world, and also alerted advertisers, marketers, brands, and businesses to the need to go to the platform to promote their products and run their social marketing campaigns. This, in turn, required the company to extend its services to more markets and the development of those services.
Accordingly, Pinterest announced that they are expanding their Pinterest Ads to all businesses in France, that is considered to be a new market joining Pinterest’s previous six markets, which can use the company’s ads services around the world, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand. France is the first non-English speaking country with access to Pinterest Ads.
Now, according to this recent launch in France, French advertisers, brands, and businesses can use Promoted Pins to enable users in France to select what to try or buy next, as well as pushing conversions whether they are looking to reach people in France with ads campaigns, or they are French business needing to use Pinterest Ads for the first time to provide a brand awareness or achieve traffic goals.
