Using Pinterest To Organize Events
It is easy to keep your ideas in organized board as you begin planning your event. You can create individual boards with dedicated topics using identifying images. Each aspect of your event can have its own place. When you add the pin it button plug-in to your browser it is quick and easy to post the images your research uncovers. The images you select can be instantly added to your Pinterest pin boards as you navigate to relevant websites. You simply select the appropriate image, choose which board to add it to, provide a simple description and "Pin it."
Visual references in the form of the pins you collect enable you to instantly arrive at the information you have collected. You can reference any topic related to organizing your event, compile a list of vendors to supply your event and mold your events look and feel. Your pins are not restricted to only your Pinterest profile. You can link your profile to Twitter and Facebook making it extremely easy to share your ideas with anyone associated with your project. You can also scroll through the boards other collaborators have placed on their Pinterest profiles and gain more insight to direct your efforts.
As you begin pinning and re-pinning various items others can follow you. If they become instrumental to your campaign it is a simple prospect to add them to your boards. The inspiration is not limited to only those you are already aware of however. You can follow and be followed by anyone in the world who has a profile on Pinterest. Becoming inspired by other people's pin boards is what Pinterest is all about. There are many themes involved in planning any event. Regardless of how many efforts you must put together Pinterest has made it a highly efficient process to add and delete any number of subjects to your profile. All of the boards you create will be permanently placed on Pinterest until the time you decide they are no longer needed. This is especially useful when being involved with organizing re-occurring events like company picnics or Christmas parties. Editing and sharing your pins with friends is made especially easy with Pinterest. Anyone associated with your project can "like" your pins thus casting their vote on the content you post. Friends and followers become collaborators to your efforts while you- the creator of your boards- maintain control of the content.
When you locate expert information to aid you in organizing your event it is very simple to "follow" them when they are pinned. Find out who the "go-to" authority for your event is and create a board for them exclusively. A wealth of great ideas will be sure to result. You can follow magazines, blogs and professional websites. If your event is public and you need to create interest or generate participation, use descriptive images with popular tags to attract a target audience. Simply select those titles that are associated with the interested parties and their attention will be yours. Compile a variety of subjects or themes in the beginning of your project and allow interested parties to respond. Your audience will define their interest for you and your pre-selected topics will guide your theme. Events are rarely planned by a single individual. Brainstorming is a very effective approach to developing your ideas. Adding images to boards and developing ideas is the favorite activity of Pinterest subscribers.
When you allow your friends or co-workers to pin and re-pin their ideas, the ideas you've supplied will evolve on their own. If you are working with collaborators it becomes easy to compile a list of pros and cons for any idea suggested. Crowd sourcing is an excellent way to gather inspiration. When you post ideas for the public to respond to your pinboards will completely fill out. Pin pictures of those who are scheduled and pictures of those you wish to invite and watch your guest list take on a life of its own. It would virtually be impossible to overlook an item of planning when you have highly visible imaged based reminders at your disposal. With those who "follow" and "like" your photos, no idea will be left unexplored. Use the Pinterest board to show people what kind of activities they might expect to see at your event. Making separate boards for each activity will allow for a more comprehensive coverage of your topic.
When your event is over and the participants want to gather photos of the event for their own use there is no other place better suited to share them with those who attended. You will not have to wait for everyone to finally get around to "tagging" their photo to their Facebook uploads.
