Overview

Pinterest traffic is highly seasonal. Prep 4–8 weeks ahead for peak moments (holidays, back-to-school, spring clean). Balance evergreen anchors with timely spikes.

Steps

  1. List your top 6–8 seasonal events relevant to your niche.
  2. Create board and Pin templates for each event.
  3. Back-schedule production dates: creative → approvals → publishing.
  4. Re-pin winning seasonal content annually with fresh covers.

Best Practices

  • Lead times matter; surface gift guides and checklists early.
  • Keep promotional copy minimal; focus on utility and outcomes.
  • Bundle seasonal Pins into idea lists for easy saves.
