Landing pages for Pinterest ads: what visitors expect after the click
Hookpair team. Updated
The ad runs on Pinterest: the visitor is planning or looking for ideas, often weeks before buying, and saves things for later. They clicked an image because it looked like what they want; they expect to see that exact look and the products in it, not a hard sell.
