Rich Pins Setup Details on Pinterest: Pinterest Rich Pin Setup Information

Rich pins offer additional information at a glance, like pricing or available colors. Rich pins are connected to information on your website, so if you make a pricing change or run out of stock on an item, it’s immediately reflected in the pin.

Rich pins also pop up a handy sidebar window that shows your related products.  Example Product Pin >>

Why the Halftime theme Mike?

I'm a Indiana Hoosier native where basketball is the top sport.  Every team heads to the locker room at halftime to evaluate the first half and create a updated plan for the second half.  That plan includes adjustments based on reviewing what worked and what didn't.  The "halftime" is a key review point where the game stops, the team pulls away to huddle in the locker room away from the fans, and they come out prepared and ready to succeed in the second half.

That's what this podcast is all about, taking the time to pull away for bit to evaluate, learn, and set some strategies for your business to succeed in the second half.

Join me by subscribing and let me be your "business halftime" to help you find great success going forward!
