Pinterest Starts Offering Promoted Carousel Ads Too

Pinterest made a very welcome addition to its powerful advertising platform, by adding a Promoted Carousel Ad format in its suite.

It’s been a long time coming for the leading visual platform and we are confident that ad buyers will be thrilled with the development. Pinterest has decided to match its ad format offering to that of its rival social networks by adding a Promoted Carousel Ad format to its suite.

Promoted Carousel Ads will appear on the home feed, Related Pins section, as well as search results, depending on the targeting. They can be used to achieve brand awareness goals or performance goals like traffic and conversions on the advertiser’s online and e-comm properties. Each card in the carousel can feature a different image, title, description and landing page, giving businesses a chance to flex their creative muscles and offer people on Pinterest more reasons to engage with their ads.

After a lengthly wait, Pinterest finally launches Promoted Carousel Ads for advertisers. The first trials record impressive results so far.
