How to Create Pinterest Pins for Your Redbubble Shop?

Are you a Redbubble seller looking to skyrocket your sales and attract a larger audience? If so, it’s time to turn your attention to Pinterest. With over 400 million users searching for creative ideas daily, Pinterest can be a powerful channel for showcasing your Redbubble designs. In this article, we’ll explore both manual pinning and automated solutions to help you quickly create pins that drive real results.

Why Pinterest Works for Redbubble

Pinterest is more than just another social media platform; it’s a visual discovery engine. People visit Pinterest with a specific goal in mind—finding inspiration and solutions (including new products to buy). By putting your Redbubble products in front of this actively engaged audience, you can:

• Drive Traffic: Each pin, when properly set up, leads back to your Redbubble product page or portfolio.
• Increase Sales: More eyeballs on your Redbubble offerings often translate into higher conversions.
• Build Brand Awareness: Consistent pinning can help establish you as a go-to brand for unique and creative designs.
• Reach New Audiences: Pinterest users save and share pins, potentially widening your audience beyond just your followers.

What Makes a Great Pinterest Pin?

To ensure your pins stand out, keep these best practices in mind:

1. High-Quality Images
   Crisp, well-lit images of your design on a t-shirt, poster, or sticker catch the eye more effectively than blurry or low-resolution photos.

2. Compelling Text Overlay
   A short, punchy headline about your design or theme can significantly increase click-through rates.

3. Keywords & Description
   Use relevant keywords in your pin title and description (e.g., “funny cat stickers,” “watercolor floral mug”). This helps your pin surface in Pinterest search results.

4. Vertical Pin Format
   Aim for a 2:3 aspect ratio (e.g., 1000 x 1500 pixels) to optimize how your pins display on mobile.

5. Accurate Linking
   Always link directly to the relevant Redbubble product page. This removes any guesswork for potential buyers.

Manual Pinning: The Basics and Constraints

Manual pinning involves creating each pin individually. It may be slower, but it gives you full creative control—great if you prefer a hands-on approach or have fewer designs. Here’s how it usually works:

1. Use the “Pin-it” Button or Browser Extension

   • Pin-it Button (aka "Pinterest Save Button"): If you have the Pinterest browser extension, you can hover over a product image on Redbubble and click the “Save” button that appears.
   • This button automatically captures the product image and product link, letting you select which Pinterest board to pin it to.

2. Manually Uploading an Image

   • Download your product image or mock-up from Redbubble (or use your custom images).
   • Go to Pinterest, click Create Pin, upload the image, and add a descriptive title, keywords, and the correct Redbubble URL.

3. Constraints & Tips

   • Time-Consuming: Each pin must be set up manually—downloading images, writing descriptions, adding URLs.
   • Daily Pin Limits: Pinterest doesn’t publish a hard cap for daily pins, but spamming too many pins at once can flag your account as potential spam. A best practice is to pin consistently (e.g., 5–15 pins a day) rather than in large bursts.
   • Unique Descriptions: Avoid duplicate descriptions or pins. Pinterest prefers fresh content, and so do your potential customers.

Here’s a quick Pro/Con summary:

Supercharge Your Efforts with Automation

If you have dozens or hundreds of Redbubble listings, manual pinning can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where automation tools come in.

Pinterest Strategy: Making the Most of Your Redbubble Designs

To convert browsers into buyers, think beyond just uploading your designs.

1. Highlight Best-Sellers or Seasonal Items
   Focus on products already selling well or fitting upcoming trends (e.g., holiday gifts, back-to-school items).

2. Use Lifestyle Mockups
   Show your t-shirt designs on a model or your stickers on a laptop. This helps potential customers visualize the final product.

3. Consistent Branding
   Pick fonts and colors that represent your shop’s aesthetic so your pins are instantly recognizable.

4. Keyword Research

   • Use tools like Pinterest Trends to see what users are searching for.
   • Incorporate these keywords into your pin descriptions and board names.
