What are Pinterest Ads?
Pinterest Ads are paid pins. They show up in search results, home feeds, related pins and shopping pages.
They run through Pinterest Ads Manager. Formats include Shopping, Standard, Video, Idea and Carousel. All of them aim at people who are ready to buy.
How much do Pinterest Ads cost?
There are two costs, and they stay separate.
Ad spend goes direct to Pinterest on your own card. Waj Digital charges a flat monthly fee starting at $500. We never take a cut of your spend.
In the accounts we run, a click has cost between $0.09 and $0.24. Those dashboards are in our case studies. Full CPC, CPM and ROAS benchmarks are published too.
Most stores learn enough from $30 to $100 a day.
Are Pinterest Ads better than Facebook or Instagram Ads?
They do different jobs. Pinterest reaches people while they are still planning, so intent is higher and fewer advertisers are bidding.
Across our accounts, a click has cost between $0.09 and $0.24. Meta is better at stopping someone mid scroll.
For visual, planning led categories, Pinterest is usually the cheaper way to reach a buyer. Think home, decor, beauty, weddings, food, fashion and wellness. It will not replace Meta for every brand.
How quickly will I see results?
Pinterest Ads start bringing traffic within 24 to 48 hours.
Real ROAS signals usually show in 7 to 14 days. That is once the campaign is past its learning stage and the winning creatives appear.
Do you also run organic Pinterest?
Yes. We suggest pairing ads with our Pinterest Organic Growth service.
Winning ad creatives then get posted as free pins, so they keep bringing traffic after the campaign ends.
Which countries do you serve?
We run Pinterest Ads for brands in Europe, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada.
Ads perform strongest in the US, UK, Canada, Germany and Australia, where Pinterest use and buying intent are highest.
Who owns the Ads Manager and creatives?
You do, all of it. We work inside your own Pinterest Business account.
Pixels, audiences, creatives and reports are handed over any time you ask. There is no lock-in.
What if Pinterest Ads didn't work for us before?
We find four structural causes in almost every weak Pinterest ad account.
The goal was set to traffic or awareness instead of sales. The tag fired page visits but not add-to-cart or checkout. The campaign was switched off during learning. Or the daily budget was split across too many ad groups.
A free ad account audit tells you which one applies.
Are we locked into a contract?
No. We run Pinterest Ads on a flat monthly fee, month to month, and never a percentage of your spend.
Ad spend goes direct to Pinterest on your own card. Campaigns run in your own account. The Ads Manager, pixels, audiences and creatives stay yours if you stop.
