When ready, the Pins will lead shoppers to thebay.com to complete their purchases to bring their ideas to life. The experience is now available here.
“On Pinterest, we know what trends are about to take off because people come to Pinterest in the early planning stages of the shopping journey. 97% of top searches on Pinterest are unbranded, which is why Pinterest is such an effective place to reach people when Pinners are actively looking for inspiration. Working with The Bay to reach customers at the initial stages of the design journey was an important aspect in building a valuable resource for shoppers.” Martin Svensson, Retail Head of Industry, Pinterest.

With this digital lookbook, customers have the ability to discover trends and envision their spaces with quality products, and take the leap from ideation to reality seamlessly,” Allison Litzinger, Vice President of Brand, The Bay. “This collaboration with Pinterest is reflective of The Bay’s digital-first innovation and how we are elevating the online shopping experience, bringing colourful, attainable luxury into the homes of Canadians.”
