What is actually going wrong
On Pinterest, coffee is where the assumptions get expensive. Pinterest is a planning surface, so its audience is further from a purchase than it looks, and audience size for coffee brands on Pinterest has to work around it. On coffee brands on Pinterest, audience size rarely catches this: a wholesale business and a cafe chain look identical online and buy nothing alike. If you would rather try it than read about it, Pinterest Brand Presence Mapper does audience size for coffee brands on Pinterest today.
How we would run it
- Start with one of coffee brands on Pinterest you already know, so a wrong audience size answer is obvious rather than plausible.
- Run Pinterest Brand Presence Mapper across your list of coffee brands on Pinterest, which carries 1 ready made setup for audience size.
- Read ten rows of audience size on coffee brands on Pinterest by hand before you trust the rest of the list.
Traditional Search Tools
- Their wholesale page, for coffee brands on Pinterest. Free, and its existence separates the two business models in one click.
- Pinterest Trends, for coffee brands on Pinterest. Free, official, and it shows demand rather than presence.
- The platform APIs. Official, accurate and gated. Most now require an app review to read a public follower count, which is weeks of work for one number.
- Social listening suites. Brandwatch, Sprout and the rest do this among many other things. Priced for a brand team, not for a qualification step in a sales list.
- SimilarWeb or a traffic estimator. A different proxy for the same question. Better for whether anyone visits, worse for whether anyone follows.
- Open the profiles. Find the accounts, read the numbers, write them down. Two minutes per brand per network, and completely accurate on the day you do it.
