Pinterest Name Check
Whether your Pinterest account is for business or fun, it goes without saying that it needs a good username. It would be a good idea if your Pinterest name were available on other popular channels. That way, users could find you wherever you end up! Thankfully, BrandSnag has a Pinterest Name Checker Tool that quickly tells you when a username is taken. This will make it easy for you to settle on a name that works for Pinterest and any other social account you want to create.
Is Your Pinterest Name Taken? Here’s How to Check!
Lots of people love Pinterest, which means it’s a great way to market your business or personal brand. However, it also means that you’ll have some competition for your username. To avoid disappointment when setting up your account, your first stop should be BrandSnag. BrandSnag will tell you right away whether the handle you want is free. It will also let you try out different variations on your name until you find the one that is free on both Pinterest and other social channels.
Your Pinterest Username is Not Available? Here’s how to fix it!
Ideally, you would create your brand with the availability of social media usernames in mind. This means that you would check to see whether the name you want to use is available on the platforms you want before establishing your personal or business presence.
If, however, your name is unavailable on Pinterest or other social channels, you’ll need to create a variation of it. This could mean adding a prefix or suffix to your username so it becomes unique. Otherwise, you could try contacting the person who has the handle you want to see if they’d be willing to give it up. Although, this strategy usually only works if the person isn’t using their account.
Should Your Pinterest Username and Instagram Name be the Same?
Instagram and Pinterest are both visual social networks, but they have very different purposes. Instagram is about sharing. Pinterest is about discovering. However, their audiences can still overlap. For example, someone might “like” your content on Instagram and then use Pinterest to save the same content on one of their boards. For this reason, you need to make sure that your Pinterest and Instagram handles are the same. This way, people can find you on both platforms.
