The newer option to schedule pins is a great feature. Seeing what specific pins were liked, commented on or repinned is nice and being able to sort that. Being able to look at the records beyond a week are important as well.
When I first used this product, it was to provide reporting to clients when Pinterest didn't have an ideal analytic reporting system. Now that Pinterest does, a lot of the features are unnecessary on the Tailwind dashboard. Since they have increased their payment plan, it is far too expensive for independent consultants to access to do monthly reports. The low tier plan only pays for scheduling and weekly reports only. That's not good enough to justify the price.
I was able to share important stats to clients related to what content had the most visibility, engagement, and repins, but I was paying $30 a month for only one account at a time. I did have to create different logins per account to even fully utilize the Tailwind application and couldn't have the ease of use to include multiple accounts without exorbitant pricing. As such, I realized the cost in time and/or money outweighed the benefits of this application and cancelled the company account without realizing that the plan didn't change and lost money for being charged for a bigger plan even though only my personal Pinterest account was connected.
The pin designer did create some pretty pins for me.
I thought I had cancelled the service because it was not positiviely impacting my views but then I found out they charged me for another year. Talked to customer service about my concern and they said I was out of luck even though I wasn't actively using their service. It's also very challenging and confusing to cancel their service which I believe they do on purpose to keep customers. Besides the bad service, the product is on the poorer side. The communities are very clicky and generally only share pins with a few other people. When someone did share one of my pins I believe it had zero impact on my page. I could be wrong but I feel like Pinterest was actually penalizing my page because I was posting with Tailwind. My Pinterest views almost doubled 6 months after I STOPPED actively using Tailwind which makes me think they were actually hurting my page. Based on my experience this service is mostly smoke and mirrors and doesn't provide substantial viewership results to support its high price. If you try to cancel then you may get suckered into paying for something you don't want. I recommend promoting your pins directly through Pinterest instead of spending money on this product.
Tailwind is looking to make Pinterest pinning easier and more effective. They make it easier to post pins but I do not believe they helped increase my page's viewership. For that reason alone, I don't recommend using the service.
I really like Tailwind. It's fairly easy to use and understand.
I really feel the only drawback is the price. I would probably still be using it, but my small company can't justify the cost when Social Report will post to Pinterest as a part of my regular subscription.
I haven't really solved any problems because I had to switch providers.
Tailwind works great on Pinterest for batching work ahead of time. Is a platform that complements your strategy on social media. It works for Pinterest and Instagram. I have used it on both but I rather use it for Pinterest. You can add pins to your account months in advance, you can check followers, board followers, and many cool features. Tailwind is a paid program but can work the minimum if you only pin a maximum of 20 posts each month. The good thing is that you can always refer a friend and get discounted prices per month.
I don't like how works the Instagram platform, is good but needs a lot of work. Is not easy to set up to your phone all the programmed posts, you must have a Facebook business account in order to use your phone app from Tailwind to post automatically, which not always is the case. The quality of support ain't great, you can take days by getting a response from someone on their team. Also, they recently changed their prices without announcing it, which was so annoying. The Tailwind credit is good but you always will end up paying something else.
Tailwind has allowed me to see other stats that I can't see for myself on the Pinterest platform. I have used it on different accounts and works well.
Tailwind create and also the ease of use of the platform. It's easy to upload and optimize pins or posts in bulk. Also the platform is established and quite reliable
Pricing plans - they've raised the prices recently which from a business standpoint is understandable but doesn't suit many small businesses anymore especially when there is so much Pinterest and Instagram approved that offer similar features for a lot less
Automating the Posting to pins to multiple boards, statistics on board health, more clicks to pins due to higher consistency on the platform and a better workflow.
Tailwind makes it so easy to collect and queue bits of content off the web to my Pinterest account. When you queue an image off any webpage using tailwind browser plugin it suggest you similar images which are impressively relevent to the one you posted, this helps you quickly find and queue similar content to your social accounts, in my case pinterest. Early i used to do this all manually and it would consume up so much time but with tailwind its much faster and much more efficient.
They have just about every feature you'll ever need to keep your social accounts active, got no complaints in regards to any feature just their pricing is a bit too high, if they could lower down their pricing by around 60% that would be perfect.
Pinning images using traditional pinterest bookmarklet is good if you are using pinterest for personal use but if you want to fully engage your pinterest audience then you need to try out tailwind, their scheduling feature has helped me post content at the right time to make sure there is maximum engagement on my pins.
This is probably my favorite tool that I use with marketing. Manually pinning takes up so much time, whereas with Tailwind I can just spent 5 hours in the beginning of the week to pin everything for the entire week without worrying about it. It also helps me optimize the best times to pin. I like that I can see which pins are performing the best so I can replicate them.
I don't like that if I want to see all my previous pins from tailwind farther than 30 days back I have to upgrade to a higher cost membership. I also wish there was a way for me to pin my buyable pins through Tailwind, that would make it a lot better. I also like the new "tribes" aspect, but it's hard to start new ones on your own and to get people to really join them. It's a pain when the source/url of pins you're pinning doesn't carry over, and I'm not really sure why that happens, but it's still easier than manually pinning things one by one.
I'm able to save a ton of time by scheduling everything to go on pinterest for the week, instead of having to do a little each day. 90% of our website visits are from Pinterest now, so it's helping get our brand awareness out there.
Tailwind is the solution we could find to program pins for clients. The program is very easy to use and has great features. This platform is very good for incremental improvements. You can create your own pins, pins from Instagram or directly from Pinterest. Tailwind also displays your scheduled calendar so you can see how you are scheduling. All in all, you do a great job of monitoring your follower growth daily, personally, and over time.
It takes a long time to have to manually enter and edit the links once they have been pinned, I use it basically just for programming which makes it a bit pricey, I also don't like that it doesn't catch my pins in reality time. I also wish there was a free option beyond the trial month and having the ability to connect pins makes life a lot easier.
Tailwind is wonderful at ensuring great content is scheduled at the best time to make an impact. It is a must for anyone who wants to market their products on Pinterest. This is a useful solution for the inability to program pins within the application and software.
