“Shopping with Pinterest is meant to be that bridge between getting inspiration and making it part of your real life,” stated Ben Silbermann at the event on Tuesday. “When people go on Pinterest, they are constantly looking for new ideas, which often lead them to buy something at a later time.”

“Most people don’t start thinking about the holidays until October or November — in my case it’s like December 24 — but retailers start thinking about it now,” said Tim Kendall, President at Pinterest. “So that’s why Pinterest is talking about this now.”
