How Agencies Can Launch, Manage, and Scale Pinterest Inventory Ads Effortlessly with BuyerBridge
Why Pinterest for Dealership Advertising?
Car buyers aren’t just searching for vehicles—they’re discovering them on Pinterest with auto-related searches up 30% YoY.
Dealers that advertise here get in front of motivated shoppers before they even search on Google or Meta. Unlike traditional social ads, inventory ads on Pinterest keep vehicle listings visible longer, engage high-intent buyers earlier, and drive more conversions with less competition.
For agencies managing automotive ads, this presents an untapped opportunity.
Pinterest inventory ads seamlessly scale dealership marketing with automated inventory syncing, dynamic retargeting, and omnichannel reporting—all powered by BuyerBridge.
That means you can help dealers reach more car buyers, generate more leads, and increase ROI without adding extra work.
What Are Pinterest Inventory Ads?
Pinterest Inventory Ads (also called Shopping Ads) are dynamic ads that showcase in-stock vehicle listings, allowing dealerships to advertise their available inventory in a visually engaging, discovery-driven environment.
Pinterest Now Supports Used Vehicle Ads!
A major update for dealerships: Pinterest now allows used and certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles to be advertised, expanding opportunities for budget-conscious buyers.
Why is this important? Many shoppers on Pinterest research financing options, the best cars for their budget, and vehicle comparisons. By advertising both new and used vehicles, dealerships can reach a broader audience and capture more leads across different buyer segments.
With BuyerBridge’s automated inventory sync, dealerships can easily advertise both new and used models without manual updates, ensuring their ads stay relevant and accurate.
How Are Pinterest Ads Different from Facebook & Google Ads?
Pinterest, Facebook, and Google all serve different purposes in the buyer’s journey.
Here’s how Pinterest stands out:
Pinterest vs. Facebook Ads
- Facebook = social engagement, Pinterest = intent-driven discovery.
- Facebook ads are disruptive, appearing in users' feeds while they scroll through content.
- Pinterest ads are user-initiated, appearing as search results and recommendations when people are actively looking for ideas, including car purchases.
- Longer lifespan – Facebook ads disappear once a campaign ends, but Pinterest ads can continue driving traffic organically over time.
Pinterest vs. Google Ads
- Google Ads targets buyers who are already searching for a specific car.
- Pinterest helps dealerships influence buyers before they reach that point—engaging them while they’re still researching models, financing, or dealerships.
- Lower competition and lower CPCs – Google search ads can be costly for dealerships, but Pinterest’s lower ad competition provides a more cost-effective way to get in front of motivated buyers.
Why Pinterest Is a Game-Changer for Auto Ads
Since Pinterest ads blend into organic search results, they don’t feel like traditional advertising. Users save Pins, revisit them, and engage with dealership inventory multiple times, which increases the chances of a sale and long-term relationship building.
How Pinterest Enhances Inventory Ads on Other Social Platforms
Adding inventory to Pinterest alongside Facebook, Instagram, Google, and TikTok campaigns strengthens a dealership’s overall advertising strategy.
💡Instead of competing against each other, these platforms work together to guide buyers through the full sales funnel.
- Captures early-stage buyers before they search on Google. Pinterest introduces dealerships to buyers before they start actively searching for a specific car.
- Improves retargeting success. If a shopper views a vehicle ad on Facebook but doesn’t take action, seeing it again on Pinterest reinforces the dealership’s message and keeps the car top-of-mind.
- Increases lead quality and lowers cost per acquisition (CPA). Adding Pinterest into the mix spreads ad spending across different buyer touchpoints, improving engagement rates across platforms.
📣 Extend dealership reach without increasing workload! BuyerBridge syncs inventory across Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Google, ensuring that dealerships advertise the right vehicles across all channels without manual updates.
