I was standing in line at the grocery store with my iPhone in hand searching for something to occupy my time and mind. No texts to respond to, email is caught up and Facebook takes too long to load on a smart phone. Seems like the right time to be a "pinhead" otherwise known as a Pinterest addict. Are you pinning too?

As much as I love this app I have struggled to find the best way to use it in our industry. I looked up and saw that the grocery store was running a contest and that is when I thought about a contest on Pinterest. I quickly discovered that I was not the first person to think about it but I will be implementing it!

Pinterest is now a great tool for posting a picture and asking your residents and Facebook fans to help spread the word to their followers. Post a pic and ask them to repin onto their Pinterest boards. The top pinner will win a cool prize! Happy pinning.
