About this video

Heather Bowen, Pinterest, talks on The Return of Joy: The Revolution In Social Commerce. Heather explored how the joy of shopping is returning, driven by Gen Z and reshaped by platforms like Pinterest. Key takeaways: Shopping isn’t just buying: While online shopping brought speed and convenience, it lost the magic of discovery. Pinterest aims to restore that joy by making online shopping more inspiring and personalised. Intentional use: Pinterest users come with purpose, 50% use it to shop, saving over 1.5 billion items weekly. Exploration, not just transactions, is key. Visual search powered by AI: Pinterest’s advanced visual search allows users to zoom into specific materials or styles. Personalised results based on body types increase engagement.
