It’s hard to get attention on Pinterest, right?<\/p>\n

You’re up against a lot<\/em> of competition.<\/p>\n

So you may wonder why other holiday let properties get their photos\u00a0re-pinned time and time again, while yours don\u2019t seem to get any traction at all.<\/p>\n

Of course there could be lots of different reasons behind it, but here\u2019s one solution you might want to try\u00a0\u2013 add more colour.<\/p>\n

Colour is an important element in many photos. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It may not be the most<\/em> important one, or even the only element that matters. However it does have a lot to offer.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not a natural photographer, colour can step in where you don\u2019t have the skills to achieve more\u00a0from the actual shot.<\/p>\n

Colour in contrast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contrasting colours can work really well.<\/p>\n

One recent example that popped out when taking a look through Pinterest, was a shot of a bright red geranium planted next to a lime green-leafed plant in a grey pot.<\/p>\n

The combination of the green and red worked brilliantly, and the image stood out way beyond anything else on the page.<\/p>\n

Red and green are great colours to use, but any contrasting shades or colours would also work.<\/p>\n

Take a look around your holiday rental to see what contrasts you can find \u2013 both indoors and out.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget you can dress an area specifically for that Pinterest upload – making it more unusual or fun to achieve that stand-out effect.<\/p>\n

As bright as you like!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bright colours catch the eye, there\u2019s no doubt about it. So why not try going bright to attract the attention of more people on Pinterest?<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t believe it, check out pictures in any category on Pinterest.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll notice the ones that tend to jump out at you are more colourful than the rest. Not always, but there\u2019s a good chance your holiday let photos will be noticed if they\u2019ve got brighter colours in them.<\/p>\n

The more attention you can get through brighter colours, the more chance you have of those images being re-pinned more often.<\/p>\n

Look for a bright colour that stands out against an otherwise-ordinary background<\/strong><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need lots of colour to make a splash and catch peoples\u2019 eyes, instead, just a tiny splash in the right place can achieve what you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n

Maybe the living room of your holiday rental is resplendent in lots of neutral and natural colours. Why not add a couple of bright blue cushions to the sofa to provide that essential splash? Or how about a red throw on the back of the sofa?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t discount flowers either.<\/p>\n

A neutral-coloured kitchen can be really calming and appealing, but it may not easily be spotted on Pinterest. So, add a vase of sunflowers to the scene and take a picture that includes the vase as well.<\/p>\n

You might be surprised at how much more the photo \u2018pops\u2019 as a result.<\/p>\n

So here’s what you should do before adding photos to Pinterest:<\/p>\n
