BuilderBooks wants to showcase the homes HBA members build and remodel by pinning them on the MyHome Press Pinterest boards. Our customers are already on Pinterest so you should be there too. If BuilderBooks posts your project, they will include your company name and a link to your website. Pinterest users will be able to repin their photos for others to see giving you even more visibility—hence creating free advertising.
