Martin Beck says, “So where are all the Black Friday shoppers hanging out online?

Over here, Pinterest says, releasing new stats today to support its claim that Pinterest is best place to reach people in a holiday buying mood.

Pinterest users shop more on Black Friday than the average online user, according to a study done for Pinterest by marketing researcher CivicScience. Pinners spend four times more on toys and games, three times more on housewares, clothing and accessories and 2.2 times more on electronics and media. Furthermore, CivicScience found, Pinners are 50 percent more likely than the average online person to spend the most on Black Friday at specialty stores and local businesses.

Those findings fit nicely as a pitch to advertisers and brands to increase their focus on Pinterest this time of year. And it’s a familiar message; in September, the company released stats showing that Pinners start their holiday shopping before the average Jane or Joe“.
