   - **Shopping Ads**: Pinterest's Shopping Ads allow businesses to promote their products directly within users' feeds. These ads feature product images, prices, and direct links to purchase, making it easy for users to shop for products they discover on Pinterest.
   - **Carousel Pins**: Carousel Pins enable businesses to showcase multiple products within a single ad unit, ideal for highlighting product collections, variations, or related items.
   - **Dynamic Product Ads**: Dynamic Product Ads automatically promote relevant products to users based on their interests and interactions on Pinterest. These ads dynamically update with products tailored to each user, ensuring that users see items they are likely to be interested in.
   - **Rich Pins**: Rich Pins provide additional context and information directly on the Pin, such as product descriptions, pricing, and availability. This additional detail helps users make informed purchasing decisions and increases the likelihood of conversion.

2. **Service Promotion**:

These ads feature customizable lead generation forms that users can fill out without leaving Pinterest, making it convenient for users to express interest in services.
   - **Carousel Pins**: Carousel Pins can be used to showcase different service offerings or highlight various features and benefits of a service in a single ad unit.
   - **Story Pins**: Story Pins provide an immersive storytelling format that can be used to showcase the process, results, or testimonials of services provided, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with users.

3. **Hybrid Promotion**:
   - **Integrated Campaigns**: Businesses can create integrated campaigns that promote both products and services, leveraging a combination of Promoted Pins, Shopping Ads, Lead Generation Ads, and other ad formats to achieve their objectives. This approach allows businesses to showcase their full range of offerings and engage users at different stages of the customer journey.
