- Product. Use carefully-styled and visually-stimulating images of your products. This channel affords you the opportunity to present your products in a way that doesn't apply pressure to the consumer.
- Service. Ensure that your collection of boards support content that offers solutions for your audience.
- Experience. Identify the mission of your board and use images, tips and articles to support the purpose. Your audience should be guided through an experience based on this content.
- Book. Create boards to promote your latest book. Include tips, quotes and videos to convey your message.
- Personal Touch. Be sure to include personal tidbits that offer your audience a face behind the brand.
