A lot of people use Pinterest as a 'shopping list' - so they add the pin, and come back later to purchase. IMHO it would be foolish to NOT put this on your site.

I understand what your saying, I have actually opened up an account for our company and have some of our products on it. I just can't see it working.
I guess like any social network it takes lots of work and its really all about brand awareness rather than the physical sales from the site. It would be nice to see some stats as to conversions from it though.
I do see your point that it has lots of users and I guess some of these may convert at a later date based on them getting to know about your product.
I'm still not convinced though, I can see why google+ works for tech companies and facebook works for some industries too but I just can't see this working for ours to be honest.
