PinToMind Go – A safe and effective alternative to social media

Privacy concerns together with increasingly strict regulations on social media can complicate sharing information with dispersed groups, especially in the public sector. This article explores how care homes, schools, and other institutions can effectively reach the right people without the challenges often associated with social media.

What is PinToMind Go?

PinToMind Go is our mobile app, which allows you to extend the reach of your digital signage by letting your audience access your content right on their phones.

Go is perfect for reaching dispersed groups who need quick and easy access to information — such as relatives of residents at nursing homes or parents of schoolchildren.

How can Go be an alternative to social media?

Here are three advantages of Go that make it a great alternative to social media:

1. We take GDPR and privacy seriously!

PinToMind Go is developed in Norway, and we strongly emphasise data security and privacy. We comply with European legislation and handle personal data in line with GDPR. Learn more in our privacy statement.

2. Information is delivered securely and efficiently!

On social media, algorithms determine what gets views and who sees what. Therefore, what you share there may not necessarily reach your target audience.

With PinToMind Go, you control your channel! All shared content is visible in the app, and you can send push notifications for updates, reminding users to check the app. This ensures information reaches its audience efficiently.

You can open the channel to everyone or share only with invited users if you want control over who sees the content. The latter is often both useful and necessary for channels linked to institutions.

3. No ads or distracting content

Your Go channel is completely free from ads and third-party content. This keeps your message clear, making Go an effective and targeted communication tool.

Other advantages of Go

In addition, there are many other great benefits of using Go. Here are some of the aspects our customers appreciate:

• Simple and accessible: PinToMind Go is easily managed from your PinToMind Account, which is accessible from anywhere via a mobile, tablet, or PC browser.

• Easy to collaborate: It’s easy to collaborate on content and administration. You can add as many users as you need and assign them appropriate roles and access levels.

• Save time with scheduling: Set start and end dates for posts or choose advanced schedules to ensure the content displayed is always relevant.

• User-friendly design and format: Content is displayed in a mobile-friendly, easy-to-read format, presented as a scrollable list. You have full control over the posts, including the order in which they appear. You can also organise posts into areas or categories, providing a neat and clear presentation.

• Inclusive design: The app automatically adapts to the device’s settings, such as font size and accessibility features like screen reading.

• Display content on large screens too: All our subscription plans include both traditional digital signage on wall screens and sharing your content to the app.

• Cost-effective solution: The price for PinToMind Go is comparable to a newspaper subscription, making it an affordable choice for institutions with tight budgets.
