More retailers are getting Pinterest accounts up and running every day. Many of them are incorporating Pinterest directly into their websites.

Nordstrom / 16,289

West Elm / 29,975
Williams Sonoma / 10,987
Gap / 5,643
Piperlime / 2,519
Old Navy / 1,951

1) In searching for large chain retail stores, I came across a surprisingly large amount of independent retailers capitalizing on this resource (hurrah!).
2) If your name may be more common, consider adding "boutique" or "shop" to the end, there are hundreds of Aldo's (for example) and if the shoe store has an account, I wouldn't know it.
3) Beware of knock off sites, note that you are the "official" site. A tip off to fake sites is a blurry (low quality) logo image.
