If you run a local business, you know how much money vanishes every day in that tiny gap between “That’s interesting…” and “I’ll look it up later.” A billboard can get someone’s attention, but if there’s no immediate next step — or worse, a long URL no one will type on their pho
Use Cases: Short Links that Sell
Running a TV ad is a game of high stakes and short time frames. You’re paying a premium to capture viewers’ attention for just a few seconds — but in that moment, how do you get them to do more than just watch? How do you get them to act?
Every transaction is an opportunity to learn from your customers. But asking for feedback days later, via email or a buried website form, is like throwing a message in a bottle — the response rate is low, and the insights arrive too late to act on.
Dining out has changed — speed and convenience matter more than ever. Customers want their food fast, their options clear, and as little friction as possible between deciding and eating.
Flyers are a classic way to pack your club, but here’s the catch — every step you ask people to take between seeing your flyer and getting on your VIP list costs you potential guests.
Your product has a story to tell — but a crowded store shelf doesn’t give you much room to tell it. Customers glance, decide, and move on. You need a way to break past the limits of physical packaging and deliver an experience that sticks.
At a trade show, every second counts. Visitors stop by your booth, show interest, but there’s rarely time for a full conversation. You hand out flyers or brochures, hoping they’ll read them later — but most end up in the bin.
You’ve made the sale, shipped the product, and now comes the hardest part: getting customers to leave a review. Emails get ignored, and nobody wants to type in a long, fiddly URL just to find your product page again.
Pop-up shops are all about the moment — limited time, limited stock, limited space. But what happens when someone loves your product and you’ve just sold the last one? A missed sale doesn’t have to stay missed.
Text messages have one of the highest open rates in marketing, but the real challenge is knowing whether those messages drive results. A beautifully crafted campaign is only as good as the actions it inspires.
Big launches are all about momentum. You’ve spent months preparing the perfect campaign, lining up ad spots, and securing that billboard space on the busiest stretch of road in town.
When you sell merch as an influencer, you’re not just selling a hoodie, mug, or tote bag — you’re selling a piece of the connection you’ve built with your audience.
Selling on Etsy often means meeting your customers where they already gather — in Facebook groups where people share recommendations, ask for advice, and discover new products. The challenge is that every link you post is part of your reputation.
As an event photographer, you know that one of your biggest challenges is converting curious onlookers into paying clients.
When you’re delivering a live talk, there’s a golden window of opportunity: the moment your message lands, your audience is engaged, and they’re ready to take the next step.
Legal services are a high-trust business. When someone sees your ad — whether it’s on a bus stop, a magazine, or a local sponsorship banner — you’ve got a split second to earn their attention and make it easy for them to take the next step.
When you’re trying to grow your tutoring business, handing out flyers in the right places — schools, cafés, libraries, community boards — is a tried-and-true tactic.
A freshly manicured lawn or a dramatic garden makeover is one of your best advertisements — but when you’re not there to talk through the details, potential clients only see the end result.
Your clients already trust you with their workouts — so when they’re sweating it out in the gym, it’s the perfect time to offer them the next piece of the puzzle: nutrition. But asking them to remember a long URL or spelling out a complicated link rarely works.
Conferences thrive on smooth experiences. With multiple tracks, speaker changes, and packed schedules, even the most organized event can leave attendees fumbling for information.
Game day is electric: the fans are fired up, the stands are packed, and the atmosphere is buzzing. It’s also the perfect time to boost merchandise sales. But the usual “visit our shop later” message often gets lost once the final whistle blows.
Museums are full of fascinating details — but wall labels can only tell part of the story. Visitors often want more context, more background, more wonder than a small text panel can deliver.
In network marketing, timing is everything. When someone tries a product sample, their curiosity and interest are at their peak—but every extra step between that moment and joining your team or ordering more reduces your chances of a conversion.
Fundraising events are all about momentum. The room is buzzing, your cause is front and center, emotions are high—and then you hand guests a long URL or tell them to “visit our website later to donate.” Too often, that energy fades before action happens.
When you send out a press kit, speed matters. Journalists, bloggers, and influencers often work on tight deadlines, and the last thing you want is for them to hunt through folders or type out a clunky URL to grab your brand materials.
At a busy job fair, you might talk to dozens or even hundreds of potential candidates in just a few hours. Collecting resumes and following up later is time-consuming. And too often, strong prospects slip through the cracks.
Handing out free samples is a time-tested way to introduce people to a product, but without a clear next step, many of those impressions disappear without action.
For most coffee shops, regulars are the heart of the business. A loyalty program keeps those customers coming back, but the hardest part is getting them signed up in the first place.
In the world of high fashion, exclusivity and experience are everything. A runway show invitation isn’t just a piece of card stock — it’s a statement, a promise of access to something extraordinary.
Beer lovers appreciate variety and freshness, but keeping up with what’s currently on tap can be a challenge — especially in busy, lively brewery spaces.
Bookmarks are more than just placeholders — they’re a perfect touchpoint to deepen readers’ connection with the books they love.
Yard signs are a tried-and-true way to promote local home services, but they often miss a crucial step: making it easy for interested neighbors to reach out immediately. Adding a QR code to your yard signs turns passive advertising into instant engagement.
Pop-up art galleries thrive on buzz, but with a limited-time run, you can’t rely on slow word-of-mouth or hope people remember to RSVP later. Every poster you hang needs to do more than share a date — it should secure attendance on the spot.
Competing with rideshare apps is tough, but one thing traditional taxis have that apps don’t is visibility on the street. Every car you operate is a rolling advertisement — and with a QR code on the door, it becomes a rolling booking station too.
When you pitch a potential client, you’re often competing against time, distractions, and other agencies. Even the best-written proposal can get skimmed or set aside. What if you could make your pitch more interactive, more persuasive, and impossible to ignore?
Every moment counts in a political campaign, and turning supporters’ enthusiasm into action is the ultimate goal. Yard signs are a staple of grassroots visibility, but they usually do just one thing — display a name.
For hotels, feedback is gold. It helps improve service, enhances reputation, and drives future bookings. Yet many guests leave without filling out traditional surveys because the process is slow or buried in emails.
Free ebooks are a great way to build trust and showcase your expertise, but if readers finish your guide and don’t know what to do next, you’ve lost a valuable opportunity.
For independent musicians and even established artists, getting ears on your latest album can feel like a full-time job. You’ve already put your soul into writing, recording, and producing it — but now you need listeners to find it fast and with zero friction.
When you send a proposal to a potential client, you only have one chance to make a strong impression. A cluttered or overly long URL to your portfolio can feel unpolished and even get lost in long email threads or PDF viewers. Short links fix that instantly.
You’ve seen it happen a thousand times: someone slows down, leans over the wheel, and stares at your “For Sale” sign. They’re curious — maybe even serious — but life is moving fast, and they’re not about to type out a long, complicated web address to see more.
Cold emailing can be tricky enough without technical hurdles getting in the way.
One of the biggest challenges for a food truck business is that your location changes daily, sometimes even hourly. Loyal customers love your food, but if they can’t find you, you’re missing sales.
Radio advertising can still pack a punch, especially when you’re promoting a big festival with a wide local audience. The challenge is that listeners can’t click anything—they have to remember what you say.
Cruise guests have one of the busiest “vacation schedules” imaginable, with daily activities, shows, and excursions competing for their attention. The problem?
Streaming is all about momentum. When you announce a new merch drop live on Twitch, you’ve got a narrow window where excitement is sky-high and viewers are ready to click “buy.” The last thing you want?
Theme parks create unforgettable moments, and guests love capturing them — especially those thrilling mid-ride photos. But long queues at photo counters and clunky retrieval processes can dull the magic.
Pitch meetings move fast. You only have a few minutes to make your case, and even if you nail the presentation, the real decision often comes later—when investors dig deeper into your numbers, team, and traction. The challenge? Making that next step effortless.
Escape rooms live and die by foot traffic and quick decisions. People walking past your posters may not have planned an adventure today, but the right prompt at the right time can change that.
For a tech brand, Times Square is the ultimate stage. The crowds, the lights, the sheer spectacle — it’s where innovation meets attention. But even the brightest billboard has a limitation: passersby can’t click it.
