Why Links Matter in Modern Marketing

Every marketing touchpoint leads somewhere — and every link is a measurable action. Links connect audiences to landing pages, funnels, onboarding, product pages, sign-up forms, content pieces and campaigns. For marketers, link management provides:

• clarity in multi-channel campaigns,
• measurable user behaviour,
• clean and consistent branding,
• easy distribution in short formats (SMS, captions, print),
• data to optimise funnels and ads.

How Marketers Use Cuttly

Cuttly provides marketers with an integrated system for managing short links, branded domains, analytics, QR Codes, Link-in-bio hubs and campaign-level tagging.

2.1 Multi-Channel Campaign Distribution

Marketers often share the same destination across many channels:

• Instagram Stories,
• Reels or TikTok,
• newsletters,
• Facebook posts,
• paid ads,
• blog posts,
• SMS outreach,
• offline materials (via QR Codes).

Short links ensure clean presentation and uniform branding across all channels.

2.2 A/B Testing & Creative Variations

Marketers frequently test:

• different copy versions,
• different visuals,
• multi-platform performance,
• call-to-action button variations.

Short links allow each variation to be tracked independently.

2.3 Tracking Referral Traffic

With Cuttly analytics, marketers can see exactly where traffic comes from:

• social platforms,
• paid campaigns,
• referral partners,
• direct sources,
• email newsletters,
• SMS.

Branded Domains for Consistent Marketing Identity

Marketers rely heavily on brand recognition. A branded short domain allows marketers to:

• maintain visual consistency,
• improve link trust,
• reinforce brand messaging,
• simplify offline link usage,
• differentiate campaigns for multiple products or regions.

QR Codes for Offline & Hybrid Marketing

QR Codes became essential for connecting offline and online marketing. Marketers use QR Codes for:

• store signage,
• flyers & posters,
• event booths,
• physical packaging,
• print ads,
• outdoor advertising.

Each QR scan appears in analytics as a click, making offline tracking possible.

• landing pages,
• lead magnets,
• product pages,
• blog posts or video resources,
• affiliate offers,
• tracking links per platform.
