What can I do with Bitly?
Example Use Cases
Performance Marketing
A travel agency leverages Bitly to track the performance of its digital ad campaigns on Google Ads, Facebook, and Instagram. By creating unique, shortened URLs for each ad, Bitly’s real-time analytics provide insights into which platforms and demographics drive the most bookings. The travel agency also uses Bitly’s retargeting feature to reach customers who showed interest but didn’t complete a booking, improving their conversion rates. As a result, the agency sees a 15% reduction in cost per acquisition and a notable increase in vacation package sales.
Social Media Marketing
A lifestyle blogger uses Bitly to share blog posts and affiliate products across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. By generating branded shortened links, the blogger can track engagement rates across each platform and see which posts resonate most with their audience. Bitly’s analytics reveal that Instagram Stories drive the most traffic, allowing the blogger to double down on that platform. The branded links also contribute to a more professional and cohesive social media presence, leading to a 25% increase in followers and affiliate revenue.
Branding
A global tech company uses Bitly to streamline its branding across all digital marketing channels. Each link shared in email campaigns, social media, and paid ads uses a custom-branded URL, ensuring that the company’s brand is always front and center. Bitly’s analytics help the company measure which marketing efforts are driving the most traffic and conversions, allowing them to optimize their messaging. The use of branded links across all customer touchpoints strengthens brand recognition, resulting in a 20% boost in click-through rates and an increase in overall customer engagement.
