- What is a short URL?
- A short url is just a smaller link that takes you to another url that is generally much longer.
- Why use a short URL?
- All events have their own page on our website already, but the links are rather long... too long to realistically use in many forms of advertising. This is our solution, plus it allows us to offer neat features including tracking your different uses and the info bar!
- Why do you need to know my purpose?
-
We ask what you plan to use the URL for so that we can track the effectiveness of different types of campaigns. This will help us to help you understand what is working to generate ticket sales, and in the future will help us help all venues more effectively market.
Note that this is really only effective if you intentionally create different short URLs for the different things you're doing. If you don't wish to participate, that's perfectly fine. Please simply select the generic option at the bottom of the list.
- What is the info bar?
- The info bar is a small bar that will show up at the top of the page reminding the visitor that you sent them there as well as featuring easy "share this" links and a prominent register now button. View an example in a new window.
