Navigating Digital Divides: Redirect Tactics for Marketers

 

Time is a precious commodity, especially for marketers and musicians balancing campaigns, new releases, and fostering their fan base. Thankfully, tech advancements are offering clever ways to ease these busy agendas.

A standout tool in this regard is our "Conditional Redirects" capability. With this feature, artists and labels can cut down on effort. No need for multiple links tailored to various platforms, areas, or devices – one link handles it all through conditional redirects. 

This function not only declutters your online presence but also smoothens the path for your listeners. Let's dive into how it works.

What are conditional redirects for smart links?

In a nutshell, conditional redirects help you divert different segments of your audience to various destinations based on preset conditions. The visitors get routed to the first condition that matches their profile. For example, if someone accesses your link from the email you’ve sent, you can direct them to your shop, while if they visit from Instagram you can direct them to the landing page displaying various listening options. Handy, right?

 

How to set up a condition redirect on a smart link?

Setting up a conditional redirect is a piece of cake. All you need to do is:

  • Head to the "Conditional redirects" tab in your link setup dashboard.
  • You'll see an empty condition box waiting for you. Hit the ‘+ Add condition’ button to create a new one.
  • Now, click ‘+ Add filter’ to start defining your condition. Easy peasy!
