Posted on by

Splitter elevates marketing strategyMillions of businesses use social media to build an online following and improve communication. Innovative business Splitter HQ is giving firms a new tool to add to their social media process – custom URLs. Using bespoke, short URLs can help boost a business’ professional image across platforms and ensure their links are instantly recognisable.

Around a third of the global population use social media platforms regularly, giving businesses an incredible opportunity to connect with customers and potential leads alike. In fact, content consumption increased by over 50% on Facebook between 2014 and 2016, highlighting just how powerful linked content can be for businesses across a range of industries.

Caitlin Williamson, Managing Director of Splitter HQ, said, “Social media has become a must for marketing teams across the country. But as digital marketing continues to rise so does the competition to get noticed and attract customers to click on their links. Using custom URLs is a simple, effective way to make sure that a brand’s identity is evident in every link. Not only does it help to project a professional image across all marketing channels but it means that avid readers and customers will automatically be able to identify content linking back to a business’ site, helping to drive traffic.”

As well as giving users an option to create custom URLS, Splitter HQ offers a range of tools that can be utilised for improving digital marketing. The key feature customers benefit from is the ability to redirect customers clicking on links based on a range of criteria, including device type, location, and time. The feature allows businesses to provide targeted, localised marketing campaigns through a single shared link. For firms with multiple locations or customer segments, it can be an invaluable tool for creating marketing links that reflect each section of their audience. With access to detailed real time analytics, the ability to create QR codes, and more, Splitter HQ can help businesses create marketing campaigns that are successful, supporting growth aims.

If you’re looking for a simple yet highly effective tool for improving your targeted marketing, Splitter offers just that, detecting, analysing, and enriching your user data, without end-user interaction.

 

Splitter allows you to target users based on location, time, device, and platform, enabling the set-up of intelligent links through their cloud service, without any previous technical know-how or technical integration. Whether you need smart links for newsletters or websites, Splitter will create short reusable URLs, or QR codes for print and offline advertising.

Targeting in this way shortens your sales funnel, giving you only relevant content and insights, offering a greater ROI, and increasing conversion rates. Link management and advanced targeting like this is made possible with the Splitter dashboard, where you can generate, manage, and access each of your links and splits. You can add, edit, and share folders and information with other users, as well as checking in on your analytics.

With Splitter, it doesn’t matter what kind of device your customers are using, whether it’s a mobile, tablet, or laptop, nor which operating service it runs on, as it allows you to use the same URL, QR code, or NFC chip for all, automatically redirecting users to the correct app store or website, and allowing updates at any time.

 

Have you ever tried searching for CNN in an app store? There are so many apps with CNN’s name on them, but only one of those apps is officially theirs. Since CNN made use of Splitter’s Appsplit, customers have been able to locate the official CNN app so much faster and easier than ever before. CNN is just one of the big companies already onboard, along with Canon Inc Europe and Co Ro, to name just a couple more.

 

Splitter also offers Citysplit, a feature that gives you the ability to redirect users based on their region and city location, directing content through a short URL or QR code geographically relevant to them, optimizing user experience. You can even set a default location to direct content to your users should their location not be listed. With an impressive 99.8% accuracy on country level, 90% on regional level, and 81% on city level, Citysplit ensures the right content is getting to both your customers and clients.

 

If you’re looking to create targeted marketing on a bigger scale, you could try Splitter’s Countrysplit, working just as Citysplit does, but by country rather than city or region, giving a wider spectrum for content. With detailed real-time analytics, Splitter enables you to store all of your important statistics in one convenient and accessible place, and allowing for integration with Google Analytics and Adobe SiteCatalyst. You can store your statistics in the web analytics software you are already using, enabling detailed click tracking, real-time reporting, and separate Splitter HQ analytics within Splitter’s interface.

 

With Premium, Pro, Basic, and Starter plans available, starting at as little as £45 per month, with campaigns, various splits, basic and detailed analytics, custom domains, and ongoing support, Splitter HQ is leading the way in intelligent marketing, so who will you be targeting?

Social Media – Friend or Foe?

Social Media;

Social media can be your best tool in terms of generating an audience. The number of people using social media is rising reasonably quickly. For example, in 2010 there was 0.97 Bn people using social media. Only two years later in 2012, there was 1.4 Bn people and another two years later in 2014, there was 1.87 Bn people using social media. It is estimated that in 2016 there will be 2.22 Bn people using social media and the numbers are estimated to rise even further by 2019 to 2.72 Bn people.

Them statistics alone go to show why social media can be a businesses best tool if used properly. Not only is social media free to use but you can engage with social media users instantly. This is good news for businesses who are wanting to maximize their online presence and get more attention from a wider audience.

In the past, businesses faced the problem of reaching more people to generate more customers. It proved costly and there was very rarely quick results. However, that has all changed; With the use of social media, content sharing is now much easier.

Social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook have key features in helping you push your business in the online world and become recognized by people from different towns/cities and even countries! An example of one of their best features is the hashtag. For this you simply put a hashtag(s) in relation to what you are talking about and customers can then search this and find what they are looking for. Simple!

 

Social media positives:

* Quick to engage with customers

* Free

* Options to pay for advertising

Social Media negatives:

* Can be difficult to build a following

* Big businesses dominate social media

* Not all content will relate to customers.

 

Mobile phones and internet users;

This is another important thing for businesses in modern day as it is estimated that there is 3.79bn mobile phone users. This means you can target your customers via a mobile version of your website or an app in one of the stores (Apple App Store/Play Store). The sheer volume of mobile phone users means you have a relatively large base to attract followers. So making a customers experience of your business positive is really important. More and more businesses are beginning to exploit this gem; There has been a steady increase in businesses creating mobile apps and mobile versions of their websites. However, this can prove difficult for small businesses whether it’s due to money, knowing how to and many more reasons.

The number of internet users is also at a remarkable high of around 3.419 Billion internet users. That is almost half of the world! This means you have the potential for a huge number of online customers. However, due to the high amount of social media users, large businesses have also jumped on this. Which unfortunately means it can prove difficult for businesses to get noticed online without the need to pay for advertisement.

 

Mobile phones and internet users positives:

* Large audience

* Easy to target customers

* target users on the go

Mobile phone and internet users negatives:

* Can be hard to compete with large businesses

* Can be costly; creating a mobile version of your website is not cheap

* It can be difficult to make an impact with users.

 

I have only touched on these but you can see the impact that social media can have for your business. If you use social media right, you can massively reduce your advertising costs.

 

Splitter HQ can help businesses with social media engagement via the use of short URLs, QR codes and redirection splits.
