BL.INK outpaces free URL shorteners

custom-qr-codesSometimes you truly only need one or a few QR codes or short links, so a free option may work fine for you.

With BL.INK, every short URL features your brand.

BL.INK vs. build

It's cheaper and faster to use BL.INK than to build and maintain it yourself

BL.INK features evolve weekly
We hear from companies wanting to "build their own" tool. Here's why you should choose BL.INK instead of building. 

  • Building and growing link management solutions is what we do every single day. We do what we do best so you can do what you do best. 

  • We have been constantly iterating since 2008.

  • Our product is continually evolving, with new features introduced regularly.

  • You can deploy BL.INK today rather than waiting for your team to build a solution.

  • The total cost of ownership is far less with BL.INK.

  • BL.INK clients regularly migrate to BL.INK from their home-grown systems. 
BL.INK vs. the status quo

BL.INK saves you time, improves reporting, and scales with your needs.

BL.INK beats the status quo

If you use QR codes, you must use shortened URLs. Here's why: 

  • You can always edit the final destination of a BL.INK short link. When you use those for QR codes—instead of long URLs that may inadvertently expire or get removed—your QR code can always point to a relevant page, ensuring a consistent brand experience.

  • Save time and money by easily creating short links for multi-channel campaigns. And BL.INK Enterprise's broken link reports help ensure your ads never point to a 404 page.

  • BL.INK links provide real-time analytics and perfectly structured campaign data for complete attribution reporting. Every single marketer will create links the exact same way, so you'll never miss attribution data again.

  • When the next QR code or link management standards arrive, BL.INK will help you stay ahead of them. We're built to scale and grow along with your needs.
