Because Sometimes Less is More
Link2shrink’s primary function is in its name: to shorten your URLs.
Whether you’re employing URLs from third-party sites or Linktivity’s program links, their lengths can be cumbersome for memory or usage on social platforms such as Facebook or LinkedIn. Link2shrink addresses this issue by generating abbreviated redirect links that are universally applicable. While akin to other URL shortening services, Link2shrink stands out by integrating effortlessly with both Linktivity addresses and external sites, streamlining your process and cutting costs.
Link2shrink also helps track your lead sources. Get better insights into which social media or search terms produce the most click-throughs, and make smarter advertising choices accordingly. Get detailed reporting on click quantities, lead sources, browsers, devices, and platforms.
Link2shrink is built into all our Team products, but it also works as a standalone product for condensing internal and external URL's, regardless of the source.
System Requirements & Subscription Terms
This service will cost $60 per year for the full product, or you can enjoy Lite versions free of charge with your Team subscriptions to Link2events, Link2forms, or Link2calendars. These free Lite versions will not show stats, or be displayed under the Link2shrink console shown above, but they are available to create custom or auto-generated links within these respective online services.
The illustration below shows the kind of detailed click-thru statistics you can expect from Link2shrink, including lead soruces, click counts, and even a breakdown of the platforms they were consumed on, like Windows, Mac, Android, or IOS devices.
Like all our Linktivity products, everything is available in one place within your Linktivity account, and accessible from your PC, MAC, tablet, or mobile phone.
Whether it's an address from your website, a blog, or a product page in your shopping cart, URL's can be long, ugly, and hard to remember. And when it comes to social media services like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook, sometimes they're prohibited. Link2shrink solves that problem by automatically converting long links to short ones, regardless of the source.
Some of our Linktivity services like Link2forms, Link2events, and Link2calendar can generate long alpha-numeric URL's that are so unfriendly to look at they cannot be displayed without a hyperlink. Now Link2shrink can quickly generate a short URL right from within each of these services that is short enough to use anywhere. You can also create human-friendly custom links.
URL's that are easy to remember are easier to use for your customers. And the more you use our Link2 domains, the less they have to remember.

There are three main differences between the Link2shrink subscription and the free one with Teams. The Link2shrink subscription includes the Link2shrink dashboard showing you all your links, lead sources, and statistics External links are only supported with a Link2shrink subscription. Any non-Team service you have with Linktivity would not support the ability to generate a shrunken link, whereas a Link2shrink subscription adds this feature to all supported Linktivity services.
