• When you post to some websites like Twitter, you only have limited space, so use this link shortener to reduce the space you use up on your link.
• Make it easy for your Client to ‘remember’ what you’re sending them by using a relevant keyword or even your name in the link.
• Make short, easy-to-remember redirects for all your important webpages, so any time you’re talking to a Client, or prospective Client, you can give them an link there and then.
