Dynamic Links You Can Repoint Any Time

A dynamic link keeps one permanent short address while you change what sits behind it. Print it, post it, put it on a sign, then send it somewhere new next month without touching the original.
  • The short address is permanent, the destination is not
  • Update a live link in seconds, no reprinting or re-posting
  • Every version of the campaign keeps the same click history

Dynamic Links You Can Repoint Any Time

What Makes a Link Dynamic

An ordinary link is a dead end: once you have emailed it, printed it or pinned it to a profile, whatever it points at is what it points at forever. A dynamic link separates the address from the destination. The address is the part the world sees and keeps, and it never changes. The destination is a setting you own, and you can edit it as often as you like. That single separation quietly fixes a whole category of everyday problems. The seasonal offer on the flyer ended, so you send the same link to the next offer. The landing page moved when you rebuilt the site, so you update the destination instead of hunting down every place the old address was shared. The link in a printed brochure needs to lead somewhere different for a trade show week, so it does, and then it goes back. Nothing gets reprinted, nothing breaks, and all the clicks keep landing in one place so you can still see the whole history.

  • Pick your own short name, so the link reads like your brand
  • Change where a link points at any time, even after it is printed
  • Every click is counted, with no tracking scripts on your site
  • Add a password, an expiry date or a click limit in one click

How It Works

A working short link takes about thirty seconds, and you never have to touch it again.

1

Paste your destination

Drop in the long web address you want to shorten. Anything with a link works: a landing page, a booking form, a PDF, a video, another BrandBits tool.

2

Choose your short name

Type the ending you want, like /spring or /menu. The link lives on your own BrandBits web address, so it carries your brand instead of a stranger’s.

3

Share it and watch

Copy the link into an email, a post, a flyer or a QR code. Clicks start counting immediately, and you can repoint the link whenever you like.

Why It Works

A short link looks like a small thing. What it really does is make the things you print, post and send permanently editable.

Print without regret

Anything printed becomes editable again. A leaflet from last year can lead to this year’s page.

No more broken links

Rebuild your site, move a page, retire an offer. Update the destination once and every shared copy follows.

Keep your history

Because the link itself never changes, your click history runs across every campaign it has served.

Instant everywhere

A change takes effect immediately, and the redirect is served from a cache close to the visitor.

Ways to use dynamic links

What You Can Do

Any link you cannot easily take back is a good candidate for a dynamic one.

  • Send last season’s printed campaign to this season’s landing page.
  • Keep one link in your social bio and point it wherever you need today.
  • Fix a link that went out in an email blast, after the email was sent.
  • Point a dynamic QR code at a dynamic link for two layers of control.
  • Rotate a link between an event page, a replay and a signup form over time.

FAQ

What is a dynamic link?

A dynamic link is a short link whose destination can be changed after the link has been shared. The short address stays permanent while you edit where it leads, so printed and posted copies never go out of date.

How do I change where my link points?

Open the link in Short Links, replace the destination address and save. The change is live immediately for everyone who uses the link from that moment.

Do the clicks reset when I change the destination?

No. Click history belongs to the link, not the destination, so you keep the full record across every campaign that link has served.

Can I use a dynamic link with a QR code?

Yes, and it is a good combination. BrandBits QR codes are dynamic too, so pointing one at a dynamic link gives you two independent places to change course without reprinting.

Is there a limit to how often I can repoint a link?

No. Change the destination as often as your campaigns need.
