❓Did you know ❓ 75% of consumers expect a seamless experience across all digital touchpoints, regardless of the marketing channel? "Retail and CPG brands can meet this expectation by adopting connected packaging strategies to deliver seamless consistency," writes Shelby Cer for Retail TouchPoints. "In today's competitive retail and CPG markets, top brands and CPG companies are gaining an edge by using connected packaging to place the power of connection and brand experience directly into consumers' hands." More on the benefits of connected packaging for your business (and with Bitly) ---> https://lnkd.in/gmgSMBHK "Connected packaging is a game-changer for retailers and CPG brands. It enables instant access to information, enhances brand experiences with real-time updates, and ensures consistent messaging across all channels—right into the hands of a consumer."

Can we be honest for a second? 😬 It’s objectively un-glamorous to sell QR Codes.  We’re not making Ferraris or Nikes over here, and we know it. What *is* glamorous, though, is to know we’re connecting people with CPG brands that: 🤝 Align perfectly with their values 🔁 Make it easy to stay loyal and buy over and over 💡 Inspire new ways to use their favorite products 🧑💻 Put them in touch with exactly the support they need when they need it And that’s just scratching the surface. Here’s the rest: https://lnkd.in/ghnTC9cX --- Think your CPG product needs QR Codes ASAP? Connect with us in our DMs. (Yes, LinkedIn has DMs now!)

A PRO fit for non-profits How The Trail Conservancy uses Bitly QR Codes to build community connections "Tools like QR Codes have revolutionized our approach to messaging," said COO Hanna Morgan Cofer. "We now incorporate QR Codes into just about everything we do! All of our signs—temporary and permanent—connect back to detailed information on our website. (They) are the most effective way to communicate about our projects, ecological initiatives, trail etiquette, giving opportunities, programs, and events. They allow us to have ongoing, consistent communication with the community." If you've been on any part of the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail in downtown Austin, Texas, you'll know that TTC's use of QR Codes is comprehensive. One can't take many steps (or pedal far) without seeing signage helping visitors navigate the trail, get information about improvements, identify a tree or plant, or donate to support TTC's mission. Bitly's QR Codes help non-profits (and businesses, too), like The Trail Conservancy, make every connection count!

This renaming will help our customers easily identify and connect with our entire product line within our platform. 🧡🧡🧡 Championing DEI is one of our core values here at Bitly, and we wanted to bring this value to life in our brand refresh. We created stronger contrast ratios to ensure everyone can easily navigate and interact with our site and also developed a new illustration style to celebrate diversity in all its forms. 🔌🔌🔌 Bitly is an integral part of our customers' everyday workflows, so we’ve revamped our Bitly Marketplace to better showcase our incredible network of integration partners. From social media management and automation tools to productivity and creativity apps, we integrate with dozens of other solutions our customers already use.

Throughout 2024 and beyond, we’ll be rolling out versions of our website in multiple languages, ensuring that our solutions are accessible and relevant to users worldwide. Of course, the work never truly ends as we continue to add more helpful content and resources to our site to inspire our customers to create more meaningful connections, so stay tuned for more! We’re also deeply grateful to our customers for their continuous support and feedback. Brand refreshes aren’t easy, but they’re essential to reflect our growth, values, and commitment to providing the best experience possible." --- Thanks to Vicente Casellas, Jenny Coppola, Armanii Glaspie, MBA and Daniel Wiersema for their acting chops and athletic prowess.
