54. SMS z linkami - tracking i optymalizacja

Poziom: Łatwy | Czas: 8 min

Linki w SMS muszą być krótkie (limit 160 znaków!) i trackable. W tym tutorialu nauczysz się skracać linki, śledzić kliknięcia i optymalizować conversions.

Dlaczego skracać linki?

Przed skróceniem:

SMS (192 characters = 2 SMS = 2x cost!):
"Check our new coaching program: https://coachflow.pl/coaching-programs/vip-executive-coaching-package?utm_source=sms&utm_campaign=feb2026&promo=early-bird"

Po skróceniu:

SMS (98 characters = 1 SMS):
"Check our new VIP coaching: coach.link/vip-feb
Early bird 30% OFF ends tonight!"

SAVINGS: 94 characters = stays under 160 = 50% cost reduction!
