Why do you need expiring links?

Many people find the idea of expiring links strange, but it's a smart move and you can be well-prepared once the links are of no use. Imagine you're promoting a special event or holiday campaign for your brand. Deleting all the ads and links later can be a hassle.

Picture this: you share links on various social media platforms, only to realise later that removing them is a tedious task. Some ads, like those in SMS and email marketing, can't be taken back once sent.

This is where link expiration comes in handy. Instead of manually deleting posts and tweets, you can set links to expire. This way, you maintain control without losing exposure. Users are redirected to a site of your choice, making it a convenient solution.
