If you're sharing links in a newsletter or on your social media accounts to interesting articles, videos, and the like, you might want to have the last word.
With Sniply , you can. Sniply's big feature is that, as well as giving you a short URL and click-tracking details, you can also add a call-to-action CTA over any link you share. So, when someone follows a link from your Twitter profile to some cool article, at the bottom of the page, you can show a pop-up suggesting they subscribe to your newsletter for more awesome links.
Depending on your plan, you can make text, forms, and even image CTAs. Now, when you add a link, you can select a CTA to be displayed to anyone who clicks it.
