Gogi also shares the details on Events smartURL for marketing your live shows.<\/p>\n<p>smartURL redirects users to specific destinations based on their country or device. After entering a default URL, users are able to specify to which country and device-specific URLs they want to direct their traffic. smartURL is the most popular type and the one that we recommend using for most campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>The Pivot smartURL creates a landing page where all users can choose their preferred retailer. This landing page can be customized with links to any retail or streaming providers. Pivot smartURLs automatically hide any retailers that are unavailable in a specific country or device.The customizable landing page features a product image, Spotify audio player, custom branding, and retailers specific to company and country.<\/p>\n<p>The Events smartURL is designed for promoting live events. For users managing a touring campaign, Events smartURLs can be configured to redirect traffic to the right ticketing page based on their location. When there are no available shows nearby, traffic will be sent to a landing page listing all available locations on the tour. Add and update event listings as tour plans change.<\/p>\n<p>Visit www.smarturl.it<\/p>\n<p>Visit Hypebot for music business news and insights. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Hypebot.com\">www.Hypebot.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/323293560&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in speaking with Michael about what he can do to assist with marketing needs\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelbrandvold.com\/blog\/contact-michael-brandvold-marketing\/\">message him with the contact form.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you like the podcast I ask that you visit iTunes and please Rate &amp; Review The Music Biz Weekly podcast. h<a href=\"ttp:\/\/smarturl.it\/musicbiz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ttp:\/\/smarturl.it\/musicbiz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[display_podcast]<\/p>\n<p>For all discussions, training, tips and tricks related to music marketing don&#8217;t miss any episode of The Music Biz Weekly Podcast.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Download The Music Biz Weekly from iTunes\" href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/michael-brandvold-music-marketing\/id400401604\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download The Music Biz Weekly Podcast from iTunes.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/the-music-biz-weekly_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Listen to The Music Biz Weekly Podcast on Spreaker.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/michaelbrandvoldmarketing\/sets\/the-music-biz-weekly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Listen to The Music Biz Weekly Podcast on SoundCloud.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Please rate and review The Music Biz Weekly Podcast on iTunes.\" href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/michael-brandvold-music-marketing\/id400401604\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit iTunes and please Rate &amp; Review The Music Biz Weekly.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Music Biz Weekly Podcast Facebook Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/musicbizweekly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit The Music Biz Weekly Podcast on Facebook.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Follow Michael on Twitter:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/michaelsb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/michaelsb<\/a><br \/>\nFollow Jay on Twitter:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/labellogic1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/labellogic1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Michael Brandvold is a freelance music industry consultant based in Northern California.
