Ascham will work with your organization to create a customized and personalized link shortening service, perfect for spreading your brand through the shortened links used in SMS text messaging and social media. Why promote someone else, when you can expand your audience and message?
1) What is link shortening?
As websites grow, the URL can grow very long. A link shortening service takes the (sometimes very) long URL and 'shortens' it to something more manageable.
2) How would I use a link shortening service?
Link shortening is often utilized in social media (especially Twitter) where space can be a premium. It is also common in SMS/MMS "text" message services. However, it can be helpful in traditional media also.
3) Why not just use one of the free ones already out there?

3) Why not just use one of the free ones already out there?
There are a number of reasons why you will want your link shortening service, but here's just a few:
a) Several commonly used services are being rejected by social media sites.
b) Finding usable custom extensions (www.ascm.us/FAQ -VS- www.ascm.us/F3seiEr3) is difficult as many others consistently use the service.
c) Having control allows you to keep a consistent link, but update where it points to.
d) When a curious person looks up the first part of the link (the ascm.us in the examples) don't you want them to learn about YOUR organization rather than some generic service.
4) How much does Ascham charge?
Prices range from the most simplistic at $500.00 all the way to our most expensive so far $25,000.00, but there is little doubt we will find someone who wants more one day.
