Redirect Links
Overview
Redirect Links provide a less intrusive solution for marketers to track individual web activity for things such as asset downloads or any other particular clicks that would not typically register as a new page hit in your Web Tracker.
From a prospect's perspective, they are simply browsing your website as they would any other, but Sugar Market is able to leverage redirect links to capture important details from a cookied user without disrupting their browsing. These are often used in place of a web form to protect specific assets, such as a PDF of product specs. Redirect Links live within the Landing Page feature in Sugar Market, allowing the marketer to take advantage of alerts, routing, and list generation from the activity of the contact.
