🔠 👈 If you know these, thank a teacher 👉 🔢 Honoring educators for #TeacherAppreciationWeek We all have that one (or more than one) teacher that we look fondly back on. The one who brought learning to life. Or whose kindness and smile brought joy to their instruction. Or the one who taught tough but fair lessons in their classrooms but were also applicable far beyond them. You're likely where you are today because of their dedication to you and their craft. And we thank them for that. Today, this week, and always, we celebrate the educators at all levels who give so much to engage, entertain, and educate our future generations. Let us count the ways in which we appreciate them! --- And, whoa, do they love Bitly, too ---> https://lnkd.in/gxjpkMcQ

🔥 These bars are 🔥. How Artie Bars build their small biz with Bitly If you can’t live like a millionaire, at least eat like one. Meet millionaire shortbread bakery, Artie Bars. The husband-and-wife duo of namesake Artie Januario and Nicole recently launched their small business in Raleigh, North Carolina, to bring sweet treats to the masses at local coffee shops, farmers’ markets and dessert festivals (drool). Without the budget of a millionaire, Artie Bars turned to Bitly’s Free Plan to get the word out about their small business. At least when said mouths aren’t full of delicious shortbread, caramel and chocolate (drools on keyboard again). They use Bitly QR Codes for sweets sales, swag, and social media shoutouts, plus the Bitly link-in-bio landing page to drive curious new fans to their most important destinations. Brands, big and small and just getting started, use Bitly because our Connections Platform scales to businesses of any size, from entrepreneurial to enterprise. --- Check out our special #NationalSmallBusinessWeek landing page for resources and other SMB success stories ---> https://lnkd.in/g4xHX5wg Get started for free with Bitly ---> https://bitly.is/Free

🍲 Freeze-dried food on the Free Plan 🍲 How Bowl & Kettle build their small biz with Bitly Ahh... the great outdoors. Majestic nature. Beautiful views. Fresh air! But also unpredictable weather, plants and animals indifferent to your survival, and, well, terrible dining experiences! For anyone who's grilled a sad hot dog over a weak fire, eaten a bag of gummy bears in lieu of real food, or worse, failed to bring enough calories to fuel a full hike, eating right while camping and/or hiking is a tricky situation. Sarah Bowlin (Kettles) and Brett Bowlin aim to change that eating equation with their new company, Bowl & Kettle, bringing high-quality (and high-caloric) meals to your campfire ring. But starting a small business from scratch is no picnic. Every penny counts, every sale is a big success, and the fear of being told by consumers to "take a hike" (not the good kind) is ever-present. With budgets as narrow as a tight gorge and a long trail ahead to build their brand, Bowl & Kettle uses the no-cost Bitly option to get their company off the ground and eventually to the mountain tops. From QR Codes on their thank you cards to their social media landing page to start a feeding frenzy with followers and future plans for links and codes in feedback surveys, the fledging foodies are feasting on the tools in the Free Plan. Brands, big and small and just getting started, use Bitly because our Connections Platform scales to businesses of any size, from entrepreneurial to enterprise.
