This is a great use of our custom link feature, and it'll help you see how many people are clicking on your announcement bar (or anywhere else you want to track unique clicks!).

Your announcement bar shows up at the top of your MemberVault site, and is the perfect way to get more eyes on your newest offer/product, to showcase an expiring discount or an event that is about to end.
This is an example of an announcement bar we used to get more eyes on our 5 Product Lifetime plan.
To track performance of your announcement bar, you'll log into your account (look it up here).
Before you drop your product link into your new announcement bar text, you're going to create a custom link that will ONLY be used in your announcement bar (so you know how many unique clicks that one location got).
To do that, go to Content > Links and create a custom link.
I recommend naming your new custom link with - "[product name] - Abar"
Add make the URL something like - "[product name]-ab"
Paste in your product/offer URL, and hit save.
Not sure how to get your product/offer link? Just search for the product/offer under Content > Product (or Offer) and then click the gear icon on the far right side and choose product or offer link. Copy it, and then paste it in under the "to URL" field when creating your custom link.
To get the new link you've created, you can search for it under links, and click the gear icon to get an easy to copy URL to add to your announcement bar.
Here is an example of what that will look like once people start clicking on your announcement bar! In this example, at the time of the screenshot, we had 172 clicks on our newest announcement bar, after two weeks of lower traffic. It's well worth the 5-10 min to add!
