What kind of link should I put on a flyer or printed material?
For printed materials like flyers, business cards and banners that people copy or type in by hand, a short lsu.kr link with little room for typos works best. A subdomain named after your shop is easy to remember, and since the link never expires, it keeps working even after the printed piece has been in circulation a long time.

Why is a short link better for printed materials?
A long URL is easy to mistype when copying it off a flyer, and small print makes easily confused characters (like 0 and O, or 1 and l) even more error-prone. A link like shopname.lsu.kr made with lsu.kr is short and uses a name people can actually remember, which reduces mistakes.
A flyer can stay in circulation for months or years after a single print run, and since lsu.kr links never expire, you can keep pointing to the same address without reprinting.
For print, is a code-style or name-style link better?
A randomly generated 6-character code (lsu.kr/Ab3dE9) is cumbersome to copy by hand, so a subdomain that spells out your shop or event name (shopname.lsu.kr) is recommended for print — customers can just type the name they remember.
- Short, consistent length reduces the risk of typos
- Easy to remember by shop or event name
- Printing it as a QR code removes the need to type anything by hand
How do I add a QR code alongside it?
lsu.kr itself has no built-in QR code generator. Instead, feed the short link address you made with lsu.kr into any QR code generator, and you will get a simpler QR code than one built from the original long address.
Printing the link address as text alongside the QR code also lets customers without a camera, or who cannot use QR codes, type it in directly.
What kind of link should I put on a flyer or printed material?: step by step
- Decide which page to linkChoose the original address on your flyer, such as a menu, booking page or map.
- Create a link named after your shop or eventOn lsu.kr, enter the original address and pick a short, memorable subdomain name to create the link.
- Print it large and accuratelyDouble-check the name for easily confused characters, and print it large enough to be legible.
- Generate a QR code if neededFeed the finished link address into a QR code generator to print a QR code alongside it.
Frequently asked questions
If the destination page changes after printing, do I have to reprint the flyer?
No. The lsu.kr link stays the same — you can just change the destination address, so you do not need to reprint. See managing and editing a short link.
Can I tell which visits came from the flyer?
Creating a dedicated subdomain link just for the flyer lets you check that link's clicks and stats separately from other channels.
Does a link on an old flyer still work?
It keeps working as long as the destination site is running normally. If it fails three checks in a row it is automatically paused, then automatically resumes once the destination recovers.
Do QR codes also go through the safety checks?
A QR code is not something lsu.kr generates — it is made by feeding the short link address into an external tool. The link itself goes through checks at creation and every 3 hours afterward, but check the safety of the QR generator tool separately.
What kind of name works best for a banner read from a distance?
A name that is too long or has several hyphens is hard to read from far away. Pick something short and easy to say, and print it in large letters.
