“Every month, Rocketeers select a charity to support. “

What if you could continue to give to each one, giving the charity a free tool that could “earn donations while they sleep”, using something fun that costs them nothing to deploy.

Take a look at what one of our non-profit partners is doing to leverage TravelingToGive.  We think the Rocketeers could come up with some amazing ideas for an app that takes this idea to the next level for non-profits around the world.

Following are some ideas for your client base for this capability, based on their content and what would drive their customers to travel.  We know that your team will have other ideas once you understand the breadth of what we can do with our smart trip tools.

  [/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”To power your events”]The Smart Trip tool can be added to any event system to allow anyone traveling to an event to find a hotel nearby.    It can also feature and track the true influence of the following participants through our dynamic tool that can be given to each one to promote the event.  Each one can also benefit their own charity of choice.

• Speakers
• Exhibitors
• Celebrities
• Workshops

[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”To be installed on your customers’ websites as a VISIT US page”]As a channel partner, BottleRocket Studios will benefit from any of your clients that elect to add TripProximity’s smart trip tool to their website as a VISIT US page.

This summer we released our self-service product for our channel partners, where you can provide a link to any of your clients so that they can build their own widget for their website.  They can install it in minutes.  Your tracking code will automatically be inserted into every widget created.  You earn 10% of all of our revenues on your referred clients, even if the product is not included in a Bottle Rocket created app.

Making money while you sleep…..[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”To raise money for any cause that you or your clients care about”]Our Smart Giving anywhere tool can be used by Bottle Rocket Studios or any of your clients to raise money for a 501c3.

Instead of our normal 10% donation annually to your charity of choice, with the use of the Smart Giving tool, on a quarterly basis, we will donate 25% of our gross revenues from bookings made using the tool.

Each individual widget can be a separate campaign for a different charity.   It can be used by your employees, friends, family or any group that your company is associated with.

The self-service version of this product was released this summer to our client base and as a channel partner, it is available to you as well.

#givingmatters[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”To integrate trip planning into any photo or video”]As long as the photo or video has a lat/long, we can add a button to the screen to VISIT that place.  We can also do the same things for stories that mention places.

So no more writing things that inspire people, then leave them hanging.

You may invite any of your team members to the portal.    It can be used to view/manage your widgets, view your analytics (this is just V1 of analytics) and you can create palettes and use the Predictor tool to estimate your revenues from each client opportunity.[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”Getting Started Guides for Events and Venues”]Click on the image to download the Getting Started Guide for Events and/or Venues.  This can be useful for socializing the capabilities of the widget with your team and your clients.

[/boc_accordion][/boc_accordion_section][/boc_tab][boc_tab title=”Event Widget” icon=”icon icon-flag2″][boc_accordion_section with_bgr=”yes” border=”yes”][boc_accordion title=”The Event Widget” is_open=”yes”]The Event widget is one of our Smart Trip tools.  It allows you to embed trip planning in any event for any of your client’s apps.

It is distinct from the Venue widget in that it has a specific date range for the event and a location where the event is held.

[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”Dynamic Tool Customization”]Once we have provided the base events widget, you may add the dynamic variable elements that you wish to pass at display time to the appropriate widget snippet.  They should be preceded by the following two lines. Follow the variables with the closing code segment.

We’ve included the recommended variables for Seatslink (shown encased in %VARIABLENAME% signs, which you will strip out in your actual entry):

[/boc_accordion][/boc_accordion_section][/boc_tab][boc_tab title=”Venue Widget” icon=”icon icon-flag2″][boc_accordion_section with_bgr=”yes” border=”yes”][boc_accordion title=”The Venue Widget” is_open=”yes”]The Venue widget is one of our Smart Trip tools.  It allows you to embed trip planning on any page for any of your clients’ systems or apps where there is a contact with an address.  A venue can be a physical place, like a company or a museum, or it can be a location like a park or a beach.  As long as we can pinpoint a latitude/longitude, we can “trip enable” the contact record.

It is distinct from the Event widget in that the dates of travel are relative to the date that the tool is displayed, e.g. travel 7 days from today for 1 night.

Click the HDQ widget above to see the widget for the BottleRocket corporate website for people traveling to see your HDQ staff.

We will walk you through the creation of a dynamic venue widget in your own custom portal.

In the next section you will find the instructions for our Dynamic tool, which shows you how to substitute your data for our variables in real time, so that you only have to install the widget snippet once.  Once it is installed, if you wish to make changes, you can edit the base elements of the widget in the Portal and you do not have to reinstall the snippet. See the defaults in the last section.[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”Dynamic Tool – Customizing with variables from your system”]To generate the dynamic widget, once you build your venue widget you will add the following to the widget snippet. This includes the dynamic variable elements that you wish to pass at display time, preceded by the following two lines (your snippet). Follow the variables with the closing code segment.

We’ve included the recommended variables for BottleRocket (shown encased in %VARIABLENAME% signs, which you will strip out in your actual entry):

[/boc_accordion][/boc_accordion_section][/boc_tab][boc_tab title=”Unique Aspects of the Integration” icon=”icon icon-plugin”][boc_accordion_section rounded=”yes” with_bgr=”yes”][boc_accordion title=”Tech Tips” is_open=”yes”]Following are tips for the technical integration of TripProximity.

The product is currently container and device responsive.  We will need to work with your app development team to determine what changes are needed for the widget to render properly from within your apps.[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”Static or Dynamic Widget”]The static widget contains the following:

async onload=”tripWidget()”

The dynamic widget does not load asynchronously.  If you turn on the dynamic flag in the portal in the widget editor, it removes that line from the code snippet that is generated.  If you try to install a dynamic widget directly into an HTML container on WordPress, it will NOT render.[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”External System Interaction”]The TripProximity widget interacts with the following systems:

• Google Places for lookup of the venues and addresses in the address field
• Google Maps for lookup of the latitude/longitude of any address

Once the input from the widget is received, we pass a search string to our booking system.  It contains:

• Brand to be displayed in the booking system
• Travel parameters
• Tracking information to provide reporting back to you for each client

[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”CSS”]The widget has its own style sheet that governs the display of the widget within a container.

[/boc_accordion][boc_accordion title=”Rules for Display”]The widget can be populated with event and venue information.  Ideally, the widget needs the full address to do an accurate proximity lookup of the hotels nearby.

The date fields for events can be coupled with a business rule.  For instance if you have an event that begins before noon, you may want to set the date of arrival to 1 day before the event begins.  If the event ends after 3pm, you may want to set the date of departure to 1 day after the event.

Just a reminder, even if there is no address or a partial address (city/state), our new widget with the Google Places lookup can find the precise address of the venue or company that they are visiting (even a Starbucks or TopGolf! or finding a hotel near someone’s house that works from home).  The user controls this by using the pencil tool on the address field to do their own lookup.[/boc_accordion][/boc_accordion_section][/boc_tab][boc_tab title=”Marketing Smart Trip Planning” icon=”icon icon-plugin”][boc_accordion_section rounded=”yes” with_bgr=”yes”][boc_accordion title=”Press Release Draft”]We will work with you to draft a press release about our relationship at the appropriate time.
