Benefit for the charities that you support
“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.

To power any of your existing client's apps and to enhance your offering to new prospects
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.
To power your events
- Speakers

To be installed on your customers' websites 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…..
To raise money for any cause that you or your clients care about
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.

The Event Widget
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.
Dynamic Tool Customization
We’ve included the recommended variables for Seatslink (shown encased in %VARIABLENAME% signs, which you will strip out in your actual entry):
<script type=”text/javascript”> |
tripWidget({ |
eventStart: ‘YYYY/MM/DD’, |
eventEnd: ‘YYYY/MM/DD’, |
headerText: ‘Plan your trip to ‘, |
appendPOI: ‘Y’, |
poiName: ‘%EVENTNAME%’, |
address: ‘%STREET%, %CITY%,%STATE%,%POSTCODE%’, |
trackingCode: ‘%CUSTOMERTRACKINGINFO%’, |
imageUrl: ‘%IMAGEURL%’, |
imageLink: ‘%IMAGELINK%’, |
}) |
</script> |
Once you have the code installed, contact us with the test link and we will help to test on multiple platforms and on multiple browsers. |

The Venue Widget
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.
Dynamic Tool - Customizing with variables from your system
We’ve included the recommended variables for BottleRocket (shown encased in %VARIABLENAME% signs, which you will strip out in your actual entry):
<script type=”text/javascript”> |
tripWidget({ |
daysFromToday: ‘7’, |
numberOfDays: ‘1’, |
headerText: ‘Plan your trip to ‘, |
appendPOI: ‘Y’, |
poiName: ‘%CONTACTNAME%’, |
address: ‘%STREET%, %CITY%,%STATE%,%POSTCODE%’, |
mapTab: ‘1’, |
trackingCode: ‘%CUSTOMERTRACKINGINFO%’, |
imageUrl: ‘%IMAGEURL%’, |
imageLink: ‘%IMAGELINK%’, |
}) |
</script> |
The conditional MapTab flag is new. |
1. If there is no address in the contact record, set to 0. The system will display the hotel page which will allow them to look up the company name or start typing an address and it will complete. |
2. If you have a full address or just city/state, set to 1, it will default to the map. If there is no %STREET%, the hotel widget will default to the text in the portal for address, which is instructional on looking up the exact address. |
Once you have the code installed, contact us with the test link and we will help to test on multiple platforms and on multiple browsers. |
Your Variable Settings can be modified in your TripProximity Portal

Tech Tips
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.
Static or Dynamic Widget
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.
External System Interaction
- 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
CSS
Rules for Display
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.
