Signing up with TripShock costs you absolutely zero dollars. There is no monthly subscription, administration fee, or hidden annual charges. The only charge is a commission when a booking is realized by the consumer.
All TripShock Affiliates receive complimentary assistance via email for help setting up your account, learning our tools, and optimizing your earning potential. Even better, TripShock provides each affiliate with a dashboard that lets you keep track of statistics, create custom affiliate links, manage your commissions and payments, and more!
Unlike the major Online Travel Agencies, our business is run by a small-but-mighty team who are dedicated to our customers, tour operators and affiliates. That means we work with you personally to see you be successful, including assisting you in creating your links, recommending better converting placements and even finding ways to further our affiliate partnership! We’re only an email or call away.
You can create custom links directing travelers to any and all destinations on our site.
Yes! Try your affiliate links in promotional or confirmation emails, social media and Facebook groups, printed QR codes on print pieces, SMS texts, digital welcome or guide books, branded WiFi login pages or use the link yourself to book on behalf of a client or guest.
First: The quicker you get your links created and implemented, the better! As a general rule, roughly 3-5% of visitors will convert into a booking. But, keep in mind that you can also bolster your profitability (and how quickly you see that profitability) by creating more links, recognizing when narrower or broader scopes of content work for you, adding links to additional marketing channels, using the reporting tools and insights from our team to recognize top-converting products and more. If all else fails, get in touch with us! We’re happy to work with you one-on-one to see you be successful.
