We don't get paid unless you do. 

TripShock gets paid a set percentage of the bookings we bring you. Our commission is calculated based upon your activity's category and destination, and the cost to acquire customers in your area. Our commission ranges between 20-30% of the booking. If you work with an online travel agency already, you will find us competitive in pricing. However, just look below to see why we are different.

Partner Support Team

Partnering with TripShock means you have full access to our support staff. Experts are available via email, live chat, and phone. Have any questions on how to use any of our software? No worries, we’ve got you covered!

Paid Advertising

In digital marketing, paid advertising is generally referred to as Pay Per Click (PPC). Paid Advertising Campaigns aren’t as simple as just creating an add and hoping people click on it. TripShock’s PPC Team continually analyzes our performance, the market and even weather – to craft our campaigns and control spend. We aren’t afraid to spend money to earn our commission. TripShock spends Millions of dollars in PPC to earn bookings for our partners.

Marketing Assistance

Your TripShock partner support and market manager team is like cheerleaders for your business. Their job is to make sure your company is represented the best way possible online.  The more customers we drive to your activities and attractions the more successful we all become – so they are ON YOUR TEAM.

Email Campaigns

We send out highly targeted emails to our continually growing loyal customer base year round.  Our campaign performance continually beats industry standards year over year.  We do this by segmenting travelers by destination, interest, website activity and past bookings.   Then we craft content specific to each segment and deliver it when they want it.  We never sell or distribute our customer’s information, however, we DO include our partner’s experiences in our communications. 

Full-time Reservationists

Don’t have the time to manage the phone?  We can provide you with a unique phone number that directs travelers to our team of reservationists that will answer the phone on your behalf.  Stop answering the same questions over and over again, get more time back to build your business and let us handle the rest.  Pay nothing hourly and nothing upfront.  The cost of our staff is included in the commission they generate.

Traveler Stories

Can you guess who Travelers are most likely to trust and listen to? Yep – other Travelers. TripShock identifies travelers and asks them to tell their story. These stories include pictures of their family and friends and a overview of their experiences. These stories are from verified travelers and let other travelers know what they can expect. TripShock verifies the stories, creates a piece of content around them with a link to the activity the traveler reviewed and publishes them on our sites to help promote your business!

Live Chat Reservationists

Our expert, local and knowledgable reservationists are standing by to support your travelers so you don’t have too.  Our US based live-chat team produces sales!

What Our Partners Are Saying

Don’t take our word for it, let our Tour Providers tell you for themselves!

“We have been working with TripShock for several years and the results have been exceptional.

With having a direct connection with WaveRez, we are able to sell our tours in real-time and manage our inventory on the fly.

We have worked closely with their marketing team to sell trips that would likely not get booked. We recommend them to any tour company looking to find new customers and fill empty seats.”

Donna Marler

Co-Owner, Olin Marler Charters

“I’m in business today because of TripShock — the team they have, from the reservations department to marketing dialing in the SEO, to the numbers of trips booked, hands down, it’s been a no-brainer for me.

It’s my first year in which I have a team of people working for me behind the scenes and the business I want to do this year, which is a good thing.

For a growing company and people that plan on scaling a business, it’s an absolute no-brainer to partner with a company like this.”

Marcus Vigil

Owner & Captain, You Call It Water Adventures

We are so grateful and look forward to continuing our relationship with TripShock!”
