Traveltrac is a proud member of 1% for the Planet. Responsibility for protecting the environment is the bottom-line, and one that we all must share. Traveltrac LLC has a committed environmental policy and will dedicate 1% of gross revenues to key environmental and social organization designed to raise global awareness in protecting and educating the planet. By developing leisure and adventure
travel genre domains designed to focus on specific recreational
interest and by providing venue to environmental and social organization Traveltrac intends to involve active participants in adopting and supporting these important causes. Our genre specific domains will attract like-minded
travel enthusiasts interested in sharing personal adventures,
recreational hobbies, travel agendas, photos, and video clips
to a social network of family, friends, and acquaintances.
Registration is free for all participants and all registrants
will complete profile information that shares their personal interests, environmental concerns, and travel adventures. This data will be used to establish
targeted Traveltrac links to key articles, charitable organizations, genre
specific advertising, and promote additional travel destinations
of interest and so that interaction with other like minded enthusiasts
can be initiated allowing invitations to participate in shared
experiences, social and environmental causes, travel tips, and forums which can further development of an interactive
medium via Traveltrac's leisure and adventure domains and platform.
Traveltrac’s initial two portals:
Sailtrac
- with a core focus on sailing, marine travel, and ocean going adventure and exploration. This is our initial portal.
TrekTrac
- a broad domain for the adventure traveler focusing on
global land based exploration allowing registered users to share their
unique travel adventures whether hiking, mountaineering,
on safari, or just vacationing in an exotic locale.
Additional genre domains will be developed replicating
Traveltrac’s core business practices established with
the advent of these two primary market segments. Both initial
genres benefit Traveltrac development by the inherent use
of GPS technology in most or all undertakings which will
provide a channel for users to develop and create custom
maps and interactive presentations sharing the mapping of
their adventures combined with geotagged photos, text, and video clips
to communicate their personal experiences while integrating global awareness and educational
commentary from key environmental organizations.
Each registered account holder will have
the opportunity to create a custom address book of friends,
family, and associates, and add invitees who indicate interest
in their travels or may be traveling in the same general
locale or simply have visited a Traveltrac domain and desires participation in the account registrants adventures
and causes. These contacts will receive automatically generated
e-mails when updated information is posted to the user's account
allowing for a focus on the journey rather than the often
unwanted interruption or distraction of direct communication.
Integrating both direct Internet access and wireless remote update capability Traveltrac registered users have
the ability to add real time GPS position reporting from third
party devices which will auto-populate mapping and routing
waypoints, permit the addition of text journal entries,
photos, and video clips and deliver
content rich media updates to their network of friends without direct online interaction.
Primary revenues will be generated from integrated advertising
specific to core genres. Traveltrac will abstain from integrating
or delivering pop-up ads or direct e-mail marketing of its
contact databases. Both are seen as a disruptive interference
in social networking venues and detrimental to core development
of market share and web page views that are a measurement
of financial valuation and performance.
Despite becoming some of the world’s most popular
sites, domains like MySpace -which surpassed Yahoo for page
hits for the first time in November 2006, social networking
venues have remained modest revenue generators relative
to this page view success. Why? Investors attracted to the
hype and valuations of these assets often fail to consider
the inherent flaws in core marketing to such broad based
venues - to date advertisers investing in these
sites have largely failed to monetize those users effectively.
As these organizations better focus there data mining capabilities
and better evaluate their vast quantity of user information
this revenue model flaw may be overcome but it has yet to
materialize. To date the majority of these social networking
sites can offer mass marketing without guarantee of reaching
an advertiser’s core market customer which means that
advertising dollars yield a lower results at a greater cost
even when reaching hundreds of millions of viewers at a
time.
Traveltrac will focus core advertising dollars
by genre segmentation. This allows for a potential advertiser
of, for example, camping equipment to reach not only core
market segment but active, well healed participants to that endeavor.
Naturally, Traveltrac will additionally appeal to broad
based advertisers, focused on generating revenues and providing
services to our database of active lifestyle participants
in need of remote banking and credit services, GPS and technology
hardware providers, communication and wireless networking
companies, travel and leisure segments, and active lifestyle
proponents and manufacturers that will lead Traveltrac to
rapid profitability as registrations and use of its domains
begin to consolidate broad internet traffic.
More importantly Traveltrac user will be receptive and open to participating and supporting key advertising programs via our domains KNOWING that all Traveltrac LLC domains donate a significant portion of gross operating profit to key environmental and social causes from revenues generated by this interaction.
Simplicity is the key; by keeping our programs simple to
use and easy to navigate and providing the best integrated
technology services available in a social networking portal
we help our customers share and disseminate information
about the world around them in real time with a focus on
their distinct interests, concerns and causes. Traveltrac
must remain simple to use, flexible to the needs of our
customers, and adaptive to new technology and mediums to
send and update information by our customers. When our ability to meet those exacting criteria is recognized there will be
no doubt about our ability to profit and grow.
Another important aspect of our business development is
in defining our social awareness and environmental agenda.
While Traveltrac will not evolve into an electronic political
soapbox designed to rant for social change, it is imperative
that we use the medium to develop and promote a “green”
agenda and raise awareness for global issues that deserve
attention and impact our planet’s health
and vibrancy. We desire commentary and affiliation with
both for profit and not for profit organizations focused
on pressing social and environmental issues throughout the
globe. A friend of the planet will be a resource to Traveltrac
and they will be provided a free platform to promote and
raise awareness which will be of significant interest to
our registered users and viewers internationally who traverse
the world and want to share in letting others know what
the pressing issues are or should be.
