The average American household spends $1,490 in lodging per year. This means
that, if you have 250 friends, you can theoretically influence $372,500 of travel
sales per year.
!
Considering an average margin, this represents $50,000 in commissions.
!
Yonderbound wants to empower you to get your fair share of this margin.
!
So you can travel more, with less.

1. For any hotel bookings you make happen on our site, we’re giving you
back 70% of our margin. On average this equals to $7 for every $100
of booked travel.
!
2. This will be given to you as Yondercredit that you can redeem for ANY
hotel booking on yonderbound.com - NO black-out dates or limitations!
!
!
To redeem your Yondercredits just email any booking of yours to
yonderbuilder@yonderbound.com and you will receive either a charge
back on the credit card used for the booking, or a payment on your Paypal
account.
!
Your Yondercredits will expire on December 31st, 2015… But who wants to
wait that long for a trip anyway?
10. Be creative with your promotion.

11. The Yonderbox has embedded share plug-ins for Facebook and email.
!
But you are totally free to invent your own creative ways to share your
Yonderboxes through any other social networks or sharing applications.
!
You are allowed to create promo flyers, send carrier pigeons, paint your
College building’s walls - ok, maybe that would be too much, uh?!
!
Whatever it takes to get a valid booking. The sky is the limit.

1. Start creating a Yonderbox for trips you’re planning on doing with your friends
and share to steer the decision of where to go.
School breaks and winter vacations are right round the corner… Yohooo!!
2. Ask around if anyone is planning a winter vacation and offer your help in
selecting hotel options for them. A lot of travel happens between mid Dec and
end of Jan. Not to mention… Spring break, right?!
3. Climb your family tree and get back in touch with that uncle of yours you don’t
see that often. The fella takes so many business trips in a year, that he has more
air miles than a jet pilot! His next booking (in one of his favourite hotels) will be
transacted from your Yonderboxes. No excuses - family bonds count, after all!
!
And remember you also have some super-weapons for your use to convince the
skepticals… Flip the page to discover more.

1. Hotels on Yonderbound are at seriously cheap prices.
But don’t take our word on this. Some expert travellers and bloggers out there
did the price comparison. You make the math.
2. We cheer for your success.
That is why we will give you with a special discount voucher, which you can
hand over to anyone you like to book hotels from your Yonderboxes and save an
extra $10. (yep, you can use it yourself too)
!
3. On your profile page, where all your Yonderboxes are listed, there is a Follow
button. Invite your friends to follow you. They will receive regular updates on
your great travel content and new Yonderboxes you create. It’s a great way to
make sure they remain inspired to travel and don't get distracted by their daily
life. Everyone loves to travel, they just need to be regularly reminded.

19. We’re super-interested in your feedback.
!

Yonderboxes promotional plan. We’re sure to great insights from your
creativity that may become new product features for everybody.
