Service Provider - Advertising

Welcome to SafariLodges.com.

There are two different options of marketing and advertising on SafariLodges.com, either as Service Provider or as a Banner Advertiser.

Service Provider gets their service marketed on SafariLodges.com for free, and they will be charged a service fee on bookings delivered from SafariLodges.com. Preliminary bookings will trigger the charges of the Service Providers Refill Card. No booking fee will be charged for the service, when a Client fails to pay the deposit, provided a deposit is required by the Service Provider. The latter has to inform us at SafariLodges.com about this shortcoming. 

Banner Advertiser, will position a clickable banner with a link to the advertisers website.  Africa.Rec AB ( Ltd ) will charge an annual fee, per country and position.

Service Provider ( You in this case )

A few principals and criterias which must be accepted, before any registration can be done:

  • Your service must be in the safari industry or in a close relation. A close relation is a complement to the safari traveler market (hotel, guesthouse, beach resort, adventure operator, travel insurance, etc). Contact us if you have got any queries, and we will sort it out.
     
  • As a service provider you must have a valid trading licence in the country of operation.

  • Your business must be a ground operator, which produces and delivers the service or the product, direct to our clients. Escorted travel groups, are considered as ground operator.

  • No middlemen which only add costs to the final price for our clients can be accepted. Management Services, handling marketing and / or central booking systems can be accepted on SafariLodges.com. 

     
  • Our service works similar to a Refill Card in a Mobil phone. After you have consumed the initial balance ( paid by SafariLodges.com ) in your Refill Card, you have two options, to discontinue- or continue, the marketing and booking service on SafariLodges.com. Provided you have decided to continue, you have to top up your Refill Card with minimum of USD 500 Every time your business gets a preliminary booking, a fee will be charged against your Refill Card balance. When the balance is consumed again, you will be alerted to top up your Refill Card. The topping up is done directly from the Refill Card, with a Credit / Debit Card.

  • SafariLodges.com has been developed as a server based solution, which can and will deliver more added values than any other alternative on the market, to our service providers and clients.
     
  • Register a Service Account with SafariLodges.com. This service account will be your contact centre and your marketing- and communication tool. After registration of basic contact details, the Service Provider will be contacted and informed that the Service Account has been activated. A Guideline on the content will be sent to the Service Provider. Staff at SafariLodges.com will assist with the loading of the content. It does not cost anything to open up a Service Account.
     
     
  • You don’t have to log in to SafariLodges.com on a daily basis; an alert mail will link you into your Service Account, when you have an enquiry or a message to respond to. What we expect from you as a Service Provider, is to maintain your account on SafariLodges.com, with accurate and up to date information, relevant to our visitor. We also expect you to respond to any issue raised by the Client without any delay.
     
     
  • The Service Provider will always be the sole responsible for the correctness and accuarcy of the presentation of the service, the instructions to the Client and Terms & Conditions for the service booked by the Client. 
     
  • Every offer from a Service Provider, accepted by a Client, will be printable. It is therefor specifically important with the Terms & Conditions, between the the Service Provider and the Client. These Terms and Conditions will be printed together with the booking details, service description, messages and payment instruction. 
     
  • The individual Client with his or her Contact details is the exclusive property right of  Africa.Rec AB ( Ltd ) and SafariLodges.com. This right will be shared with the Service Provider, when an offer from the Service Provider has been accepted by the Client. Service Providers who does not respect this exclusive property right will be excluded from this site for a lifetime, unless we at SafariLodges.com are given an explanation which is acceptable. We at SafariLodges.com may also instruct the Service Provider to use contact details not yet shared, due to some emergency action needed in the best interest of the Client. All communication between the Service Provider and the Client will be stored for processing and analytics.
    Service Providers who circumvents the procedures, by encouraging the opposite side to use a telephone / fax number, Skype address, website or an e-mail address, will be violating the  above property right, if it takes place before this property right is shared. No Service Provider should be afraid of asking for a temporary permission to violate the above rights, as long as it is in the best interest of the Client.    

Free Marketing

Free marketing will be offered to Service Providers, with a minimum standard of service presentation, and with a balance in the Refill Card. The first start up balance in the Refill Card is added by SafariLodges.com. The Service Provider does not have to pay anything in the beginning, until the balance in the Refill Card is consumed. Service Providers who have topped up the Refill Card with their own money will be entitled to free marketing for as long as there is a balance left in the Refill Card. Balances topped up by the Service Provider, older than 4 years will expire. Any funds paid into the Refill Card can not be refunded.  

We at SafariLodges.com have decided to enter the first 100 USD ( represents a booking value of 2000 USD ) in the Refill Card. New Service Providers on this site can therefore test the system for free, without taking any risks. And no upfront payment is needed until the balance in the Refill Card has been consumed.

Service Providers who has consumed the Refill Cards balances, have two options. They can decide to leave the site, or to continue with the marketing on SafariLodges.com. When the balance has been consumed and the Service Provider decides to continue, a top up must be done within three month from the date of the alert mail.  An alert mail will be sent out to all Service Providers with a consumed or negative balance in the Refill Card.  

Banner Advertisement

SafariLodges.com has provided space for banner advertising on the site. When somebody clicks on a banner they will leave SafarILodges.com and enter the site which the banner is linked to.

Contact us and we will sort it out. On our banners advertising we do not accept flashing banners or gambling banners or adult banners.

Don't miss this opportunity

When I started this project some years back, I wanted to develop a solution that could stand the time and be used as an innovative platform for new services. Services which you can not find today in the safari industry, are already on our drawing table. With a background from the corporate world, both as a Financial Manager and External Auditor. I had the privilege to follow and take part in the development of some of the most successful businesses, behind the closed doors.

One of greatest entrepreneurs in the world is Mr Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA. The business communities with a closed mind, were in the beginning making every effort to discredit his new innovations and called it cheap stuff. Today his innovations are hot topics on the most prestigious business schools ( Harvard ). And IKEA is growing in sales every day. At a time when the business communities with closed minds, does not run their business anymore.

I have study the mayor success factors in his concept, and transformed them into SafariLodges.com. What Mr Kamprad did was to cut costs and cut corners which only added to the costs. And at the same time he decided to share his saving with the consumers. And there are no room for petty nonsens.  My vision is to develop SafariLodges.com into a new innovative distribution platform, for the safari industry. And to pass on the savings to the industry, and at the same time  add more values to the Clients. Think about it and come onboard SafariLodges.com, it is risk free and you will get a much lower cost for the booking service.

I am quite sure that you can not get a better deal or package anywhere else.

Most welcome.
