Introducing Tripkicks Anytime Banner: A Game-Changer for Concur Travel’s Homepage

For years, corporate travel managers have relied on SAP Concur Travel to streamline their booking processes. But one common challenge remains: effectively influencing traveler decisions at the right moment. Native tools like popups and static messages often miss the mark, frustrating travelers and failing to communicate critical insights.

That changes today.

With the launch of Tripkicks’ Anytime Banner, and by leveraging the new homepage available within Concur Travel, travel managers now have a revolutionary way to engage travelers right when they login – and before they perform a search. Fully customizable and packed with powerful integrations, Tripkicks Anytime Banner sets a new standard for how companies communicate with their travelers.

What is the Anytime Banner?

The Anytime Banner is an eye-catching, fully dynamic feature that appears on Concur Travel’s homepage. It empowers travel managers to:

• Deliver impactful messaging before travelers even begin a search.
• Display interactive tiles with useful tools and insights.
• Leverage Tripkicks Connections like CIBT Visa Insights, Airfare Intelligence, and Event Intelligence.
• Incorporate corporate branding to reflect the company’s style and values.

This flexibility allows organizations to connect with their travelers in ways never before possible, enhancing communication and elevating the traveler’s experience.

Unlocking New Possibilities with Anytime Banner Use Cases

Tripkicks Anytime Banner isn’t just a static feature — it’s a versatile tool for addressing a wide variety of corporate travel needs:

1. Supplier Promotions – Highlight special offers, preferred suppliers, or partnerships. Ensure travelers are aware of exclusive benefits that align with your program goals.
2. Travel Policy Insights – Provide travelers with digestible, easy-to-understand policy reminders. Instead of overwhelming them with text, deliver clear, actionable guidance.
3. Booking Assistance – Offer resources such as links to travel help desks, contact details for your Travel Management Company (TMC), or display QR codes for downloading essential travel apps right to your travelers’ device.
4. Corporate Sustainability Initiatives – Showcase your company’s commitment to sustainability by sharing carbon reduction goals or promoting eco-friendly travel options. Help travelers understand the priorities your company is hard at work on, and enable them to discover the impact of their decisions and all the ways they can support your initiatives.
5. Dynamic Connections – Access new tools and partner connections that were previously only available within Tripkicks Insights Banner after travelers perform their search:
   • Event Intelligence: Help travelers explore local events at their destination, from concerts to sporting events, with insights powered by Occasion Genius.
   • CIBT Visa Connection: Allow travelers to check visa requirements by entering their destination and citizenship details directly from the homepage.
   • Airfare Intelligence: Provide a price trend graph for specific city pairs and dates, helping travelers choose the best time to book flights.
6. Minimize Leakage and Increase OBT Adoption – By empowering travelers to do more within Concur Travel, our new Anytime Banner helps reduce the likelihood of travelers leaving the platform to book with unauthorized tools. With all necessary tools, insights, and connections centralized on the homepage, travelers are more likely to stay within policy and use the approved booking tool. This ensures compliance, reduces leakage, and strengthens the overall travel program.
   
   These capabilities create a richer, more informed experience for travelers while addressing the unique priorities of your travel program.

Customization: A Standout Advantage

Unlike the standard “Company Notes” section available within most online booking tools, which is limited to static text and images with restrictions to style and user interaction, Tripkicks Anytime Banner offers unmatched customization and flexibility:

• Dynamic Design: The banner spans the full width of the homepage, with tiles that are responsive and adjust seamlessly in a masonry style. This ensures your content is visually appealing and never overwhelming.
• Corporate Branding: Travel managers can incorporate their organization’s identity, logos, colors, and icons to align the banner with the company’s style.
• Tailored Details and Guidance: Clicking a tile opens fully customizable popups, providing more detailed information without cluttering the homepage.
• Multiple Configurations: Use multiple banners for different purposes, or feature standalone tiles to prioritize critical messages.

The result? A visually engaging, interactive experience that resonates with travelers and reflects your company’s brand identity.

Seamless Deployment and Management

Adding Tripkicks Anytime Banner is as simple as it gets. Here’s how it works:

1. Content Planning: Work with your Tripkicks Client Success Manager to define your messaging, branding, and desired integrations.
2. Setup: Tripkicks puts it all together and then after your review we turn it on for your travelers, ensuring the banner is perfectly tailored to your needs.
3. Ongoing Updates: Need to make changes or add new content? Just send a request to your Client Success Manager, and we’ll take care of the rest.

This hands-off approach allows travel managers to focus on strategy while Tripkicks ensures flawless execution.
