Please watch our Explainer Video for more information.  We wanted to make it an easy explanation for all!  We felt it needed a good thorough explanation, so everyone could understand what we are trying to implement over the course of the next 90 days.

ORION Travel Technologies, Inc. Crowdfunding Event

Kickoff September 21st, 2015

Why Orion?

Orion Luggage is the first luggage company that gives back to it's customers by offering them free roundtrip baggage fees while traveling on Commercial Airlines. Orion pays your roundtrip Baggage fees by becoming the world's first traveling billboard trolley with a front advertising wrap and a back wrap with a personalized touch for every traveler.

Orion allows customers to personalize their own luggage with a graphic that they choose from a number of on-going promotional campaigns throughout the year.

The Orion Luggage Billboard not only travels through Airport terminals, TSA lines, Ticketing and baggage carousels, but also travels via train, bus, cruise line and where customers choose to travel with their own 4 wheel vehicle.

All this being made possible by international, domestic and regional advertisers, promoters, sponsors and marketers.  Orion's free luggage two piece set consists of a 21-inch hard-shell carry-on, 4 wheel trolley and a 29-inch hard-shell, 4 wheel trolley. Each set comes with a 2 year warranty. And the Graphics are set into the mold of the plastic and is there for life and is not a stick-on advertising wrap that you see on a bus or car.

Advertisers can wrap up to 1 million or more luggage sets that produce a huge amounts of impressions within a 4-6 week promotional campaign. Campaign sizes are 10K to 1 Million or more. Promotional Campaigns are also geared to trains, cruise ships, buses, ferries, cars and trucks. Essentially whatever form of transportation you travel on, the Orion Mobile Luggage Billboard goes with you.

On-one-side of the Orion Trolley is printed in 3D graphics by a participating Advertiser who could be an Airline, Car Rental company, an Presidential Campaign, A new Fall TV Show, a Hotel Chain, an Online Travel Company, a Cruise Line, a Resort, Military Recruiting, a Mobile Carrier, a large On-Line retail chain, or even famous Amusement Parks. Essentially it's a NASCAR hood that can travel the world in a day!  On-the-other-side of the luggage there are brands that want to promote to their customers or win new ones. A whole new way to personalize, again paid for by participating vendors.  

"With the invention of hard-shell luggage, it has made it possible to approach advertisers, promoters and marketers with a whole new set of eyes combined with personalization. What's unique about this luggage, it literally can go worldwide in a day! So our participating partners on every program really go the extra mile to produce some awesome graphics for our customer’s tastes. They are making it cool and a must have at the same time!

Orion TT did a study and it revealed that travelers spend a lot of time in airports, their plane is delayed or canceled sometimes for days based on weather.  Most travelers love a set of luggage that they distinguish at the baggage carousel and most customers love to customize their luggage in the same way they do their own phones and mobile devices. It's a win-win for the airlines, the travelers and the marketers. This program is so simple that it makes good sense and it builds customer loyalty all over the world.  

How Do We Make Money?

Orion Travel Technologies main objective is to become a one-stop-shop for travel.  We want to go back-to-the-future where the customer was king, where there were one-on-one relationships with a knowledgeable travel agents and most of all the customer was always right!  With the event of on-line booking this long lost art of trust, wisdom and knowledge was almost lost. Travelers without that client relationship are literally “zombies on a plane”.  

Sure they get the cheap price, but now with that cheap fare you have to deal with long layovers between flights, missing connections because not enough time to deplane and get the connecting gates, getting to your final destinations at midnight or after, coming in at odd hours where there are long lines at customs, and airlines charging for baggage.  Because the way the travel industry is today gives Orion an opportunity to showcase what we believe is the future for the travel and hospitality industry.  

Everyone believes that the one-on-one relationship with a travel agent is dead, but on the contrary; Orion Travel Technologies will be bringing the experience back from the grave and making travel fun, in- expensive, non-worrisome, non-anxious and most of all give the world a trustful, live, knowledgeable, respected place they can go and depend on for all their travel needs.

From Technology to booking, to being safe in a foreign country without worry. Orion will be there taking care of you! From meeting other people from around the world who have the same interests and values. We build our own membership ergonomically into our travel enterprise by implementing a very unique form of marketing program and creating a new high in customer loyalty! By building our membership to huge numbers we can now offer our entire customer base a one-stop-shop for travel.

How does Orion do this?

Let us show you how!

ORION TRAVEL TECHNOLOGIES GIVES AWAY $300 LUGGAGE SETS AND PAYS YOUR LUGGAGE FEES!

HOW DO WE DO THIS?

BY BECOMING THE 1ST MOBILE LUGGAGE BILLBOARD THAT CAN TRAVEL THE WORLD IN ONE DAY!

Orion is stepping away from traditional marketing thinking and has begun thinking outside- the-box by coming up with a unique form of advertising proponent that creates a whole new marketing model.

Instead of ARPU, CPM, CPI, SRDS, Time based Pricing methods, Price per Page, PPM, PPCT and Social Media Models we are defining a new age in Advertising pricing.  

The front and the back of the Hard-shell case times a two (2 piece luggage set).  It's a mobile Billboard on 4 wheels traveling, stopping in long lines, going into overhead bins and into the cargo holds of planes, ships, buses, and on trains.  

Advertisers, marketers and promoters pay premiums to capture a traveler. 1st of all there are over 1.3 billion people traveling on airplanes per year worldwide.  There are another 2 billion who travel via trains and on bus.  38 million travel on a cruise ship via an airplane. Then there are over 2 billion per year who travel in their own 4 wheel vehicle.   

Over $15 billion is spent worldwide trying to sell their products to these travelers, not to mention that the travel industry on a worldwide basis is a $60 billion dollar business as well.   That does not include the money that is spent on purchasing cars and trucks to get passengers from point a-to-b!

Orion is first to market, has filed for a provisional patent status both domestically and in 5 countries worldwide.

On the advertising side (Front) view there be 5 total advertisers or just one. Ideally, 1 major and 4 smaller partners-much like a NASCAR hood with participating sponsors.  

We call this ARPU (Average Revenue per User or unit)-The Telecom Industry now calls it ARPA (Average Revenue per Acquisition or account). In other words defined as the total revenue divided by the number of subscribers or members. Most mobile carriers use this methodology in attracting and keeping a customer for a period of 1-2 years.  On average ARPU to keep a customer is usually $500 to as high as $750.00.   It costs marketers and promoters a very low dollar figure to get involved with an Orion Campaign.   

What makes our advertising programs different?

Why?

Because there is no other program in the advertising industry like this program

We call it (OCI) Our Customer Experience and (ARPO), average revenue per owner.

Orion in a day…

Orion’s Secrets Revealed

How do we make money?  Advertisers, marketers and promoters pay for the luggage fees by placing their brands on one side of the Orion Mobile luggage Billboard.   Customers pay for the shipping from there.  Usually $25 for shipping and handling.   

Here is where Orion makes money.  By a controlled environment. When customers get their luggage delivered to their door. They unzip the luggage and find their luggage full of great gifts paid for by huge marketers across the globe who wish to grab their attention in their own home and sell to them with a soft sell.  We call this Product Placement. They place the product in the bag and pay us the PP fee!  This is how Orion makes money after we give the luggage away and pay for roundtrip baggage fees.  

So, if we have a 1 million luggage set campaign with lets say the US ARMY Recruiting for example and with Warner Brother's Batman vs. Superman for example that could add up to be a great campaign for ORION, for our customers and for our partners.  These are just examples for an easy way to explain our program.

Where luggage is seen:  Departing

• Out of trunk - outside airline ticketing at Departure curb
• Inside at airline ticketing Kiosk and Cargo Baggage Carousel where your bags get weighed by ticketing agent
• On the way to TSA
• TSA Line average wait time is $30 - 1 hour
• On the way to transit system
• Concessions (star Bucks) Restaurant or storefront as well as restrooms
• Then to terminal
• Then to ticket at airline departure gate
• Then in the line to be seated and into the overhead bin near your seat

Where luggage is seen:  Connection Flight

• De-boarding
• Arrival Gate
• On the way to the restroom
• On the way to concessions
• On the way to connection flight terminal
• On the way to connection Gate

• Going to the restroom
• Going to the baggage claim area
• Retrieving the baggage
• Going to Rental car bus
• Going to retrieve car

• To your room

Return Flight…Do it all over again!

The Personalization Side

On the personalization side Sponsors pay for one large wrap! But its not a wrap what comes first is a design that is molded into the plastic and is there for life. We then send out easy to place on wraps that can be done by a five year old for other campaigns that are run throughout the course of the year.

Also during the year Orion Customers can choose up to 5 more programs to get involved with. Orion sends out the skins per campaign via mail 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the campaign.

Customers also receive a credit card (Membership card) complete with strip. This card is used at the airlines ticketing area to pay for baggage fees going out and coming back to their original destination.

Impressions per day traveling average 3 hours - 24 hours a huge number of fixed eyeballs on the product because of uniqueness.  Luggage becomes Conversation Piece at each interval to your destination.

200 - 12,000 Miles in a 24 hour period

Risks and Challenges

We have several challenges to face being the first to giveaway luggage and to pay for baggage fees-finding the inventory to do so and finding the manufactures to do so.  Our plans are to rollout with 40-50 campaigns per year. If we rollout with 2 it will be a huge success.

There are literally 500 or so partners who have expressed interest in this revolution.   So we are confident that it could be a great way to reach their audiences.  

But a economical crisis could occur or a world wide gas crunch or something Mother Nature could do somewhere around the world that could be a hindrance in the success of Orion.  We just don't know but we are prepared for anything.

2nd Phase January 2016 - Our Technology Side

During the second phase in January 2016 Orion will be selling upgraded technology to customers who wish to purchase luggage through our ORION on-line storefront at AMAZON.  Customers will  have the opportunity to place within their luggage a GPS tracking device that lets customers know where their baggage is at any given moment of their travel log and essentially lets them know through travel alerts on their phone.  

Currently we are in the process to create both an IOS and Android phone app that will pinpoint where each set of luggage is. Whether it is lost or placed on a different plane or where it in the process of going to the baggage claim area and lastly on which baggage carousel.  Also, Orion offers an onboard alert system that contacts owners via our phone app when their luggage has been opened and tampered with. Orion TT is also working on a onboard system that weighs luggage so customers can know the exact weight before presenting the luggage to a ticketing agent at the airport.  It is also working on implementing a onboard charging station for all your devices.
