What Hospitality Products Should I Purchase First?

It’s one of the most common questions asked by potential customers: “We’ve just bought a new property. What hospitality products should we purchase first?”

Unfortunately, there’s no single correct answer to this question. In fact, InnStyle has questions of their own: How many rooms does your property have? Are you buying a property that was already in use, or building something new? Are you turning your home into a bed & breakfast? Or a country inn, where you’ll be serving breakfast and dinner?

By asking these questions, staff can gather the information they need to advise customers about the right hospitality products for their property.

Helping Customers Choose the Best Products

At InnStyle, the staff live by a simple rule:

Treat their customers – whether they own hotels, beds and breakfasts, vacation rental properties, or other commercial entities– as well as they would treat their guests.

When they speak to their customers in person, over the phone or via e-mail, they want to be certain the clients know how much InnStyle values their business.

That’s why InnStyle’s excited to be heading to the annual AIHP conference at the end of January. Going to a conference is always an exciting time, as it gives them the opportunity to reconnect with long-time clients and meet future customers.

They find that their customers appreciate the time allowed to visit their booth, see what products they’re offering, and learn the benefits each one brings. Whether it’s getting the feel of a towel or laying on a mattress, InnStyle’s happy to let potential customers experience their products, and are always ready to answer customer questions.

Innkeepers: Offer Guests a Gift Shop for the Holidays

For some people, one of the most memorable parts of a trip – whether that’s at a hotel, bed and breakfast, or vacation rental property – is the room where they stayed.

And many innkeepers are taking advantage of this idea – and thus creating more revenue – by essentially setting up a gift shop. But rather than selling, say, t-shirts and postcards, these gift shops allow guests to purchase the sheets, towels, robes and other amenities they enjoyed during their stay.

If this sounds familiar, it is. It’s a topic we addressed earlier this year. But with December – and the gift giving season – just around the corner, we thought we’d bring up this idea of a gift shop again.
