Marketplace Ideas
Tips to help make your Marketplace a Success!
Art & Collectables
Art on the walls and collectables on your shelves can easily grab a guest’s attention. Having a variety of items that can be easily taken home is a great idea to add to your marketplace.
Food & Beverages
Everyone loves a snack! Stock up your fridge and kitchen with snacks that your guests will turn to when they get that craving. Food and beverages are a sure way to make extra income every time your rental is booked.
Essential Items
Guests tend to forget important items when packing for trips. Providing essential and useful items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant and shower gel is a great way to accommodate your guests.
Souvenirs
Guests love taking home a piece of their vacation. Offering your guests souvenirs from your location is a great way to earn extra income.
