Hospitality: How will this idea generate revenue?
JC
JC
Joshua Cerreta, Entrepreneur from birth; diverse global experience answered:

I think you'd have a good market if you started with hotels like Ace, etc. who want to be trendy and using local consumer brands.

There are probably several ways to monetize this.
1) Work with the hospitality companies to curate the brands that they want to represent their company. You can charge as a service provider for this.
2) Work with the consumer brands and push the products on hospitality spaces. You can charge as a marketing agency.
3) Both options above also leave room for you to monetize as an affiliate (take kick-backs for sales generated by your service). I think it was Ace that was also selling the products that they were using to guests. (ex. if you liked the soap, towels, robe, etc. you could buy them through the hotel.) You can an affiliate kick-back (probably shared with the hotel in this case) for every sale.

These are just a few thoughts, but there are a ton of possibilities and I'd have to know more details about what you are thinking to advise better.

Good Luck!
