Very interesting…so a delivery system that gets supplies inti Airbnb when hosts are remote. I think you’re definitely on to something with that.
I’ve found the same thing. And more and more amazon reviews are fake these days I just don’t trust amazon as much when it comes to trying new products. Also there are almost too many options. When it comes to new hosts, I think it would help them to have a condensed selection I think. Maybe a brand created by Airbnb hosts like us would be more trustworthy for quality since we know the quality threshold.
Well assuming I can figure the $$ out… would you shop at an online store that has all the airbnb supplies you get in one place for competitive prices?
Kona I promise I’m an Airbnb host. I don’t even have a store yet I’m just feeling things out. I know all about wedding parties ruining towels with make-up, one-day turnarounds, broken wall decorations…oh and the crazy guest that stayed for a month and somehow got spaghetti sauce on the ceiling…I’m a real host and have been for two years in Austin Texas. Is it that far fetched to want an easy online store to cater specifically to me? A store that gets everything I buy anyway and condenses it in one place? My vision is to make it easy for new hosts to get set up and easy/cost effective for older hosts to keep things going smoothly.
A thick skin is always needed when considering a new invention or business.
A local story in Winston-Salem, NC is Mr. R. J. Reynolds approached Mr. Nissen, owner of the Nissen wagon works (Southern version of the Conastoga) and asked if he would be interested in helping to fund a company that made rolled cigarettes. Mr. Nissen declined meaning Mr. Reynolds didn’t get the funding he needed (at that time).
Mr. Nissen felt there would never be a demand for rolled cigarettes, people could roll their own. While times have changed, in the 50’s & 60’s practically EVERYONE smoked. Wagons became almost extinct and cigarette companies made a fortune.
Hey-nothing ventured, nothing gained. Unfortunately, not all ideas are “good ideas” but some are! Being an entrepreneur is not easy. You will figure out what you should do.

That may be true that you are a host, but your post was not about hosting. It was about a commercial venture, even one you are thinking about and that is not allowed here. Please review the forum guidelines before posting again. Thank you.
