Providing a premium service for guests takes a lot. Whether you’re a large-scale hotel, a small guesthouse or an Airbnb, there’s a lot you need to factor in to ensure a comfortable stay that leads to return visits, and very importantly, endorsement through reviews and word of mouth recommendations.
The accommodation you provide plays a big part in that, which is why it’s increasingly important to ensure what you offer is clean, comfortable and a premium service – and it’s not just about the bed your guests are going to be sleeping on. It’s the side table they’ll use, the lamp sitting on it, the handsoap you provide. Which means you’ll be juggling multiple wholesale suppliers and orders, and for small and medium businesses, a few headaches and hurdles thanks to the rigmarole involved with credit checks, tiresome paperwork processes and exorbitant extra fees.
Thankfully, new digital smart wholesale platform TradeSquare has arrived to not only make this process infinitely easier, but to save you money and the most precious commodity of all – your time.
Their goal? To give all businesses, big or small, access to a diverse range of wholesale products at competitive prices, all in one place that looks and feels just like a retail e-comm website.
