Three Things to Consider Before you Host on BNB

Before we dive in and into some of the details, here are three major components to consider. Having a sense of these items will make your path to hosting a much smoother journey and enjoyable.

Business Plan & Interior Design

The first thing to do is to visit the project along with your marketing specialist and trusted interior decorator to come up with the best strategies to optimize the occupancy by rebuilding and rebranding. Your interior designer should be able to assess and make recommendations. On the other hand, the marketing specialist will be going to ask your monthly revenue goal as a basis for his calculations based on their research and statistics in the area.

After the site visitation, a business plan should be written containing the owner’s business goal, the methods on how these goals can be attained, marketing strategies, management, social entrepreneurship and the time frame in which the goal needs to be achieved. Your business plan shows how you will get from here to there.

Before a work task begins, the completed plan should be discussed with the unit owner or the owner’s representative(s). The interior designer will present their sketches of the optimized new room layout, color schemes, furniture layouts, etc. and affix their signatures on the contract and construction plans.

As the construction progresses, the interior designer along with the owner or owners’ representative is now busy shopping for the required furniture.
