Struggling with your Minoan Showroom setup? Many hosts aim for perfection – but the best Showrooms aren’t about that. They’re about highlighting what makes your property unique. This guide breaks it down into three simple steps, so you can create a polished, shoppable space in under an hour, without requiring an overwhelming amount of effort. Let’s break it down.
Need inspiration? The Minoan Showroom Gallery features top Showrooms from hosts and hospitality pros, giving you real-world examples of what works while sparking ideas for your own.
Step 1: Gather your materials
Before diving in, set yourself up for success by collecting everything you need. This will make the process faster and smoother.
- Property images
- Use high-quality images from your booking site. You’ll need one cover photo and at least one image per featured space/room.
- List of spaces to feature
- Start with at least three spaces that best showcase your property, like the living room, bedroom, or patio. You can always add more later.
- Links to items in your spaces
- Pick at least five items per space. Your Minoan purchases will be preloaded for you, and you can add items from other retailers during setup.
- Brand logo (optional)
- This adds a polished, professional touch to your Showroom.
With everything in one place, setting up your Showroom will feel effortless.
Step 2: Highlight what guests love
Your space already impresses guests – now let them shop it. The easiest way to choose products is by focusing on three key categories:
Unique pieces
Think about those one-of-a-kind décor items that define your space. Guests often ask where you found that perfect vase, quirky chair, or eye-catching art. These are the items that make your Showroom feel curated and personal.
Local finds
People travel to connect with a place, so let them take home a piece of it. Feature products from local artisans, makers, and brands that reflect your area’s character.
Guest favorites
Some items naturally stand out – whether it’s an ultra-soft throw blanket, an espresso machine, or luxury bath products. If guests rave about it, feature it, and turn that praise into revenue.
Adding items from these three categories ensures your Showroom feels thoughtful, personal, and inviting.
Step 3: Make it discoverable
Once you’ve set up your Showroom, the next step is to make sure guests can easily find and shop them. Make your Minoan Showroom an effortless part of the guest experience by introducing it before, during, and after their stay. From pre-arrival messages to in-room QR codes and post-stay follow-ups, this guide shows you how to turn curiosity into engagement, and engagement into sales.
These small touchpoints make your Showroom a natural extension of their stay, rather than an afterthought.
The best Showrooms reflect the unique space, style, and community. The beauty of a Minoan Showroom is its ability to evolve as you do. Start with a few key items that resonate, and then let your Showroom grow over time. In under an hour, you can create a shoppable Showroom that feels right for you and your property. And with the Showroom Gallery to inspire you, you’ll have plenty of examples to feel confident in creating a polished, engaging, and revenue-generating space.
