Top Concierge Revenue Drivers

• In‑Room Wellness Rituals: High margin and repeatable; schedule as add‑ons at checkout.
• Pop‑Up Reservations: Sell spots to curated pop‑ups — revenue shares with vendors increase hotel margins with minimal CAPEX.
• Capsule Gift Bundles: Short‑run curated boxes sold as souvenirs or checkout upsells.

Operational Playbook

1. Create supplier SLAs for quick kit replenishment.
2. Standardize presentation — packaging and messaging matter for perceived value.
3. Use an e‑concierge workflow for pre‑arrival upsells and scheduled delivery.

Smart packaging and NFT‑enabled merch are interesting avenues for premium drops — see the smart packaging field review for creative ideas.
