Hotel innovation idea: why not let me choose my room furnishing style online? Give me a few to choose from:

  • Floral (pastels, bright, cheerful)
  • Club (wood paneling, maroon, rich colors)
  • Contemporary (glass and brushed steel)
  • Ecletic (messy hip-hop myspace look)

Since the online agents and traditional booking systems would take years to catch up, you’d drive interested customers to higher-margin bookings on your branded site.

And it’s the natural start of a PR and advertising campaign: all sorts of people would write about this in the travel section for free. 

Hoteliers, please send your idea commission checks to 2904 S Washington, Seattle :)
