Hi Mike,
Thanks for your interest to inquire about the program details. The exact products that will be offered have not yet been finalized as we are in the early stage of building this pilot program.
We will determine products based on survey's and inputs from the following sources:
-We have a guest survey (400+ respondents) that has been run which ID's the most important product categories. This will be a huge factor in choosing the initial set of products we will send to hosts for the pilot program.
-We are still in conversations with our eCommerce partners to get their input on products they think will be a good fit.
-Our host survey asks about product categories which will give us an idea about product categories that are most interesting to hosts
All of that said, we will make sure that we are providing at least a few options for products to hosts participating in the program. We want to be sure we are adding value and enhancing the guest experience (so providing product upgrades to host's properties).
For the initial pilot program, products will come from the large eCommerce stores (Amazon, Overstock, Walmart, etc...).
From our side there is no obligation even if you sign up. We don't want to give out products that won't drive value for hosts who have chosen to participate.
Hope this helps, and thanks again for your question.
