Have your guests ever asked you about some nice furniture/homeware you have in your property?

Hi everyone - new here, but long-term guest and part-time host for a while now.
Cannot believe I did not find this treasure trove of insights before!
But I did now, so here is my question…

Have your guests ever asked you about where you bought a lovely piece of furniture, some special homeware or amenities? It has happened to me a couple of times, and I am thinking of creating an initiative that allows them to buy some of these things directly from the brands (me taking a commission from it). But without being too salesy of course!

I've seen a couple of hosts (and companies) doing this, and apparently they are doing quite well.
Selling your own things (if crafty - which is surely not me lol) seems like a no brainer, but I am wondering about other products.
Have you done this? Thought of doing it? What are your thoughts on it? 🙏🏽

Thanks in advance for the insight!

I really love seeing this trend of everyone wanting to help their local businesses @Sandra3910 !
It also shows that you know your stuff about your area, and guests see it as freebie, so I guess is a win win win.

I think that inspiration to guests means you have a unique experience for them! They would probably not be as inspired by just a plain look from Ikea. Thanks!

@Simona563 - I'd love to know if you've made any progress on this? I'm about to buy my first AirBnB and thinking of curating furniture, homewares and other items from brands who offer affiliate programs (like the very instagramable Gonzey pizza ovens - https://www.commissionfactory.com/advertiser-directory/gozney-affiliate-program/77519). but I wanted to know if you'd found or created an affiliate aggregator platform specific to this application or if I should just use Commission Factory?
