Full-service hotels should balance readers and sunglasses around destination and guest use rather than assume one category always leads. Urban and business-heavy hotels may see steadier reader demand, while outdoor and resort destinations may justify deeper sunglasses.
What favors readers
Business travel, conferences, dining, books, forms, and everyday replacement can create broad reader demand. Protect power breadth first.
What favors sunglasses
Warm climates, outdoor destinations, pool, golf, travel, and daytime guest activity can support greater sun depth.
How to decide the mix
- compare sales by category
- track reader-power gaps
- compare ordinary and peak occupancy
- measure seasonality
- use reorders to reset the ratio
Practical rule
Open with a balanced guest-essential offer unless the destination clearly points one way. Let the first few replenishment cycles make the final decision.
