In the hotel business, vanishing inventory can cost as much as $150,000 a year! It’s all about heads on beds; if your hotel is 70% occupied, you're losing 30% of your income potential, which can equal thousands of dollars per night, since your wholesale room cost is keeping the lights on and providing housekeeping services.
For example, take a 300-room hotel with a 20% average vacancy and a room rate of $150 per night. That’s $9,000 per day in unused room revenue. $270,000 per month! If those rooms were occupied, the cash cost of overhead and cleaning would be about 25% ($37.50 per room). Because they aren't occupied, the hotel is losing $112.50 in profit – per room, per day.
If your hotel bought the products and services you need by trading for the unused rooms, you could acquire $9,000 per day in products, services, and advertising for just $750.
Who doesn’t want to save cash? Who doesn’t want to purchase goods and services for cents on the dollar? If the outlay is your cost of goods or unused time and labor, but you're trading for full retail price, you're getting a tremendous bargain. Unsellable inventory or unbillable downtime (net losses) are converted into purchase power.
