Destination Relaxation
Schreiber said Latico’s weekenders and carry-on bags are its two strongest categories. “[Using these items], we are able to differentiate ourselves via a combination of visual appeal, functionality, quality materials and workmanship, and high-perceived value,” he said.
When asked how distributors can sell travel, hotel and resort items more effectively, Siegel said the category offers many unique opportunities for those that are forward-thinking. “While [the items] make desirable pillow or lobby gifts at a hotel, I have also seen these products distributed with gift cards inviting recipients to an event,” he said. “Robe, towel, slipper and spa accessory gift sets are used as ‘thank you’ gifts for referrals, holiday gifts or recognition. It’s great that distributors think outside the box and recognize hotel and travel items have appeal on the home front as well as at a resort.”
