Thinking about a Shopify store for your resort? Inntopia Digital can help.

For resorts, revenue can be tough to find right now. Occupancy is zero, lift tickets are no go, tee-times may be trickling in, the spa is closed, and so on.

But as travel has been shut down by COVID-19, online retail has been ramping up. Some top Shopify stores have seen record days and even on a large scale, promotional email volume has stayed level.

Considering selling merch?

Resorts have incredibly strong brands, so many are starting to entertain the idea of selling their stock of gift-shop and spa products online. This is allowing them increase retail shop sales of select items such as gear, apparel, and accessories even while the resort is closed. Crystal Mountain, for example, just launched a great-looking store.
