First impulse when you are thinking on starting a glamping business is to choose a tent design you like either becuase you have seen it in some glamping resort you stayed or because you have seen in a glamping magazine or in a website and it looks nice to you. Then you start to imagine how your future glampsite would look like; then you begin to look for suppliers, usually most popular ones and they easily convince you to save money and reduce the investment amount you are willing to spend, in order to make your business as much profitable as you can. But is this the right approach?
When you are planning to start a glamping business, to extend your current glampsite or to susbtitute your current not very comfortable glamping tents, you should consider something easy to say but difficult to reach, to have the customer needs on mind. What does a client need? first of all you cannot speak about luxury glamping if your tent present leakages when the rain falls, or if the tent is surrounded by dangerous obstacles as the guy-lines many tent have are. Also the tent should be protected against annoying visitors like insects or bugs with with mosquito nets in the holes and with a groundsheet that seals the inner room at bottom of the tent.
A client that is going to spend some holidays in a glamping tent would like to have an inner temperature smoother than outdoors, either in summer or in winter, something that is not really possible if the tent has not the right isolation system, of course the client would like to enjoy all that being able to stay upright inside the tent.
Remember “customer first”, think on customer and select a tent model that include all these features to ensure the users’ comfort. To invest the right money in customer satisfaction always pays off.
