Competitor Context

• Traditional Designers:

  Provide custom looks but rarely optimize for STR durability or ROI, leading to higher costs without guaranteed performance.

  
  

• Somerled Designs:

  Offer STR-specific customization, but long timelines (10+ weeks) and steep costs ($30k–$50k+) make scaling slow.

  
  

• Funkit Interiors:

  Known for bold, photogenic aesthetics, but per-room pricing drives up cost and customization can get expensive.

  
  

• Bee Setups Advantage:

  Custom aesthetics without inflated design fees or slow delivery — most projects are completed in 3–6+ weeks, with designs balanced for ROI, guest experience, and durability.
