Problem:

Did you know that hotel room prices are artificially inflated by 15-30%? The key problems SparrowBid is trying to solve are as follows:

• Exorbitant OTA Markups: Imagine a world where travel is not burdened by the staggering 15-30% markups imposed by OTAs. These markups inflate hotel prices far beyond what hotels intend to charge, hitting the wallets of every traveler hard. SparrowBid is on a mission to dismantle this barrier, making travel accessible and affordable for all.
• Rate Parity Agreements: The restrictive rate parity agreements, which handcuff hotels to uniform pricing across platforms, stifle competition and innovation. SparrowBid's groundbreaking approach liberates hotels from these constraints, enabling them to offer genuine, competitive rates directly to consumers.
• Opaque Pricing: The enigmatic pricing models in the travel industry are a maze of confusion for consumers. SparrowBid is here to demolish this maze, bringing clarity and transparency to hotel pricing, ensuring travelers know they are getting the absolute best value for their money.
• Tough Economic Times: With the current economic challenges, travel shouldn't be a luxury reserved for a few. SparrowBid is the champion for the budget-conscious, the everyday traveler, and the adventure-seekers of Generation Z.

For example, If a hotel room offers a rate of $100 a night for a hotel room. A competitor OTA will automatically take that hotel room and put it on their website for ~$130. At SparrowBid, what we do is put a 1% markup to protect against price fluctuations and post the hotel room on our site for $101. The even more fun part is that we are selling this hotel room in a competitive 24-hour auction. The bids might go 102…103…106…107…110, and BAM and auction ends. The highest bidder wins and gets an exceptional deal on their room.
