They gear themselves specifically round hotels owners and their requirements which means they can offer better rates through loyalty. Another way to get some discount on your hotel supplies is to buy in bulk. Many sites offer discounts when you purchase larger volumes of items.

Another route you could go down is buying direct from factories. This often gets you cheaper prices as you are not given the retail price but the manufacturing one instead. Overseas companies will often offer you products in bulk at cost price too. By shopping in this way you could save up to 50% on what you normally pay.
