Today, we’d like to introduce you to Alana Holmes. Alana was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Kelvena Benson.
Alana, can you walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Luxurious Stays, LLC began when two like minded women collaborated to enter the hospitality field. We wanted to merge the amenities and luxurious feel of a five star hotel stay with the comforts of home. Therefore, our short term rental business began and we opened our first Airbnb location which we named Luxe Milwaukee.
Please tell us more about your brand, Luxurious Stay INT
Our company is a short term rental company that provides homes and spaces to vacationers, to remote workers oin town on assignment and families who are looking to relax, including their small pets. While our home is open to everyone, we pride ourselves on providing comfortable, safe spaces for women who just need a place to relax and unwind. We pride ourselves on our community partnerships, which are mostly comprised of women owned businesses. Our partnerships collaboratively promote the services and products available in our communities while also boosting pride and giving women the confidence that they need to continue to pursue their dreams. We are most proud of developing our community partnerships and helping others to thrive.
Kelvena Benson and KB Management Brand Operations, LLC have been great to us and I know you’ve got a great relationship with them as well. Maybe you can tell our audience a bit about Kelvena Benson and KB Management Brand Operations, LLC and your experience with them.
Kelvena and Alana reconnected while working together for a non-profit community based program, Dream Keepers, where Kelvena was working on branding and providing insight on the direction the company should go. Then later really working together as board members for another non-profit organization, R. Life which also provides community based assistance to the youth. Alana had the joy of experiencing Kelvena in her full element and glory when she hired KB Management as her Branding firm to develop Lanie R Holmes, the brand. While working together, Kelvena completed an amazing branding package in only two days and Alana loved it so much, Kelvena became her exclusive Brand Manager for her and her husband’s many other companies. Naturally when LS came into fruition, it was a no brainer that Kelvena would be the Brand Manager. She is so wonderful that often times, the two partners joke that she is the third, silent but not so silent partner. This made Alana Kelvena’s only VIP client. Kelvena is so through and in-tune with her clients’ needs that she is able to bring the clients ideas to life and mostly gets the vision right the first time. If the idea isn’t spot on, it has to only be fine tuned a little to really drive the vision home. Her communication and time management skills are impeccable. She is open and honest about her turn around time and gets you the mock ups usually far ahead of schedule. She is very passionate and loves what she does. Her passion and pride shines through in her work. She shares in the excitement when she delivers the client’s vision to them in the way that they imagined. Any brand should be honored to have Kelvena onboard as their Brand Manager if they value consistency, ingenuity and high quality for their brand.
