Why Your Interior Design Needs To Be Top



Great design is everywhere... 

Our tech devices are beautifully designed from the packaging (a good unboxing is a must nowadays, ideally on YouTube) to the apps. The design of social media platforms compels us to procrastinate. An arm chairs depth invites us to sit back and read our favourite book for hours on end.

The importance of great design is clear and nowhere more so than in the holiday rental market. The best looking and designed listings win the most bookings, every time.

This is because beautiful design is sensually rewarding, it allows us to fantasise of amazing futures, maybe amazing holidays! Good design is no longer the sole property of the wealthy elite, anyone can achieve it and most customers (guests) demand it.

Of course most hosts know this, realising in order to succeed in an increasingly competitive environment (there are now well over 2 million Airbnb listings worldwide), they must deliver great value for money yet well designed and beautiful to be in spaces. 

Guests are becoming more and more design savvy, driven in part by social media. Not only do they want getaways to be easier, but they want them to be 'Instagrammable'. They have come to expect it. They feel they deserve it. After all, holidays are precious and people want the best, not the average.

All the promotion in the world won’t make a poorly designed and furnished Airbnb appealing. It’s only going to book when guests don’t have better options.

The popularity of beautifully designed and furnished holiday lets is growing massively. Guests consider the most important element of making a vacation luxurious the accommodation and hosts should try their best to meet their end of the deal here...

So make sure your listing design is top!

Mediocre holiday lets are all over the internet. Don’t waste your or your guests time listing them. There are already so many out there.

All guests from all walks of life and social class want beautiful accommodation in which to spend their hard earned holiday time and if given the choice they will pick the best looking listing every time.

Don't forget Placer is here to help. 

Leverage our host offers to get the best furniture for your listing. Remember brands want to work with the top listings for product placement so make sure you have a good base they will want to build on and you will stand more chance of selection for placement campaigns.

How To Keep Your Listing Smelling Fresh

Image
There is nothing worse than a smelly short stay property from a guest point of view, bad odour can ruin any holiday!  Smells such as cooking from previous guests, damp, unpleasant bathroom odours and others can really turn guests off and impact your reviews. In the quest to keep a listing smelling great for guests, some on the internet are suggesting hosts bake fresh bread before each guest arrives.  While this would undoubtedly work, it is surely not a scalable solution, what about hosts with multiple properties? Do they have to run from property to property or pay cleaning staff to bake bread!?! So how can hosts keep their properties smelling fresh and ready for guests to enjoy their stay? While scented candles may seem like a good option, they come with the added fire risk, which is not desirable.   A great alternative is reed diffusers.  Reed diffusers have no fire risk, and can really freshen up a listings smell for guests to enjoy. There are many brands and opt...

What Is A Placement Campaign?

Image
Placer is a site where short stay hosts can get free and discounted products from all manner of brands: large, growing, international and local. Brands want to reach guests in beautiful environments and so are willing to discount their products or even provide them for free.  So how does this work on Placer? Offers are where a brand offers a discount to hosts on their products, usually through a code obtained through the Placer website. Discounts range from 15% - 40% currently but more brands will be adding more discounts in the coming months that may be even more significant. Placement campaigns are where products are usually offered for free or at an even deeper discount than offers. Placement campaigns usually (but not always) involve the placement of a QR code alongside the product and the products will appear on the hosts welcome page. For some placement campaigns hosts can earn commission when a guest purchases through their QR or welcome page. This is usually a % of the tota...
