Make Guests Life Easier With Scan To Connect WiFi QR Codes



We find ourselves in the middle, or hopefully towards the end of, a pandemic that nobody saw coming. While the impact on our society has undoubtedly been far reaching and dreadful for many, it has given rise to changes in behaviour that will likely endure, at least for several years to come.


One big change most relevant to hosts is the rise of the staycation. Usually the percentage of guests staying in holiday lets in their own country is around 40%, with the advent of COVID this leapt to over 80% in 2020.

Another major change was the rise of the QR code. With many governments across the world adopting track and trace systems that required citizens to scan a QR code on entry to public locations such as bars, cafes or restaurants.

People now more than ever are familiar with QR codes and how to use them. The big tech companies have even made it easier to access the scanning technology by integrating it into their smartphone cameras.

Why not leverage this behaviour to make your guests stay that little bit easier? After all every little helps, and there is nothing more frustrating for guests than desperately entering long usernames and passwords just to connect to a new WiFi they will only be using for a couple of days on average!

A simple QR code, well placed near the entrance to your holiday let, will make connecting to the WiFi a simple, seamless experience for your guests.

Why not combine that with a second code they can scan to get information about their stay?

Placer can help here. We have partnered with gotwifi.art to create a new QR code experience for your guests. We have developed a well designed and sleek looking wooden easel that will go great in the entrance to any listing. 

We are offering it free to a limited number of hosts and then at a discount to gotwifi.art's usual price through an exclusive offer.

All you need to do is make sure you have created a welcome page with all the information guests will need for their stay, then input your WiFi credentials along with the link to your welcome page when ordering (you can easily copy the url using the Placer 'copy link' feature).

You can find out more on https://www.placer-it.com

For more happy guests!

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...
