What Does Your Crockery Say About Your Listing?




If you are a self catered listing you will need to provide your guests with the necessary tools to cook, eat and drink with. Providing the right tools can improve the guest experience, and it is thinking about your listing in this detail that can make the difference between a good and great experience.

Some things to consider when selecting your crockery, mugs and serveware:

1) Aesthetics: Are the items in keeping with the listing & are they appealing? Sets that match often look better and giving a better finish than a mix of odd or worn items.

2) Function: Do they do the job they were intended to do? There is no point having the most beautiful mugs in the world if they are the size of an eggcup!

3) Range: What items do you need to provide guests? Here is a great place to go above and beyond for your guests giving a range so they can eat and drink whatever they desire on their holiday.

4) Number of items: If you have a listing that sleeps 16 make sure you have the correct amount of utensils and crockery for all guests.

Considering the above properly will ensure the self catered element of your guests stay is a positive experience and while some may consider it a minor detail, it is important for guests to enjoy all elements of their stay.

Make your checklist

A good idea when considering what items to have in your self catered listing is to make a checklist. There are many tools and resources online to help with this, and hosts in Airbnb forums have created extensive lists. Here are some items you may want to consider:

Plates 
Bowls 
Cups 
Glasses
Wine Glasses
Cutlery
Mugs
Servewear
Corkscrew
Pots
Pans
Spatula
Salad bowls
Chopping board
Chef knives
Cooking utensils

This is by no means an exhaustive list and you may want to add many more items and options for your guests to take advantage of during their stay.

To help Placer have partnered with Royal Doulton who have a brilliant range of these items your guests will love, along with an exclusive 40% discount in their online store.

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...
