3 Ways To Collect Emails for Direct Booking Marketing—

1️⃣ QR code sign with offer for guests:
Post this in your house, lead guests to drop their email into a Google form in exchange for a discount code they can use on their next direct booking. Make it EASY for guests to find your website when they’re in your home!

2️⃣ This is seriously a game changer for large properties. Any guest who logs into your WiFi drops their email. They get WiFi, you get emails. Win-win🤝

3️⃣ QR Clue is a creative way to collect emails. It’s an escape room game you set up in the house that allows you to grab emails of every guest that plays!🥳

And hey—if you need someone to build you that direct booking website, just holler ☺️ We’d love to help🤠

I’ve been waiting for the right corner for this idea 🤍

…and I found it!

We created a peaceful moment tucked in the living room at Country Roads Cottages righttt by the window with the ski slope scenery.

The home will remain stocked with an easel, paper, and painting supplies so guests can step away from the hubbub & paint the beautiful scene of the Massanutten mountains during their stay🎨

And of course they can take their painting home to be reminded of how much fun they had so they come back next year 😉

Amenities aren’t just about what looks the most flashy in your listing. More importantly, they’re about creating the best experience for your guests. And with a little creativity, that doesn’t always have to break the bank 🙌🏽

👉Also—this idea is from a list of 50 amenities we brainstormed & use to seed inspiration for our design projects. Comment AMENITY if you’d like the list!

A moment for the lifejackets ✨🛟💦🥳🤍

I never present a room I don’t love, but certain rooms just flow so easily it’s like they’re part of me or something (cheesy I know but at least I’m writing this without chat 😉) This was one of those rooms. And while it’s not in my own home, I wouldn’t be mad about securing some cutie life jackets…👀

Anybody with me?!😂
