short term rental host
Are you a short term rental host?
PopStore has the perfect solution for you.
Find out how you can create a tailored guest experience and generate a new form of revenue.
Tourism activity in Portugal has been booming consistently in the past years. With the consolidation of this sector, we also see a significant increase in short term rentals, which represent today about 360,000 properties in Lisbon alone (read here).
In a market that’s increasingly competitive, the difficulty for many hosts lies in making their properties stand out. We know that the location of the property, its access to transportation, price point, reviews, amongst other factors, are relevant in the guest’s decision-making process. However, they also attribute great value to a tailor-made service offering that provides a unique and cultural experience, which is often what tourists are looking for when staying at a local accommodation.
But how can you customize the service for your guests, without spending excessive resources? PopStore has the perfect solution for you. With this web order system, you’ll be able to create custom-made welcome baskets filled with regional products and adapted to your guests’ tastes.
It’s easy! Just follow the steps:
- Create a list of products and their prices in a spreadsheet, copy and paste the list onto PopStore which will automatically generate a web order system. Provide an authentic and traditional experience by choosing products from the neighborhood grocery store, the market closest to the property, the local bakery, etc. Not only will you be offering guests an opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in the culture, but this is also a way of valuing the territory, creating proximity with and supporting the local community.
- Share your PopStore link with your future guests so that they can select the products according to their preferences. This way, you’ll be answering to the specific tastes and needs of each guest, instead of offering a generic basket that may not suit everyone’s taste.
- Drop off the basket at the property ahead of the guests arrival to surprise them with the best products from the neighborhood! Introduce them to the local culture and add useful information about the origin of each product.
With PopStore, customizing your guests’ stay is now quick, simple and effective.
