Impressing Vacation Rental Guests with the Fragrance of Welcome
The vacation rental guest is a unique guest seeking privacy, space, and a kitchen. These are their initial motivations for choosing to book a vacation rental over hotels, resorts, or staying with friends and family.
To stop complaints before they start, it is critical to make your guest’s arrival a positive experience. Three fragrances to make a great first impression the second your guest enters your vacation home are as follows:
The Fragrance of Clean
What does your vacation rental smell like prior to your guests arrival? What does “clean” smell like? Does it smell of bleach, Pine Sol, or Murphy Soap? Some people are allergic to bleach, and Pine Sol can be overwhelming, while Murphy Soap has a bit of a chemical smell. These smells are preferable to the lingering smells of the prior guests-- whether they are cooking smells, lotions and potions, or unpleasant pet odors. Use an ionizer to kill strong lingering smells such as smoke (even though non-smoking); and use dryer (anti-static cling) sheets to neutralize orders in cloth furniture and drapes. The least offensive, most pleasant smell for cleaning floors is Red Fabuloso. It smells clean and fresh without a strong chemical smell, and emits a soft welcoming fragrance.
The Fragrance of Hospitality
Before your guests arrive, and after all the cleaning is done, spray rose water in every room. This is a light, fresh, floral smell that has a universal recognition, and is least offensive to everyone. Additionally, buy atomizers, or other air fresheners with a rose fragrance scent and freshen the air. Avoid plug-ins; they can be a fire hazard.
