Your QR code is generated. Now you just have to stick it in your welcome pack where the guest can scan it and save the address on his\/her phone. No more \u201c oh shoot what was that great restaurant called in the welcome pack?<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another alternative is to use Touch Stay<\/a> that promises to turn your PDFs and other materials into a beautiful digital pack. So without further ado, let\u2019s look at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIGITAL WELCOME PACK IDEAS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you considered making an app for your rental? Did you consider it long enough or did you drop that idea pretty quickly?<\/em>
\"?\" Having said if you own a building with apartments, an app could be a good investment. If you have the patience there are plenty of do-it-yourself-app-builders<\/strong> these days worth looking into. Or maybe you\u2019re planning to put all the great lists above onto a website\u2026 a rather time consuming duplication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thought of a simpler and very fancy alternative of sharing great local tips its with your guests<\/strong>, plus it gives you opportunities to be found on social networks: Pinterest boards<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"pinterest<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why not every time you come across a place you like, bookmark it in your board. It stays interactive and easy to update.<\/strong> You could create boards on the immediate vicinity or per area of your city\u2026 You could compile a board with local recipes, the best markets, the best coffee shops, or the names of the lists we suggest above\u2026 The welcome pack ideas on pinterest are endless. Print a few screenshots out and place them in the rental to encourage people to check your boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allergic to Pinterest or social networks in general? <\/em>There\u2019s a company called Sydewalk<\/a> that allows you to the above without the social-network-stigma attached to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
