Welcome to the QR Clue Blog: Navigating the World of Vacation Rental Hosting
Jason & Rachel at Lake Michigan in Grand Haven, MI
Hi vacation rental hosts and welcome to the very first QR Clue blog post! Whether you're a seasoned Airbnb, STR (short term rental) or VRBO (vacation rental by owner) host, you're in the right place. At QR Clue, we understand the everyday struggles and wins you experience as a host, and our mission is to provide you with the tools and insights you need to thrive in this dynamic industry.
Who we are
QR Clue was created and founded by Jason Anderson and me, Rachel DeSantis, by combining 12 years of real estate, property management, learning and development, and tech experience. Our team consists of passionate people with a deep understanding of the vacation rental market and a shared commitment to helping hosts like you overcome challenges to achieve your goals. From boosting bookings to maximizing revenue potential, we're here to support you.
What we offer
So, what exactly is QR Clue all about? We provide hosts an immersive, escape-room style experience to offer their guests to elevate their stay. Our experience kit is made up of everyday items that contain hidden QR codes (these are lovingly referred to as QR clues) which are strategically placed throughout your property. These clues are scanned using any smartphone and guide your guests through an engaging storyline, complete with puzzles, clues, and a final reveal that leaves them talking long after their stay. In a nutshell, we transform ordinary stays into unforgettable adventures! QR Clue provides hosts with a powerful tool to attract more guests and enhance guest satisfaction. But our offerings extend far beyond mere entertainment – we're dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions to the common struggles faced by vacation rental hosts.
