Remembering
Your Maintenance Staff
by Robin
Fowler
When the holidays
roll around, you no doubt try to remember all of the
people in your life, and show them some token of your
love and appreciation. If you are a vacation rental
owner, this consideration should extend to those that
help keep your property clean and in good working order:
your cleaning person and regular maintenance
professionals. These individuals, after all, play a
major role in making your vacation rental business a
success!
Your cleaning person can be one of the most important
allies you have in your vacation rental business. He or
she is the eyes and ears of your property and the
physical presence in your absence. And after working so
hard all year to keep your rental property clean and
well-stocked, as well as making sure any repairs or
service that need to be performed are reported and
handled in a timely manner, it is very important to
remember him or her at this time of year. Plus, if you
have regular maintenance people that make repairs around
your place for you, you should definitely remember them
as well!
When it comes to remembering your cleaning and
maintenance people at the holidays, small gestures can
be very big. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money to
show that you care and appreciate what they do for you.
Gift cards or cash gifts are always nice. Or, you can
have small gift baskets sent to them, or even left at
the property for the cleaning person to find. A gift
basket can include goodies like chocolates, candies, and
cookies. You can also include lotions, flowers, or other
small, personalized gifts for your cleaning or
maintenance person. If you are too far away to deliver
it yourself, call a local florist or gift shop to have
one delivered directly to your property or to the
person’s home. This gesture will be greatly appreciated! |
