LSI has a number of tools that can be used beyond their traditional and intended purposes, and our clients always amaze us with the ingenious new ways that they put our tools to use.
As a result of this inspired ingenuity, we’ll shine a spotlight on one of our most popular tools every month, and share a few tips and tricks for making each individual tool work best for you.
Meet the Survey Tool
The Survey Tool is traditionally used alongside ResMail Pro, and its primary purpose is to allow your guests to provide detailed feedback on their vacation experience. Completely customized for each guest and property, thanks to a number of “lookup fields” that pull your property management software (PMS) data, this tool allows you to garner feedback, review results, and share surveys at your discretion with your owners.
What else can the Survey Tool do?
In addition to its standard use as a guest feedback tool, however, the Survey Tool can be used for a number of other tasks, thanks to its ability to be completely customized. Because YOU decide what questions and fields to include, the Survey Tool can do a lot more than just generate valuable data on your guests’ vacation rental experience.
- Management – When it comes time to recruit new homes, or set rates for the next year, do you know which attributes your guests adore, and which amenities they can live without? With the Survey Tool, you can create detailed forms that ask preferences about location, amenities, and more, allowing you to learn more about your potential client base.
- Marketing – Have a special promotion to coincide with a lightly booked week, or have a marketing initiative where you need a way to obtain data from potential or current guests? Use the Survey Tool to create your detailed forms, and obtain info for mailing lists and more.
- Past, present, and future guests – Reach out to your past guests, future guests, or even guests currently staying with you to obtain a wide variety of info. Whether you want future guests to sign up for an early reservation request on a home, or ask your present guests if they would like real estate sales information, there’s a lot the Survey Tool can do.
