Short-Term Rental Hosts: Your Lost & Found Headaches Are Over :-)

As a short-term rental (STR) host, ensuring that every guest leaves with a positive experience is a top priority. However, there’s one aspect of managing a STR that bogs down a manager: the management of found items and the tedious tasks involved in returning that item back to the guest. 

Petar Ordrovic, founder of Yada.ai, the fast-growing customer support automation platform that’s partnered with many STR hosts, mentioned that their first-party data shows that 20% of STR guests are leaving something behind during their stay and want it back. From smartphones to cherished pieces of jewelry, or even a favorite book, each lost item represents not just a logistical challenge but also a potential dent in the guest experience and their online rating. Getting that item back to a customer isn’t enough –– the customers want it back quickly and seamlessly in order to earn that positive review. 

Historically, managing those items left behind by guests was a headache for property managers. Calls, emails, texts, time spent manually matching found items with guest claims, and handling shipping logistics all take a significant toll on the host’s time and resources. But those days are over –– savvy hosts are turning to Boomerang, the leading Lost & Found platform, to transform the operation and customer touchpoint while automating a ton of the workflow associated with returning items. 

In the world of short-term rentals, it’s the little things that can make the biggest difference. Boomerang empowers rental managers to elevate the Lost & Found experience for their guests by automating and streamlining the entire process, giving their guests an experience rental managers are proud of.
