What is Touch Stay?
Touch Stay is an innovative digital guidebook platform that allows hosts to create personalized and interactive materials for their guests. With Touch Stay, you can create professional-looking guidebooks that include important details about your property, local recommendations, and other helpful tips. These resources can be accessed through any device, making it convenient for both hosts and guests.
Features of Touch Stay include:
Custom Branding: Hosts can add their own logo, images, and colors to make the welcome guide feel more personal.
Local Tips: Hosts can share their favorite local restaurants, activities, and attractions with their guests.
Property Details: Guests can easily find important information such as WiFi passwords, check-in instructions, and house rules in one place.
Interactive Maps: Touch Stay integrates with Google Maps. This allows hosts to create interactive maps highlighting any nearby points of interest.
Track Engagement: Hosts can see how many times their guests have accessed the guide and which sections they viewed. This offers valuable insights into what information is most important to their guests.
