Tips and tricks on where to place amenity QR Codes within your rental
Amenity Best Practices for On-Site QR Placement
Introduction
QR codes are a powerful tool to enhance guest experiences by providing instant access to instructions, troubleshooting guides, and maintenance requests for in-room amenities. Proper placement ensures high engagement and usability. This guide outlines best practices for placing QR codes effectively on-site for amenities like HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, and more.
QR Codes are Automatically Generated by Smart Spaces
They are labeled when they are generated and downloaded, so you don't need to worry about misplacing them!
1. Choosing the Right Locations
To maximize usability, place QR codes directly on or near amenities where guests are most likely to need guidance:
- HVAC Systems: Place a QR code near the thermostat or air conditioning unit to provide operating instructions and troubleshooting steps.
- Stoves & Ovens: Attach QR codes inside a cabinet near the stove or directly on the range hood to link to usage guides and safety precautions.
- Washer & Dryer: Position QR codes on or above the machines to provide wash cycle instructions and common troubleshooting tips.
- Dishwasher: Place QR codes near the detergent compartment or inside the cabinet above to explain usage and recommended detergents.
- TV & Entertainment Systems: Attach QR codes near the remote control or on the TV stand for quick access to channel guides and streaming service login instructions.
- Water Heater & Plumbing Features: Include QR codes near hot water controls or inside the bathroom cabinet to provide troubleshooting tips and contact details for support.
2. Ensuring Accessibility & Visibility
- Eye-Level Placement: Position QR codes at a comfortable scanning height, ideally between 3-5 feet from the ground.
- Avoid Obstruction: Ensure the QR code is not covered by other labels, decorations, or furniture.
- Use High-Quality Printing: Print QR codes in high resolution to maintain scannability.
- Test Before Deployment: Scan the QR code with multiple devices to ensure easy readability.
3. Durability & Protection
- Laminating for Longevity: To protect against wear and tear, laminate QR code sheets before placing them on-site.
- Use Clear Packing Tape: If lamination is not available, cover the QR code with clear packing tape to prevent smudging and damage.
- Weatherproofing Outdoor Amenities: For hot tubs, grills, or other outdoor amenities, use waterproof materials or place QR codes in protective sleeves.
- Regular Checks: Inspect QR codes periodically to ensure they remain legible and functional.
