Your Ultimate Check In Checklist: Ace the Welcome – Ensuring a Smooth Check-in for Photoshoots with Aloca

September 22, 2023

Ever considered using a photoshoot check-in guide? When you open your property to creative professionals for a photoshoot, the initial impression is vital. It sets the tone for the rest of their experience and can influence their overall satisfaction with your space. This blog post will guide you through ensuring a smooth, efficient, and friendly check-in process for your guests at your Aloca property.

Greet Your Guests Warmly

The moment the creative crew steps onto your property, make them feel welcome. Greet them with a friendly smile, introduce yourself, and express your excitement about their project. This immediate positive interaction will establish a good rapport with the team and kick-start their experience on a high note.

Offer Assistance with Equipment

Photoshoots often come with a significant amount of equipment that can be cumbersome for the crew to manage alone. Be proactive and offer to help them carry their gear into your property. Remember to take care and not lift anything that could potentially cause injury.

Give a Tour of Your Space

A guided tour of your property not only familiarises the crew with the space but also highlights its unique aspects and functional features. Use this opportunity to draw their attention to areas that could enhance their photoshoot.

Reiterate the Rules

To maintain mutual respect and understanding, it’s important to remind the crew about the guidelines of using your property. Have a hard copy of your rules available and guide them through the main points. This reinforces their understanding of what’s expected of them during the shoot.

Discuss Key Details

Prevent potential misunderstandings by discussing key details upfront. Clarify overtime rates, acknowledge any pre-existing damages, and encourage the crew to photograph anything they’re unsure about. Transparency at this stage can help avoid disputes later on.

Assist with Setup

Offering to help the crew with their setup can earn you bonus points as a host. Show them where power points, remote controls, and other necessities are located. Be there for them without being in their way, to make their setup process easier.

Communication Upon Departure

If you won’t be present during the photoshoot, communicate your plans with the crew. Provide them with your contact details for any questions or concerns, and let them know when you plan to return. This keeps them informed and comfortable in your absence.

With these tips, you’re set to provide a seamless check-in experience for your guests. This initial positive experience can be the foundation for a successful photoshoot, reflecting positively on you as a host, and potentially leading to repeat bookings in the future. It’s not just about offering a great space—it’s about creating a great experience. With Aloca, let’s make every check-in a breeze!
