Quick-Start Signs Pack

Print 12 signs and hang each where the question comes up: Wi-Fi, checkout steps, thermostat, trash day, coffee maker, parking, shoes, cameras.

What it fixes

Guests will not open a binder to find the trash day. They will text you instead

Guests will not open a binder to find the trash day. They will text you. The fix is a small set of well-placed, well-worded signs that answer the question exactly where it occurs: at the thermostat, by the coffee maker, on the back of the door.

These twelve signs come two ways in one download: a designed, print-ready PDF you frame as-is, and a fully editable Word version. Pre-worded in a friendly host voice, no laminated ALL CAPS energy. Print, frame, done.

Written by Eric, who founded a vacation rental company in 2004 and spent close to a decade deep cleaning rentals somebody else had already called clean.

What is inside: all 12 parts

This is the complete contents list, not a highlights reel. Every line below is a part of the file that is already written and already laid out. The wording and the layout are done. You open it in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, or Pages and overwrite the bracketed fields with your own details.

  • Wi-Fi card (5x7, designed to be photographed)
  • Checkout steps card: the 5 things you actually need guests to do
  • Thermostat / heating & cooling instructions
  • Trash, recycling & pickup-day sign
  • Coffee maker quick-start
  • Parking instructions card
  • TV & streaming quick-start
  • Hot tub / pool rules (safety-first wording)
  • Quiet hours & neighbors note that keeps the neighborhood on your side
  • Shoes-off sign with the slipper offer that softens it
  • Coming-and-going card: door codes, late nights, closing up gently
  • Exterior-camera disclosure sign (no cameras inside, ever - stated plainly)

What it replaces

the work it removes
  • A blank document and every decision inside it. Somebody has to work out what belongs in each of those 12 parts, write the wording, and lay it out, 12 times over. That is the part already done.
  • A generic small-business template with the word "property" pasted over it. It was written against one problem: Guests will not open a binder to find the trash day. They will text you instead.
  • Version chasing. If the file gets revised, the new one is a free re-download, not a second purchase.
  • A subscription. It is a DOCX file you keep. Nothing logs in, nothing syncs, and nothing stops working when a card expires.

When not to buy this

said plainly
  • If what you want is software that runs itself, this isn't it and never claimed to be. It's a DOCX file you open, edit, and own. No app, nothing to log into.
  • Already have a version of this written down, with a team that follows it? Keep it. Swapping a working system for a stranger's is a downgrade.
  • The writing is done. Filling in your codes, your local numbers and your house rules is still on you.
  • You have not read one of these yet. 9 of the 35 files download with no account and no email address. Take one of those first and judge the writing before you spend $69 CAD.
The pass math

There is no buy button for this one file. I would rather say so than print a price you cannot pay.

The 26 Pro toolkits are sold as one thing. One payment of $69 CAD opens all of them. This file does not sell on its own, so there is no separate price to quote for it. What I will stand behind is a count: 26 files, 168 written parts between them. Every toolkit is named on the pricing page before you decide. Anything added to the library later is included, and nothing renews.
