**The problem it solves** Vacation rental guests rarely have a frictionless way to discover and redeem local merchant deals during their stay, and local businesses lack a targeted channel to reach STR travellers. **What Savvy does** Savvy Stay is a local deals and advertising platform that connects short-term vacation rental guests with local businesses in the destinations they visit. The platform operates as a targeted marketing channel where restaurants, activity providers, tour operators, retailers, and service businesses can publish exclusive discount offers available only to STR guests in a specific area. **How it works** Property managers and hosts distribute Savvy Stay access to their guests as part of the welcome experience at no additional cost. The platform is structured around three user types: hosts who distribute deal access, local merchants who create and manage offers, and area developers who manage Savvy Stay's footprint in specific geographic markets. Merchants control discount levels, eligibility rules, and expiry through a self-service DIY advertising interface. Guests access deals exclusively through their vacation rental booking, keeping the channel closed to non-STR travellers. **Who it's for** Short-term rental property managers and hosts enhancing the guest experience, local merchants in vacation markets seeking a direct channel to visitors, and entrepreneurs building regional networks as area developers.
