I like the keychain too, so investigated the cheaper plastic version through Shapeways, but by the time I was going to buy 4 x plastic ones the cost to Australia blew out to around $AUS54!
(depending on product up to $US hundreds for gold etc. varies plastic, brass, bronze, silver etc.)
BUT seriously, 4 x plastic Airbnb symbols when converted to Australian dollars plus shipping (US$15) 😱😳😳😳 for these near weightless items, meant a total of around $54 Australian dollars. Postage the same whether one or four plastic symbols.
So the downside of this expense is they are pretty, and could be taken by a guest for a souvenir. So that would make this symbol, an expensive option to constantly replace. The price is doable if living in America.
**** Such a shame I can’t “weld” paper clips! ***** 🖇🖇📎📎🔑🔑🗝🗝🗝
However, a couple of other home made options:
1️⃣ 1. a circular metal dog “name” tag disc. (I would choose red but your choice depending on your theme.
A. Get it professionally engraved with “AirBNB” one side/ a “phone number” on the other (for found keys). NEVER write a residential ADDRESS on keys chains, for security; unless you have big doorman security.
B. I have a household engraver, and am considering practising this myself with pencilling the symbol onto it. Will depend on the steady hand...,,
2️⃣ 2. Remember creating your own Airbnb design? Choosing logo colour and icons that matched your personality? (I created one and laminated it for placing on my letterbox for day time guest arrivals. I remove it after arrival.)
You can downsize your designed icon and print onto heavy card with phone details on the back (no address) and get them laminated; or buy clear key ring cases.
3️⃣ 3. Print a suitable size free downloadable Airbnb image onto paper or card. Write your contact phone number on the reverse side. Laminate or place in a plastic keyring.
🙌🏼 The keyring needs to be something guests will like, is not heavy, won’t lose, or permanently borrow!
