Press kit — GuestGesture

Press kit for journalists. An AI-curated arrival program for vacation rentals, villas, and private homes. Brand-catalog overview, customer scenes, key stats, contact for journalists.

The pitch, in one paragraph

GuestGesture is a private arrival program. A curated catalog of luxury brands — Aesop, Byredo, Tom Ford Beauty, Maison Francis Kurkdjian — composed for the listing the way a returning guest would, and placed by a real hand in vacation rentals, villas, hotels, and private homes before guests arrive. Three tiers from $80, a 72-hour lead time, domestic United States. We are not a gift basket service. We are the twenty minutes between the key turning and the guest sitting down.

Customer scenes

Hudson Valley, NY — a rented cabin near Garrison. Aesop hand cream by the sink, a Le Creuset Heritage stoneware bowl, a card on heavy paper. Placed Friday afternoon before a friend arrived for a weekend after a hard year.

Charleston, SC — a peninsula rental for three nights. A Tom Ford Beauty Tobacco Vanille candle, a Le Creuset espresso cup, a card. Three days for nothing — a sister had booked the room for a mother who needed to do less.

Big Sur, CA — a cabin off Sycamore Canyon. A loaf of dark walnut bread from a Carmel bakery, a Byredo Tobacco Mandarin candle, a small Le Creuset saltcellar.
