Interesting...for us we get a lot of people at the events who aren't necessarily going to become coworkers and/or wouldn't use the flexible childcare in our space. We have some member only events that do garner socializing and are usually a fairly big hit. We are looking at hitting the events that will bring the teleworker/commuter in. For us, if they don't have kids, it only costs $20/half day of work, so the price of admissions is low. I don't think that is the barrier.
Would love to hear what kinds of events other people have found to increase membership. It's great to have a variety of events but we also like to use our events as a marketing tool, and to do that we want to make sure the events appeal to the coworking audience, and that might be where we miss the sweet spot.
