[Coworking] Re: Membership Perks
Thanks Tyler! You've been super helpful. Jessica On Saturday, September 27, 2014 11:18:55 AM UTC-4, Tyler Byrd wrote: Hey Jessica, we do this with our members. Each of our members has a keycard to access the space, which includes their picture, name, company, and our space's logo. We have been negotiating with businesses around town to offer between 15-25% off their services if our member comes in with their badge. We decided on the businesses to approach based on suggestions from our members and how far they were from our space. So far we have mostly coffee shops, restaurants, and bars but we are talking to a couple of more traditional businesses such as gyms and printing services now. When we approached the business we showed them the keycard our members used and explained how many people we have and how we would promote them. Promotion included being featured in our newsletter, keeping a menu of services in our space for members to review, listing them in our member services directory, and in our sign up packages. We are also going to begin featuring them on our website and social media profiles. So far the response from both members and businesses has been positive. We had a couple businesses push back on the discount amount we were asking for, but we explained that those were the minimum thresholds to be included with us. Hope this helps. Tyler Good Morning, We starting to think about creating perks (discounts from local businesses, and services) for our members. Do any of you have this at your coworking spaces? I am not exactly sure how go about asking businesses for discounts for our members especially since we are so new. Thanks!

Re: [Coworking] Re: Membership Perks
Yes, makes sense. I am not sure I would want a business to come in and just advertise their product. You live and you learn right? Thanks Alex.

Most people don’t like a sales pitch, but they DO like learning things that can help them in their lives and their businesses. When a vendor shares something useful, it not only keeps your members interested but also helps establish their trust in the vendor, and helps the vendor become a “go-to” resource (which turns into recommendations, etc). Many vendors who pitch us wanting to reach our members aren’t willing to put in even a little bit of time to earn our members’ trust, but ALL of the ones who do have built strong connections into the community and are often recommended by members over and over and over. Way, way more effective than the yawn-worthy sales pitch! -Alex On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 2:06 PM, Lisa Anne Logan lisa...@hattery.com javascript: wrote: Hi Jessica, +1 to Tyler's approach - it works out well.

Re: [Coworking] Coworking space run by Members
Wow, that's awesome! Thanks Tom. Jessica On Saturday, September 27, 2014 11:49:49 AM UTC-4, Tom Brandt - Workantile wrote: I am one of the co-owners (should co-owner have a hyphen :)) of Workantile, a coworking community in Ann Arbor. We are very much like a co-op. We have no paid staff, no front desk, and in fact the two other co-owners and I are dues paying members like all other members. We set the expectation right away that members contribute to the community by doing whatever needs doing. One of our members organizes monthly cleanings, where the space is cleaned top to bottom. We have maybe half a dozen people show up, and we get it done in around an hour. Members take out the trash when the trash containers get full. Other members organize social activities, or order supplies, or work with me on the billing system. It all works quite well. Some people participate more than others, but everything gets done that needs to get done. The keys are setting the expectation right up front, before someone joins, that this is the way things work; and the subtle peer pressure that is created when members see other members doing things.

It's somewhat frustrating because myself and the other co-owner work full time jobs that are not in the local area of the space , and it is hard for us to get out of work and cover.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Basic elements for a definition of coworking
Thanks for that reply Alex. With that included here's the whole list Calls itself a coworking space. Has a fully dedicated space for coworking (not just a few hours or a cafeteria shared with patrons). Has an active community of members, not just clients. Has a facilitator dedicated to connect the members and build trust among them, engaging in activities to build the coworking community. Treats coworkers as 1st class clients. Promotes and encourages collaboration, interaction and serendipity. Offers one or many kinds of membership (full or part time) Open decision-making: sets explicit, transparent, public limits on who can be a member and how they can participate; does not have implicit or hidden rules or processes for determining or excluding potential members. We will review the map of coworking spaces in Belgium http://coworkingbelgium.be/belgium-coworking-spaces-map based on this list. Now for the 1 Million question: should we weight this criteria?

Re: [Coworking] Competing Spaces
One perspective to consider is what is the total addressable market? Vancouver has many coworking spaces and I get asked often by the media if I think the coworking market in Vancouver is saturated. By my math, if you consider every micro entrepreneur as a potential user, Vancouver is addressing around 1.5% of the total addressable market. Far from saturated, surely. Yet some of these spaces are struggling to fill desks. The problem isn't the size of the market - it's lack of knowledge in the potential market about coworking. More spaces = more potential awareness. There must be some critical mass in a city or region that pushes coworking from obscurity to mainstream recognition.

Re: [Coworking] Competing Spaces
When we launched our first spaces, there were few others in the market. We spent the majority of our time explaining the concept, a lot of effort on education and outreach. As more and more spaces launched in our city, we definitely all began to benefit from the mainstream recognition, as well as the new opportunity to collaborate with each other. You have a choice to 'compete' or to 'collaborate'. I feel our unique coworking communities in Toronto have a lot in common, and a lot to offer each other in terms of support, advice and experience. I believe our Coworking Toronto and Coworking Ontario collectives are similar to this google group - we genuinely like each other and want each other to succeed. We are all fiercely independent, but I think we all gravitated towards participating in a regional collective because were all facing similar challenges, and were looking for other like-mided friends, mentors and colleagues to connect with in Toronto. The same way our members want to connect. We can also benefit from collective advertising (the concept rather than the space) and our members benefit when we leverage collective bargaining power to create programs like COHIP. We might have different missions and mandates and markets, but we can agree that we all want our members to be happy and healthy and productive. Since coworking spaces in Toronto and Ontario began collaborating, we've seen a steady increase in coworking awareness, and community participation in our events. Since launching a collective website, we've seen more traffic, more tours, more media attention and more members. Our spaces are all better spaces and our communities are all stronger communities because we share best practices. And yes, the market is growing along with the number of active spaces. It's a beautiful cycle of supply and demand. If coworking is truly the future of work as we claim, I can't see a saturation point here anytime soon... Choose to be a champion and a collaborator rather than a competitor when you arrive, and introduce yourself as such. Then start to imagine what's possible if you work together.
