[Coworking] Re: Facebook ads vs magazine ads

[Alex Ahom]

Simply put number of copies printed doesn't relate to how many people saw 
or read your add. ROI and CPA are vital and with print, radio and TV you 
will have little to no idea on those metrics.

At least with socials, you can target and engage which is the next step.

Re: [Coworking] Slack for Coworking

[Alex Ahom]

Hi everyone! thanks for the heads up on Slack. I'm totally new to this 
group as of yesterday (and slack) so I took your advice and signed up last 
night. I joined the Coworking Leadership Slack group and started one for my 
coworking space Shhared.

Hope to see more of you here and on in the slackosphere.

[Coworking] Re: Wifi for Coworking

[Alex Ahom]

Look around in order not to get stung for price. The answer of course 
depends on your size but here I go with my two pence/cents worth;

- Fibre connection would be ideal
- Have backup lines or a system so if one goes down, the other has you 
covered
- Have many access points dotted around
- Don't think in terms of absolute speed, think about bandwidth and if you 
have 20, 50, 100 people at once will they all have a workable speed. Maybe 
each user can have an up/down allowance.
- Make it easy to use and long in and easy to 'manage'. Have an idea who is 
on your network, what they are doing and how much they are using.
- Have clear defined rules and T - MAKE THEM VISIBLE.
- Have fun with the wifi network names *LoveYourWork *WeLoveGuestsToo 

Just some ideas.

[Coworking] Hi coworking community - What is the best way for owners / managers to connect stay in contact?

[Alex Ahom]

Hi everyone,

I'll try to keep to the point as there are so many great topics in this 
forum. 

We all talk about collaboration and being connected but I find myself often 
asking, 'I wonder what this person/company has or done/would do?' We all 
agree supporting our community members is paramount, so how can we better 
support one another?

Regards,
