[Coworking] Re: How to market a quiet, independent coworking space

2015-04-17 Thread Pauline Thomas
Hi Cynthia, 
We're on the same line: keeping the space quiet to keep focus is the 
priority 1 here at Laptop!
To tell you how much the calm counts for our community is that I had to 
invest on another space next to the original one to keep the openspace 
highly quiet and give the space for noise, discussion, collaboration, 
workshops, trainings... 
But building a community is also very important in parallel to develop 
expertises synergy between coworkers, it develop business opportunities, 
build stronger relationships and friendships. It makes the space alive and 
brings boldness to the group.
Happy to discuss more about building community benefits for a space, 
coworker, owner and one of the condition of happiness at work! This is a 
wide topic, it has probably been commented many times in this coworking 
google group!
Cheers,
Pauline

[Coworking] Re: How to market a quiet, independent coworking space

2015-04-16 Thread Pauline Thomas
Hi Chris and Jensen,
I have a little bit the same issue, I can't really give you a solution, but 
I can share my experience. 

People really enjoy working at Laptop, the communication is really word of 
mouth and apparently a not too bad SEO strategy thanks to articles on 
coworking.
But my community wants to keep this place quite private and hate we're 
organising too many events.
I don't select people (maybe I should?) but people chose us throughout the 
lunch integration process and spending time together during our drinks, 
people think they could be part of the community or not, those who stay are 
great for the whole community, they truly bring something new! 
And so we work on lots of projects together because we like each other and 
we try to combine our different skills which makes our teams very original 
and pluridisciplinary. We're thinking about creating a cooperative company 
together.

So in one hand, it tends to be like a coworking agency which goes well, and 
in the other hand a coworking place with very high quality events once a 
month (100-200 people attending), drinks once a week (5-20 people), lunches 
every day (from 5 to 15 people) attracts not a big crowd but just enough to 
pay the rent and all the rest.
