[Coworking] Re: Growing our coworking space

2014-02-20 Thread Barbara Sprenger
Elise, because we were in smaller areas, we needed to provide a broad range 
of space, time, services to appeal to a broader range of people. This may 
not be what you want to do, though. The unifying thread for us has been 
community: the town people have chosen to live in or identify with. That 
said, use Craigslist! We post 2 - 3 times/day. We've tried everything, and 
it certainly works best. (Oh, and have a good call to action on your 
interesting website.)

 Hey All, 

 I've been following this group thread and see that everyone is totally 
 immersed in the coworking world and running successful, member-filled 
 spaces. 

 As I've checked most of your sites, I'm wondering how you gained so many 
 members in the short, yet successful time your space has been around? 

 I work for ThincSavannah, Savannah's first coworking space, and we have a 
 strong core of members, about 50-60, but are having a challenging time 
 growing beyond that.

 Any advice and insight is appreciated!

 additions).

 Thanks a bunch!

Barbara,

That's a great suggestion for the Craigslist. I hope it would attract
mostly the, what we would call, 'creatively normal' haha But now that Thinc
is more established I think we can post a more accurate ad.

Also, another good point with the call to action on our site. I will look
into that as well!

Thanks for the suggestions!
