[Coworking] Re: 2008 vs. 2009

Strangely enough we felt a surge right at the end of 2008, and have not yet seen a significant jump in 2009. We've seen steady growth, but no huge jumps so far this year. That said, I'm confident that numbers will continue to climb - we've seen consistent interest and are giving tours of the spa

[Coworking] cosy furnitures for coworking

Hi folks, We have made some new progress with our coworking space here in Shanghai, we will set up a JV with a land owner to run their space of 450 sqms in an office building. The space looks boring right now, and the location is a bit remote from the city center. So besides setting up all kinds o

[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Recession

I know that our surge had no correlation to events, press, or anything. My intuition tells me that it's something like the "I'm going to go the gym" resolution. Many people use the new year to start new things they wanted to but never could get around to. Much like gyms experience large new member

[Coworking] Re: Coworking in Recession

Molly, Just because my marketing mind wants to know, what do you attribute the surge in January and September to? Are there specific events that lend to the surge twice a year? My initial guess would be school related, but I can't imagine that students are your core clientèle. Any thoughts? D. -
