Re: [Coworking] What printing/copying/fax machine?

Jessica, In my "almost-open" space we have a large b/w laser copier/scanner/printer that is free for members to use. The machine was donated to us and the toner is cheap so it was a welcome addition. We also have a Konica Minolta color laser copier/scanner/fax/printer at the front desk. Faxing

Hey all, At my almost-opened space I am purchasing the last of my equipmentthough I always feel like I'm saying that! Right now I am focused on the print/copy/fax machine. I would like to offer a B/W laser, but now I'm looking at other options that receive great ratings such as Lexmark's Pres

Also - this leads to promoting your members instead of your space. People are far more attracted to being in a room full of smart, interesting, creative people than the idea of having a desk to sit at that's not in their bedroom/living room. Promoting an empty room is much, much harder than promot

Hi Paul, Our landlord required us to avoid any sublease language, and our members are instead required to sign "space licenses" to our space. It's a part of our membership agreement and it's all pretty simple. I'm not sure if that same language translates exactly (in legalese, that is) to differe

I'd echo Alex, and add that while telling people about your "stuff" can be helpful for some, it's not necessarily the way to get the members you want. I wrote a little blog post on it a ways back if you want to read more: http://blog.coworking.com/quit-marketing-your-stuff-and-start-marketing-your

The best word of mouth comes from your initial members. Focus on finding them instead of waiting for them to find you, and everything starts to replicate from there. Being active in the communities of people you're interested in is the best way to find them. Again, go to them. Help them. Host them
