We just had our new front door decal installed today. People are already going nuts over it. http://www.indyhall.org/blog/4227/where-the-heck-is-indy-hall-now It looks exactly like etched glass, but it's about $500 installed and isn't permanent. -Alex -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in phila

[Coworking] Passport for sharing coworking

We are looking to link some of the local coworking spaces together under one passport. We are already a member of the Coworking Visa for national use, but wanted to start something locally as well for spaces that our members would use more frequently. Does anyone have suggestions of models that

Denver Coworks, our local coworking alliance, is looking into a regional passport as well. Compared to the Toronto one that Rachel described ours is different in that it will focus on being a pass to all the spaces so companies can purchase multiple memberships and then the individuals find the

Craig (and others): On the logistics side of things, the passports are being sold by the participating spaces or by a 3rd party entity? -Alex -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 5:00 PM, Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking < baut...@gmail.com> wrote:

For the CoworkingToronto one it was sold at participating spaces, but also online. We didn't think it was necessary to involve a 3rd party for the first trial. I love seeing variations of this kind of promotion. Craig, I love how you've tied in businesses and corporations too. r. *__

None of our spaces got any money for selling the passports or for redeeming days. All of the funds went into the bank for the CoworkingToronto marketing budget, so when a space sold one, they handed over the funds to the collective. The promotion itself wasn't meant to be a money maker for the ind

Craig, have you decided if you'll have a physical passport or an app? And if a physical passport, is it a cardstock like what we had or a refillable card? or something else? And will your spaces get a payment for redemptions? If so, how do you plan to do that? r. * rachel you
