Jerlina, There is awesome advice in here from everyone. I have to echo alot of their sentiments. We down here in Tampa are still in the process of finalizing our space so we share your concern about how to make sure people know about us and can walk in the door day one. To that end we have been building our "community" since the day we decided to make coworking a reality here. We've done Jelly's (next one at the beginning of November) and we kicked off our workshop series last month in donated space. Also, in addition to just being out in the market and interacting with our potential audience we're sharing the coworking message with some of the economic development "engines" here to build partnerships between coworking and other economic development efforts further up the food chain.
In short I guess, you're ALWAYS building awareness. Keep at it!
