1. Try to contact as many blogs as you can, lots of people that visit blogs
are probable to come to coworking spaces.
2. Twitter is very good to advertise a last minute promotion for instance.
The best post on a blog gives one free week.
3. We are promoting workshops, it is a good source of revenue and brings us
more "cowork idea spreaders".
Lots of luck,

Assunto: [Coworking] Re: Keeping people coming through the door
A couple quick thoughts:
1. Ask the people who should be coming in why they're not. See if you can
isolate one or two specific sticking points that are keeping people away, so
you can go about addressing them.
2. Experiment. Try themed days. Cookie Fridays. Happy hours. Ask people what
they would do if they were in charge for a day.
3. Give give give. Is there a Meetup group in your town that might be stuck
meeting in a Panera Bread that would really like a real space to meet? Are
there dozens of Meetup groups like that? Go to their events, make friends,
and offer to help. Coworking spaces can be a fantastic free (or cheap)
resource for groups looking for an appropriate place to gather. Give give
give. Build your Whuffie :-)
4. Empower people to help. The advantage of being new is that people who are
interested in what you're doing can take some ownership over it by helping
to build it. If you find people who really dig what you're doing, but maybe
can't afford to pay to come work, see how you can empower them to work with
you and maybe spot them some free space in exchange.
Just some thoughts... best of luck!
Tony

So it's been almost two weeks since our launch. Buzz was good, and we
had a great turn out. Since then, everything has pretty well fallen
off. I don't know what I need to do to keep people coming back through
the door. I've been hitting the pavement and getting our name out
there - even finding out that people already knew about us. I just
don't seem to know what to do to get them in. Our events have gone
over well, everything about the reception has been positive. But day
after day I spend sitting over here in an empty space.
Anybody have any thoughts?
