Our membership billing cycles are mid-month, giving people 15 days to pay (due at the end of each month) when our bills are also due.
Also, I think there's a fundamental and important distinction between "lease" and "membership". Take a look at the great membership agreement by Beehive Baltimore: http://coworking-baltimore.googlegroups.com/web/Beehive+Member+Agreement+-+2009012101.pdf The structure and content are designed to impart a sense of responsibility to the community, rather than to a desk, which we've seen people identify much more closely with. We've also offered incentives for signing up for longer periods of time, especially with our lower cost membership levels. Not having to invoice a basic member $25 every month lowers administrative overhead, and puts cash in the bank. -Alex -- ----- -- ----- Alex Hillman im always developing something digital: [email protected] helpful: www.unstick.me visual: www.dangerouslyawesome.com local: www.indyhall.org On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 10:54 AM, Anca Mosoiu <[email protected]> wrote: > Do you guys start your thirty days on the first of the month, or every 30 > days? > I'm working on writing up my leasing agreements right now, so this is a > great conversation! :) > > > On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 7:35 AM, Tara Hunt <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> :) Thanks!
