Hey guys, I've spoken to many of you via email or on the phone and some of you are currently using our service. I wanted to make a quick post on here to inform the rest of you of what we are up to at eVenues..
A few years ago, my partner David Jennings and I were working for a Seattle education company that had 9000+ ft2 of underutilized space. We wanted to rent the space out, but had no where to post it and no method of finding renters beyond spending $$$ to advertise in local mags, sending out flyers, etc. The concept was there, but no one had executed it as of yet, thus the birth of eVenues. Our goal is to help promote spaces like yours in creating a one-stop community for the consumers who are out there looking for the space, but know not that it exists. We've heard from many a business traveler, entrepreneur, meeting/event planner, etc. that they are out there looking, but resorting to their nearest Starbucks or Hilton to find an adequate meeting/work spot. We aim to help those consumers find your unique spaces by creating a community of space, searchable and immediately bookable by consumers, nationwide. We've been working on the concept for nearly 2 years now, and launched our Beta in July. We now have over 120+ spaces listed in 20 states nationwide. Over 30+ coworking spots are using us, and have given us great feedback on how we can better mold the service to fit your biz. It's free to post, and only takes 15-20 minutes to get published on our live marketplace. By joining our network, you also receive free placement in our affiliate networks such as DeskSpaces.com, MeetingSpaces.com and 4 other targeted affiliates, with the goal of converting localized search (ex: we come up #1 for the search "San Francisco Desk Spaces"). We hope to expand this campaign as it grows and gains more traction within organic search (this happens as more spaces are added). We also plan to launch a paid search campaign in the coming months, as well as some more traditional print and media marketing as well. All of these efforts are going to be directed at bringing new consumers, and new revenue to your businesses. Lastly, we've recently hired a great PR firm who has been contacted by NPR, the Wall Street Journal, the NY Times, and various other media outlets about doing a story about eVenues. We hope to create tight relationships with many of you and bring your business all of the publicity it deserves. If anyone reading, has any questions or concerns.. or would like a quick demo of the service, please email me personally at: nic[at] evenues[dot]com. Thank you for your time, and Cheers to 2010!
