Hello Denise, I was hoping for a speedy response.
-Do you host any kind of networking events? *Yes, many, many --- especially with Eco Investment Club. http://www.facebook.com/EcoHub?v=app_2344061033&ref=ts * -How are you promoting your members to each other? *Mostly Personal, and then email introductions* -We think have "permanently" unstaffed space is a mistake. If you want to grow participation and awareness, someone with a vested interest in those ideas should be there to make them happen. *I work and run the Club from the space and we have an office manager* (see here) http://www.facebook.com/EcoHub?v=app_2392950137&ref=ts -Are you offering any kind of referral incentive? *Not yet, is that a community driver to get people to stay longer? more visitors? * I am thinking of subtle drivers like nap rooms, couches, coffee machines, community flyer boards, bike racks, etc... any more ideas? And please explain why do you think these work.... On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 12:35 PM, coworking <[email protected]>wrote: > EcoConnoisseur, these are some great questions.
