Citizen Space has always had free drop-ins. Unlimited. We put signs up for a paypal donation if people wanna. But that has been our #1 marketing tool to getting people in. They become so comfortable in the space that they start to rely on it. Those days they can't get in (dropins can only get in if there is a paying member there), they get frustrated. Compound that with their growing feeling of obligation to the space and BINGO! we have a new member.
Plus, it's a bonus to the current members who benefit from the extra energy. It's #1 lead generation. Oh...and we have events that are open to the public to show goodwill. Like Bavarian breakfasts and the upcoming Waffle Wednesdays (which we stole from this list, I believe).
