Hi Ray,
I'm a Marketing Guru/Geek, take your pick:^) But, hey, I'll keep it to only
one topic this time:^)
JELLYing if you have the time in your schedule (...don't know what your
work-a-day world looks like) is a great way to begin. It's ingenious really.
Here's why. Marketing is about behavior, how humans consume, act, prefer,
join, congregate make their choices, etc.
1. JELLYing, will let you test your market and find out if you have one?
2. It's a barometer and a data-gathering tool, it will show you just who's
out there,
what they like, what they prefer, if they're joiners, tribal, the whole
enchilada.
2b. It may reshape your thoughts on what kind of coworking space to have?
Is there a propensity of single-mom-entrepreneurs, 5-to-9ers that wanna
work-together nights?, hackers, writers and designers, startups, game
developers, telecommuters? Much like soil---ask yourself, what will
grow here?
3. Although JELLYing was never invented as such, it is an extraordinary
evangelizing
and recruitment tool too. If you have a space, it lets them try
coworking-out & try your
space-out. It's like dating. As they become familiar, they will either
want relationship.
Or? They won't. If they do . . . you have a potential paying tenant,
that's already,
through their own self-dialogue, sold themselves on the idea!
Hope I was helpful. Cheers! - Dave B
