Julian: Thanks for you question about "raising prices" at your coworking space. Nancy & I recently met with our DurangoSpace advisory board and they recommended we consider a 20% increase (for 2012). So we are working through options, on both our membership rates and our room/ space rates. Our rent goes up 3.5% in January 2012, we have added a second 10MB Internet circuit and we have improved the space and services in year one. Our $20 day (base) day rate may be a bit low, and we know that our visitor meeting space rates are too low. Since we need to make sure the business model works, it is clear that adjusting the daily, monthly and special services rates is important.
We'd be interested to know what your learned as you made rate adjustments.
