Find the local BNI chapter. Business Networking International. Join
it. Chamber of commerce, councillors, awesome!!! Go to the local
coffeehouse and offer to carry their coffee, if they send over all the
frustrated officeworkers.
Hold a party. No joke. Hold a party. Potluck, Meet the Business,
type party.
Gluck.
Got to run, sorry,

How is your connection with your chamber of commerce or city
councillors? They might be able to help you reach the folks you need.
Can you sponsor an event or host an event where you can speak for
a few mins about what your space is for and why it is awesome?
Can you do a targeted mailing? You might want to consider
partnering with a complimentary service (a printer, for example)
and each of you take one side of a postcard for your business,
split the cost of printing and mailing.
Can you write an article for the local paper, or get local radio
or news to talk about you? If you're not the one writing, then try
to control the message as much as you can so that you can ensure
they focus on the right things. Ask them to spend a day in your
space, or even broadcast from your space and make it a free
drop-in day.

Hi, guys. This is focused on those of us who run more rural
spaces, but I'd love advice from anyone who can help. Thanks,
in advance.
It's been slow going for me -- people don't understand what
we're trying to do and not getting a whole lot of interest.
HOWEVER, my two members both come because they have limited
access to high speed Internet in their home offices. They
found us on the Internet ironically, so they "get" it. Lots of
the businesses around here (that I know of) don't even have
Internet; some still have dialup. Okay, so, if this is a way
to bring in people, how do I get in contact with them? I've
posted flyers at the local library where they may try to work
(and I've shared with the local coffee house). But they go to
places like McDonalds, etc. and not sure how to let them know
about us. We have notices on our windows and do a lot with FB
and LinkedIn, but ......
Thoughts?
Thanks.
