Piotr, Hello there. good to see you here, too. (Guys, you have to follow this guy on Facebook, <https://www.facebook.com/ClockWork.CoWork> he has a truly hilariously evil sense of humor and is wicked smart). I assume you all have found the "See translation"button by now, if only because you all of course follow me<https://www.facebook.com/pages/Flexkantoor-Kamer52/133200870061618>. *koff*.
The best thing I did when my space was shaking its way through the startup phase was to offer it for free to 1) a theater group and 2) a local art event. The first was a good idea because nobody can get the word out faster than people in theater, if they cannot do that they don't last long. (Besides, they are huge fun. I had a party with the theater group and a circus group, and it was worth it just to get to come, lol). The second was a good idea because several hundred people had a good excuse to walk in and look around without feeling weird about it. But the nature of the thing doesn't matter: find some nonprofit in your area that needs space and give them the space for a fund raiser. Or find some need in your community that isn't being taken care of and fill it. Make sure that the people who care about that overlaps to some extent with your desired members. Do something for somebody else, it will get you noticed. Organize a Cashmob <http://www.cashmob.com/>, people like new, shiny stuff and buy local is hip these days. Something like that.
