Hi Melissa, I just opened Skylight Coworking in Phoenixville, PA a few weeks ago after many years of research and development. I really thought offering Part-Time (3-days-week) and Full-Time (5-days) memberships with "set" monthly pricing was the right way to go; however, it's my new community that informed me these weren't the best options for people in my neck of the woods. At our coworkers' requests, I've introduced "Drop-In Punchcards." Coworkers can buy 5-Packs, 10-Packs, and 20-Packs... and this seems to be the popular option now. As many others have said in this thread, I think it's best to start with something when you open (membership plans you THINK will work best) and then poll your coworkers as you get going. They'll tell you what works best. Good luck!
