On the apartment complex note, a number of LiquidSpace venues have seen success in approaching nearby apartment complexes and other groups within their local communities. This led us to build a number of features that help shared workspace operators do just this. Most notably, you can distribute a link directly to your bookable calendar for inclusion in newsletters, direct email blasts, inclusion on the apartment community's own website, etc. You can then take it a step further and generate coupons for discounted bookings, etc.
Happy to discuss in more detail with anyone interested.
