None of our spaces got any money for selling the passports or for redeeming days. All of the funds went into the bank for the CoworkingToronto marketing budget, so when a space sold one, they handed over the funds to the collective.
The promotion itself wasn't meant to be a money maker for the individual spaces, but rather a convenient and sorta fun way to to generate awareness about our coworking spaces. r. *____________________ rachel young *[email protected] *We're now at 2241 Dundas St W, 3rd floor* *(between Bloor and Roncesvalles)* *Toronto, ON M6R 1X6* *See details at http://bit.ly/MovingToRoncy.* *Find us online:* Website/blog <http://camaraderie.ca> and Newsletter<http://bit.ly/camaraderienewsletter> Google+ <http://bit.ly/CamaraderiePlus>, Twitter<http://twitter.com/camaraderie> , Facebook <http://bit.ly/9zv3Fx>, and LinkedIn<http://bit.ly/CamaraderieGroup> We're a proud member of CoworkingToronto <http://www.coworkingtoronto.ca/>, CoworkingOntario<http://coworkingontario.ca/> , and CoworkingCanada <http://www.coworkingcanada.ca/>!
