Hi Angela, I'm working on opening a similar space here. I've thought about using a crowdfunding campaign too and always thought it made sense to offer memberships or coworking days at a discount to standard prices so people effectively prepaid their memberships. The only downside with this is that you would need to be careful not to spend too much of this on upfront costs as you would need to keep much of it to cover the day to day running costs for the period of the memberships sold.
If your target audience has special interests, you could offer special wokshops around those. For example, get a famous designer/celebrity/entrepreneur (or several) on board and get them to do a workshop with participants. Hackermoms ran a very well run and successful campaign on Kickstarter a while back. It would be worth looking at what they did (and other spaces that have done it). Their perks weren't all that valuable from memory, but people got behind it because they had a great story and backers really liked what they were doing. Hope that helps some, Susan On Tuesday, 28 January 2014 07:12:39 UTC+11, Angela Samuels wrote: > > I'm going to be running an IndieGoGo campaign in about a month.
