Elias, our friends at Shareable just posted a mega list of marketing advice from across the community, including one of my own contribution at the top. http://www.shareable.net/blog/16-creative-ways-to-market-your-coworking-space
Here's mine, excerpted: *1. Get to Know People Outside of the Coworking Space - Alex Hillman, co-founder of Indy Hall <http://www.indyhall.org/>* Go outside. Literally, go outside. Stop trying to get people to walk into your coworking space as the first step to discovering you. Most of the people who are ideal members for coworking aren't actively looking for an office, so expecting them to walk in off the street or even sign up for a tour is crazypants. Get to know people on their own turf. Where do those people already gather in your city/town/village? It might be coffee shops...but it also might not be. Try focusing outside of the obvious "business" meetups - explore all kinds of activity based communities. Within them, you're bound to find people who have similar goals and values, even among different professions. Then participate in those communities instead of just trying to sell them on coworking. Bring people together. Add value. Earn trust. If you already have some members in your coworking space, invite them to come along. Help cross pollinate the communities you get involved in. When people ask how you all know each other - bam. "We're all a part of Indy Hall." What's that? "Have you ever worked from home...and felt like being alone was hurting your productivity...." -Alex On Wednesday, November 25, 2015, Elias Park <[email protected]> wrote: > Congrats Ramon! > > Can I ask, If I am prepping to open my coworking space in California, what > kind of promo can u advise on? > > My main goal is to get people IN.
