Cat, A few things I did that helped:
Go to near by apartment buildings, befriend the manager, then ask to host a lunch for the tenants. Hang flyers a few days before to make tenants aware and then provide them with lunch, you get to meet people who are working from home, tell them about your space/coworking in general and invite them to come in to try it out. Get people in your space: Anyway you can. Once people are in and they see the space they will be curious and want to know more. I have done Art Openings, Live Music showcases, hosted parties for companies (outside of my members), I offered free yoga classes to the surrounding community...again any way to get people in the space, even if they didn't need coworking, most of the time they knew someone who would be interested! Grass Roots marketing, going out and getting into the community and letting them know. Going to relevant Meet-Up groups and letting them know who you are. I went to flea markets, festivals, music and just talked to as many people as I could. Hope some of that helps! and Good Luck!
