Hey there! I'm part of a team that's opening a 33,000 s.f. coworking/maker space/offices/corporate training space called Evolve Workplace, in West St Paul, MN. We're in an older, newly-redeveloped first ring suburb, about 10 minutes south of downtown St Paul in the Twin Cities. I'm hoping to glean some pearls of wisdom from those who own, manage, operate and who are members of similar spaces. I really want to know what does and doesn't work for each of you! Our website (according to initial feedback) 1. Needs more images of humans 2. Needs less verbiage and 3. Needs more personality. That being said, feel free to give us feedback and pointers--we're going to try to jazz up its personality in the next few weeks.
The three of us who are founders (along with two of the guys wives) are serial entrepreneurs, and decided to hop on the coworking bandwagon that is just now gaining popularity in the Midwest. As for unique space features, we have three cabanas/tents, a few hammocks, postal packaging and gift wrapping stations, and a photo/video studio with lights and a Chromakey green screen. We also have an awesome game room with a putting green, ping pong, foosball, air hockey, English darts, puzzle and board game tables, and even scrapbooking/stamping/card making. For now, we're trying to open Phase I of the space, and to pull in as many people as possible. Any guerrilla marketing techniques are greatly appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
