[Coworking] Re: How did you find your coworking space?
Hi Karina, Where are you looking? We have a couple of amazing brokers. With both, we were satisfied with the deal, and they went even further -- getting us an even better deal! LoopNet is the main site for commercial real estate, both for purchase and lease. But they charge a lot, since they're really designed for realtors. You can get a little way with what you can see free. The other one is CoStar, but they're now owned by LoopNet. Also, check Craigslist. If you post where you're looking, others may be able to help.

Hi Tamara, Thanks for sharing that link. It's quite informative and I really enjoyed reading it.

I found this particular link really interesting as it focused on condensed information a lot of research. http://makingspaceforothers.com/ I am also interested in how to make an ecosistem from the people that is in here to the common welth of the ones that are outside of the coworking. For example we are traying to build this cowork of coworking + education. So we want the education that happens here some how descetralices and some of the workshops are somewere else in the city, the exibitions of the workshops we want them to be also desentraliced so we can get support from other places in Mérida and not everything has to happen on our place. Also other dilema that we are thinking is how can we, some how incubate creative projects and bring them here to be solved and the question is: How do we make the election of the coworkers that than can develop the project? how do we charge for this? How can we dinamise the projects to be on group? Do we have to leader the creative projecto? Does this have to work some how as an underground agency? This questions are really around our heads but I believe one day the community is open I hope they get answered.

[Coworking] Who's tracking their membership churn?
As the business aphorism goes, it's a lot easier to keep an existing customer than it is to get a new one. I know there are a variety of systems out there that people are using, I'm wondering if anyone is actively keeping track of things like churn and member lifetime value? I know that most people are more focused on attracting new members, but I wonder who is tracking member lifetime lengths, and how? -Alex -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Coworking group.

Re: [Coworking] Airbnb now offer hourly desk space booking!
I talked to them well a year ago about something like this. They were starting a neighborhood ambassador program where people would be directed to the local coffee shop where they could learn the lay of the land from the proprietors. I suggested that a coworking space could serve this purpose too, but the comment I got was that they wanted to drive people to coffee shops because they'd get a chance to buy local products (like, Airbnb would help place local makers in cafes). I said, 'huh'? It seemed so convoluted and not much to do with their biz model. Anyway, that was then. It's probably time to pitch them again. Rena On Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 2:19 PM, Christian M.

Re: [Coworking] Who's tracking their membership churn?
Fun stuff! Yes, we track this stuff in Nadine and have some staff facing stats pages that show us some basic data. I'd love to dive deeper and I'm always trying to recruit data nerds that want to help develop new views into our historical data. One page we have now lists how long everyone has been a member and it's pretty fun to see how long some of our members have been here. I hesitate to expose this as a member facing tool as I don't want it to be misunderstood as rank. We don't even highlight what kind of members people are as all members are equal in our eyes. Also staff pages can be ugly and clunky and still expose the data. That said we are looking into member facing data pages both based on their own usage and the community as a whole. Lifetime value... that's all sorts of complex to calculate much less communicate...

Re: [Coworking] Who's tracking their membership churn?
I recently started calculating average monthly recurring revenue, average member lifetime, average lifetime of past members, member lifetime value, % renewal rates (which is the opposite of churn, but its a more emotionally positive metric) and cost to acquire new members. How? A lot of sweat and tears plugging formulas into spreadsheets. I was nudged into measuring these metrics after running across a blog posthttp://torquemag.io/the-four-things-subscription-businesses-have-in-common/ about subscription websites and another posthttp://blog.asmartbear.com/bootstrapped-cpc.html about Google AdWords that the first post linked to.

Re: [Coworking] Who's tracking their membership churn?
We've tracked member usage since almost day 1, which was 4yrs ago, so we can see how long a member has been here, when their anniversary date is, and what their usage patterns are. including when they change membership levels and to what level when. We also track when a person came in for a tour so we can see how long it took them to sign up. With the tracking document we can then also predict busy days or months, when a member is likely to be on vacation, if they paused their membership with some consistency, etc. but also we can see when someone checks out (a significant drop in usage) and then mark their official last day, so we do have that attrition data. I added weather and temperature last year, but have been diligent since Jan 1 of this year, in addition to significant events and promotions for the space (Coworking Day, #FiverFri, member potlucks, movie nights, boardgame nights, pub nights, meetups) and significant things in the city or neighbourhood (elections, transit woes, festivals, local and international tech and marketing conferences, demonstrations, construction inconvenience, etc) so that I can compare usage to weather and civic disruptions or events. I have a hypothesis for weather vs usage that I'm hoping I'll able to prove, but as I said I've only been diligent this calendar year and I'd like to get more than 3mos before I consider it proven. Winter in Canada isn't fair to judge member usage or tour frequency. And since we're a small space, I do this with Google spreadsheets. It's also a shared document with my community managers which indicates who are key holders, contact info, and emergency contact info. r.
