[Coworking] Re: Attn: Small CW spaces-- how fast is your internet?

2019-03-18 Thread Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking
Hey AK,

Internet is one of those things that you want to have better than most but 
you don't need to go overboard. 24 down does seem slow for today's 
expectations. It would likely feel slow when you have six people on it or 
when people do video calls. I would recommend you go up to the 75 plan. 
Another thing to look into is your router and access points. This are on 
off upgrades that can make the experience a lot smoother.

[Coworking] Re: Getting Rooms Booked

2019-03-18 Thread Felicity Maxwell
Peerspace is a great option - particularly if you have a community manager 
or staff person who has time to respond quickly to inquiries.   I also 
recommend doing some generic google searches to see which websites come up 
first for your city & the type of space you have.

So for example you can search "boardroom + city name" or "meeting space + 
neighborhood".  In Austin, peerspace is usually one of the top 2-3 
listings, along with Liquidspace.  But in other cities, it might be Yelp, 
or Craigslist, etc.  Seeing which platforms get the highest results can 
help to figure out where to put your energy (and ad money if that is an 
option).  And keep in mind, both Liquidspace and peerspace give higher 
performing spaces more SEO weight, so the other thing is to make sure you 
get good reviews.  

Another option is to send share your meeting room details with local 
meeting professional associations, or office manager groups. If you let 
them know what is available the next time they have to plan an offsite, it 
makes their job easier.   And if you know an office manager, maybe come 
have them tour the space and find out what they like / don't like about 
your available rooms.  Sometimes a small price change or adding a white 
board can make a room much more appealing to potential bookers.  

HTH & good luck, 
Felicity

Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking for Therapists/Counselors

This is a great idea. I am learning more on this as I would want to embark
on this layout in a new workspace that I am about to establish.

Good thinking.

[Coworking] Do you require Hot Desk users to schedule or walk-in?

2019-03-18 Thread AK
Wondering. Since we have limited space that we want to get maximum use out 
of, should we require our "hot desk" users to pre-schedule or at least 
call?  I hate to turn people away, but feel in order to accommodate, people 
should plan.

We are a small space owner and may not even open if people are not using it 
for the day.

Feedback welcome.
