[Coworking] Coworking Tour (via JetBlue?)

2009-08-19 Thread Kyle Mulka
Dear coworking peoples, I've been thinking about doing a tour of coworking places in different cities. Because JetBlue is offering an all-you-can fly deal for $599, this might be a good opportunity to actually do it. http://www.jetblue.com/deals/all-you-can-jet/ So, if you are open to me

We do offer drop-ins, but have/have had very few of them--so, not enough to have that variety flavor to which Tony alludes. On the other hand, we do have many people use our free trial day, so if you count that as a drop-in Drop in business may change as we now have the public

Drop-ins not only make up a fair part of our revenue, but as I've mentioned to Tony, have a fairly high conversion rate to membership. Because our basic membership is priced at the same rate as our daily rate, it's pretty easy to say if you are going to come back again any time this month, it
