HOW TO ATTRACT MORE PEOPLE TO YOUR COWORKING SPACE

The coworking trend in India has witnessed immense demand and growth in the past couple of years and is expected to keep on going strong in the future as well. A direct consequence to this trend is on the other hand also creating a huge demand for shared coworking spaces in India. We at The UnCube realize this immense demand, and have thus created an online platform which collates & curates premium coworking spaces, where remote workers can compare multiple coworking locations available for rent and make the best decision possible.

Remote workers usually have a lot of unique needs and requirements which usually become influencing factors when they are looking for a workspace to work and collaborate.

In this article, we discuss a few pointers which helps such locations become attractive to remote workers.

ROBUST CONNECTIVITY

It is pretty obvious that a shared coworking space needs to have solid connectivity. Without robust and reliable connectivity, the entire concept of remote working is compromised. Your coworking space may an architectural marvel, but if the Internet is not as per the remote worker’s expectations, things will go south very soon. Do make sure that your coworking space is wireless friendly and strong signals connectivity can be achieved at each corner, nook, and cranny.

Remote workers who book shared coworking spaces expects blazingly fast Internet. Although there can never be enough Internet bandwidth, an Internet connection between 6 and 16 Mbps works pretty well and can handle multiple connections easily without lagging.

To ensure uninterrupted connectivity, establish a strong relationship with your Internet provider and keep a few Internet dongles handy as backups, in case something goes wrong.

CONCIERGE SERVICES

Another crucial factor which makes a coworking space more attractive to remote workers is concierge services. You wouldn’t want your clients to keep pacing back and forth across the coworking space get stationery, printouts, etc. Have an person available at all times, to whom the remote can reach out to, for menial tasks such as reloading printer cartridges & paper, stationery, etc. After all you are providing a paid service, and thus must meet and exceed the expectations of your clients.

Also make sure that someone is always available at your location, who can set up projectors, flat screens, and other equipment, whenever needed.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE SERVICE

Most coworking spaces usually don’t include a food & beverage service. Remote workers on the other, also don’t give this much thought as they can simply order food and beverages online. But the presence of a dedicated service at the location itself goes a long way in creating a better experience for them. Thus, having an in-house food & beverage service definitely makes a shared coworking space more attractive to remote workers.

You can either create a specialized in-house pantry menu, filled with many delectable dishes, snacks, and beverages for a unique remote working experience or partner with a food chain or restaurant to provide a great experience as well as a decent food & beverage service to your clients, to make your shared coworking space more attractive.

BUILD A COMMUNITY

The coworking community is a tight knit community, filled with passionate innovators and freelancers. They are aware of the challenges of working remotely and yet have decided to leave the daily nine to five grind for a more flexible and liberal work environment.

To make your shared coworking space more attractive to such individuals, it a good idea to host regular socializing events and engagements. This allows your clients to better bond as a community and even draw in other remote workers to your location. This way they can collaborate and make new contacts and relations while also having fun and letting loose.

The UnCube is well aware of these factors which make a shared coworking space more attractive to remote workers. That is why our online platform and mobile app offers remote workers with the ability to compare multiple coworking spaces available for rent based on their location, budget, available amenities and other facilities to make the best informed decision ever.
