Need more members? Here are 21 directories to promote your workspace on
Some call them brokers, others call them workspace agencies, directories, consultancies or apps. Semantics aside, listing your workspace with one – or a few – of them can help you get more members. There are a few things to consider before signing up though.
Each workspace broker offers something a little different. Before you register your spaces’ details with one, make sure you know what they’re all about. There’s no point spending time sourcing the best images of your space if it doesn’t fall into their remit geographical reach.
Ask yourself:
Where do they list? (Some are city-specific whereas others are national or global.)
How much commission do they charge? (Brokers typically receive 10% of the rent when they place a tenant with you.)
Is it free to list my space? (The majority won’t charge you.)
How will they let me know if someone’s interested in my space? (Do they “qualify” leads, i.e. check if the person/business is suitable for your space.)
Do they have an app that potential members can use to book desk space?
When you register, you’ll have to provide details and high-resolution images of your space so the broker/directory can create a high-quality listing on their website.
They’ll also ask you for information relating to the size of your building (how many desks), what amenities you have and whether or not you run social events.
It’s important that you tell them who you’re looking for. For example, if your space is designed for people working in the non-profit or social enterprise sector, make that clear.
The directory will use the information you provide to craft a unique description for their own website. They might also promote your workspace in their newsletter or social media channels. Let them know if you’re running any offers (e.g. 20% off the first months’ rent).
