New Year. Better Service.
2010 was a great year. We wouldn’t say it was easy, but we definitely learned a lot of valuable lessons on how to better serve our community.
One lesson in particular is the way people utilized the space. When we opened coIN, we walked into it with the assumption that folks would want to put down roots and make it their headquarters. Over time, we’ve learned that people actually preferred the convenience of having a conference room, free wifi, and natural networking opportunities, 1-2 times every couple weeks, not every week of the month. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough flexibility in our pricing structure to accommodate that type of usage. However, we made sure it was the first thing we brainstormed solutions for during our 2011 planning.
To address the need for increased flexibility we’ve come up with a new approach. Our goal was to break away from the monthly recurring fees, and spread access to the space out over a longer period of time.
The new pricing structure is as follows:
3-day Punch-Card for $50. You have 60-days to use it.
12-day Punch-Card for $150. You have 60-days to use it.
Unlimited Monthly Access for $200. You work at coIN whenever you want.
Another important change will be the addition of education and training programs. We’re currently working our way through content for our first program now. You’ll most likely hear more information about that in the coming weeks. We’re calling it an “Investor Pitch Accelerator”. We think you’re really going to love it. GUMBO!, our collaborative brainstorming event, will also be making a few appearances as well.
One thing we didn’t do a great job of promoting last year was space rental. If you have an event you think The coIN Loft would be the perfect venue for, give us a call, shoot us an email or get in touch with us via Facebook or Twitter. It doesn’t matter if you want to teach a class, hold a networking event, have a birthday party; the space is open for that. We have very competitive rates and would love to work with you. We also have catering available for events as well.
As you can see, we are dedicated to providing the best service we possibly can. The Delaware entrepreneurial community really means a lot to us. We know first hand how hard it is to grow a business here so, we’re doing our best to create an easier way. Thank you all very much for your on-going support. Have an incredible 2011!! We look forward to working with you soon.
