292. Your Coworking Space Doesn’t Have to Be Different, It Has to Be Right
How much focus should you put on creating a “unique/different” Coworking space?
While some differentiation can be helpful in attracting customers, it's not the factor that will drive success. A coworking space that differentiates itself with unique features or services may attract some customers, but if those features or services aren't aligned with the needs and preferences of the target market, the space may struggle to attract and retain customers.
On the other hand, a coworking space that has a strong product market/fit, even if it doesn't differentiate itself much from other coworking spaces in the area, is more likely to be successful. By offering the amenities and services that its target market needs and wants, and by creating a sense of community and collaboration, the coworking space can build a loyal customer base and stand out from competitors in the eyes of its customers.
On this episode, we talk about why “different” doesn’t matter…what does matter is getting the model right.
