Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Mistake #1: Cheap Furniture to Save Money The Problem: Buying low-cost furniture to cut first costs. Result: It looks cheap. (This hurts getting new members). It breaks all the time. (Members are not happy). You replace it every few years. (A higher cost in the long run). You cannot compete. It is a false saving.
-
Better Approach: Spend on quality from the start (Resiklo Miami). Think about the long term. Making members happy is the top job. A way to be different. This is true value.
-
Mistake #2: One-Size-Fits-All Furniture The Problem: The same furniture all over the space. (No choice). Result: It does not fit all the ways people work. Members are not happy. It does not appeal to many. A boring room. A lost chance.
-
Better Approach: Many different types of furniture. Many kinds of work settings. Members can choose. It appeals to more people. Happy members.
-
Mistake #3: Ignoring Ergonomics The Problem: You care more about looks than how the body feels. Result: Members complain. (They have back pain, etc.). They get less work done. They leave and give bad reviews. Health worries. This hurts your business.
-
Better Approach: Good body support is a must. Quality chairs are not a place to save. Proper desk heights. Member health is a top job. Resiklo Miami knows how.
-
Mistake #4: Not Enough Meeting Space The Problem: Not enough meeting rooms. Or bad furniture in them. Result: Members cannot meet with clients. Fights over booking. A lost chance to make money. Members are not happy. You cannot compete.
-
Better Approach: Enough meeting rooms. Quality furniture (Resiklo Miami tables). A pro room. A must-have for members. A way to make more money.
-
Mistake #5: No Community Spaces The Problem: All desks. No lounge or social spots. Result: No group feeling grows. It is just single offices. Members do not meet. They leave more often. A lost co-working value.
-
Better Approach: Set spots just for the group. Comfy lounge furniture. Social spots. A way to help people meet. This is true co-working.
