Maximizing Your Coworking Membership: A Guide for Creatives & Entrepreneurs
Coworking is more than just a place to work—it’s a community, a productivity hub, and a space designed to support your professional and creative growth. At Createscape, we want you to get the most out of your membership, so here’s a guide to making the most of everything we have to offer.
1. Attend Happy Hours & Social Events
One of the best parts of coworking is the built-in networking and social opportunities. We host happy hours, workshops, and member meetups to help you connect with like-minded professionals. These events are a great way to break the ice, share ideas, and even find collaborators for your next big project. Keep an eye on our events calendar and RSVP through the Createscape app!
2. Introduce Yourself to Other Members
Createscape is full of amazing people doing exciting work. A simple “Hey, what do you do?” can go a long way in making connections. The kitchen and patio are great places to meet people since most members go there to grab coffee or take a break. Just be mindful when approaching people in the workrooms—if someone has their headphones in and looks deeply focused, it’s probably best to catch them another time.
3. Bring Your Dog to Work (Occasionally!)
If you have a well-behaved pup, why not bring them along for a workday? It’s an easy way to spark conversations and create an inviting atmosphere. Just be mindful of others who may have allergies or aren’t as dog-friendly. Pick a lighter workday when you don’t have too many meetings, and let your furry friend help you break the ice with fellow coworkers.
4. Make the Most of Your Community
The point of coworking is to be surrounded by a community while still maintaining a focused, productive work environment. Whether you’re a freelancer, entrepreneur, or remote worker, having a professional yet social workspace can help keep you inspired and motivated. Embrace the balance—engage with people when you want to and settle into deep work when needed.
5. Book Meeting & Call Rooms in Advance
Your membership includes free meeting room hours, so take advantage of them! If you have an important client meeting or a call where you need a quiet space, be sure to book ahead through the Createscape app. Reserving a private space ensures you’ll have the professionalism and focus you need when it matters most.
6. Download the Createscape App
Speaking of the app—make sure you have it! The Createscape app allows you to book rooms, check out our bulletin board of announcements, make account updates, connect with other members, and RSVP for upcoming events. It’s the best way to stay engaged with everything happening in the space.
7. Switch Up Your Work Environment
Different workspaces can bring different energy and inspiration to your day. If you usually sit in one area, try switching it up! Move to the Treehouse for a change of pace, work in the lounge for a cozy vibe, or try out the patio on a nice day. A little variety can help boost creativity and keep things fresh.
8. Try Out the Treadmill Desks
Need a productivity boost while getting some steps in? Our treadmill desks in the Treehouse are a great way to keep moving while working. Walking while working has been shown to improve focus, energy, and overall health—so why not give it a shot?
9. Take a Break in the Relaxation Lounge
Sometimes, you just need to step away for a moment. The relaxation lounge in the Treehouse is a perfect spot for a quick reset. Whether you need to stretch, meditate, or even take a short power nap, this space is designed for you to recharge and come back to work refreshed.
10. Talk to Our Community Managers
Not sure how to get more involved? Have an idea for an event or looking to connect with like-minded people? Our Community Managers are here to help! Let us know what you’re working on, and we can introduce you to other members who might be a great fit for collaboration or networking.
11. Additional Tips for a Great Coworking Experience
Bring noise-canceling headphones if you like working in open areas but need to focus.
Use lockers or storage areas for convenience if you don’t want to carry everything back and forth each day.
Respect shared spaces by cleaning up after yourself in the kitchen and common areas.
Engage with the bulletin board to stay in the loop about new opportunities and community updates.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Whether it’s tech issues, room bookings, or networking, we’re here to support you.
By following these tips, you can make the most of your Createscape membership and create a work experience that’s productive, inspiring, and full of community connections. See you around the space!
