    Talking Hello!

    Hey everyone! My name is Paul and I run an office building in Monmouth County, NJ. I took over this family business about three years ago and have been doing pretty well since but recently found out that I will be losing one of my largest tenants later this year. To prepare for this setback, I am looking for new ways to both bring my business into the future (some things are a bit dated around here) and also to attract new tenants. I came to this forum looking to connect with other small business owners and entrepreneurs in order to try and gain any insights I can into ways to accomplish these goals. I am most interested in learning what I can do to make my office Suites rental building stand out from the many others and also to appeal more to people looking to rent spaces. Since this forum is full of small business owners and entrepreneurs (my main consumers) I figured it was the perfect place to start! So, my questions for all of you reading this are...

    When shopping around for office space, where do you look? Websites? Papers? Radio? Billboards?
    What things have/ would draw you to a certain space/ building?
    Have you even seen a space and thought you had to have it? If so, what attracted you to it?
    How important is the community of your office building to you? example: How important is making friends/ connections at work?
    Can you think for any unique things that an office Suites manager could do to attract new tenants?

    I ask these questions because I have been entertaining the idea of organizing office happy hours/ holiday parties, setting up a break room complete with couches and television (and possibly even a small pool table), etc and would like to know how important these additions would be to the consumer (tenants).

    If you have ANY insights at all, positive or negative, I would love to hear them!

    Welcome to the forum Paul. It may be a good idea to repost most of your questions in either the "Starting" or "Managing" sub forums.
