Howdy and thank you for taking this quick survey! We have a few questions for you to gauge interest on something called a "coworking space."

So what exactly is a coworking space, you ask? In a nutshell, it's a space where people can come together to work, collaborate, exchange ideas, brainstorm, and be a part of a community that supports each other's goals. You can work quietly by yourself or turn and chat with a neighbor. You're out of your house, out of the coffee shop, and meeting new people, utilizing the conference rooms with clients or your team, eating lunch with a new friend in the kitchen, or playing darts to clear your head when you need a good idea. And what's cool about OUR coworking space is that it's dedicated solely to creative-types just like you! Sound good? We think so too.

By answering just a few questions, we'll be able to create the space that's just what you're looking for. Need a photography studio? Looking for a private video editing bay? Need access to a craft room or a large conference room? Let us know! We are currently in the process of building out the space and we are relying heavily on YOUR input to decide exactly what goes in and what doesn't.

We sincerely appreciate your time in taking this survey, and as a reward, we are offering a $5 Starbucks gift card for the first 20 people who respond to this survey! So get going with the survey, or continue reading for some more cool info about our vision.

Still reading? Here are some other great things we hope to implement with this space:

-Eco-friendly and sustainable practices, from renovation materials to lightbulbs, recyclable paper, using dishware instead of disposables, etc. We will source local supplies (coffee, tea, furniture, etc) as much as possible.
-We will keep our price points very affordable so that you can have space in an office, but not be stressed about the overhead costs of leasing office space.
-We genuinely want to support you, the small business owner. We want to see you thrive and reach your goals and we will do as much as we can to help you get to where you want to be!
-The space will be designed with your needs in mind-- we want it to be bright, airy, spacious, filled with plants and beautiful furniture. We want to stimulate your creativity and collaboration... not stifle it!

There's so much more to tell you, but we can get to that later. If you're interested in getting involved from the beginning, please email shala@swcreatives.com. Or check out our meet-up group for the next interest meeting: www.meetup.com/Silver-Spring-Creative-Coworkers

Thanks again for your time. Now... on to the survey...
