A Virtual Office Can Add A Professional Image for Your Business!

During the initial stages of building your business, I am sure you have heard about the importance of setting up a commercial office location. A physical location that is zoned for business speaks volumes for your company and it’s operations.

If you decide to use your home address for your company, keep in mind some lenders may not extend credit to a “home-based” business. But if you are adamant about having a commercial address but cannot afford renting out traditional office space and hiring someone to manage your calls, mail, files etc., then having a Virtual Office is what you need.

Give Your Freelance Career the Professional Edge it Needs with a Virtual Office

You work when you want, how you want, where you want, and for the most part, you can even wear whatever you want while you’re getting the job done! Ah, the fabulous life of the modern freelancer. From writers, graphic designers, and business consultants to court reporters, photographers and even professional dog trainers, every successful freelancer needs a technology and communications system to help them run their business and have a trust that their back is covered at all times. A swanky and impressive meeting room that is always at the ready can be crucial when trying to set yourself (and your business) apart from all of the competition.

Sound like something you can relate to? Just because you do not have to report to a traditional, stationary office space day in and day out, does not mean that you are any less in demand than your office going counterparts. You’re a pro! So give your business the professional edge it needs with a virtual office suite and/or meeting room package from Executive Office Suites!

Whether you’ve been in “the business” for years, are just now branching out on your own as a freelancer, or are contemplating doing so, make sure to give us a call.

What’s Trending: Workplace Trends to Watch in 2013

Executive Office SuitesWith the beginning of each new year comes the unique opportunity to both reflect on events, trends and “happenings” of the previous year while also looking ahead to what new and innovative trends can be expected in the twelve months ahead.

2012 saw significant positive growth and expansion in the virtual officing world, and here at Executive Office Suites we have been enjoying the increased attention that the world of the virtual office has been receiving over the past couple of years. So, with the limelight shining ever brighter on our industry, what then can we expect to see when it comes to workplace trends in 2013? Here are a few things to watch out for this year:

1) A virtual office boom: Savvy companies around the world will continue to utilize virtual offices to expand into new arenas and maximize their global presence. With offices around the world, offering impressive addresses and top-notch services and amenities, Executive Office Suites is always at the ready when it comes to serving the busy mobile professional.

2) Increased disaster preparedness: The devastation caused by super-storm Sandy has increased the attention that is being placed on disaster preparedness and how we can better equip our businesses in times of trauma. The flexibility afforded to virtual office users is unmatched by traditional, static office spaces and allows mobile entrepreneurs to move locations when disaster – or simply their mood – strikes.

3) Work options galore: From hot-desking, home-working, co-working, virtual officing, telecommuting and much more, the days of sitting in a cubicle from 9 – 5 are long gone. While some may still continue to work that way, the good news is that you don’t have to! Choices are never a bad thing. What’s more, when it comes to office expenses, the price of office space ranks just below payroll costs. Look to see companies utilizing temporary and virtual work options more than ever before as a way to increase their flexibility in work styles while decreasing their monthly office space expenditures.

With Executive Office Suites’s extensive list of flexible virtual office space options, we will always keep you on the cutting edge of workspace innovations – keeping you right in line with today’s latest and greatest trendsetters.

Tech Trends: Is Your Workspace Pushing the Right Buttons?

Tech trends

Technology is shaping and influencing the way we run our lives at work, at home and everywhere in-between. It’s ingrained in everything we do and it’s developing at an incredible pace, fueled by social behavior and an insatiable appetite to have everything ‘now’. Remember when IT lessons at school felt a little alien? Not anymore. The next generation is growing up surrounded by technology, with the same appetite for knowledge and collaboration that we as business people demand today.

So the multi-million pound question – and the one that fascinates the human race – is what’s next for technology?

A recent article on Real Business by Vanessa Zainzinger unearthed some fascinating trends about technology and how it’s about to turn the way we do business on its head.

The culture of immediacy

We live in a world where we want everything yesterday. From music downloads and streaming movies to answering that annoying question, we want information at our fingertips – and the internet gives us instant gratification.

In this must-have-now culture, businesses are expected to adapt. Whether it’s a booking system with online payments or immediate customer service, clients expect immediacy. Workspace operators can tackle this in many different ways – such as checking their customer service protocols and assessing their online presence. Those with coworking or meeting spaces should have an online booking facility, and centers can assess their ‘immediacy’ by making sure their websites as user-friendly as possible – ensuring they are delivering the right information to clients quickly and accurately.

Collaboration and sharing

When bank funding is hard to come by, businesses get creative. Crowdfunding is one such solution. It’s a way of generating funds through people power and it’s all part of our sharing ethos and collaborative culture, the same concept which is made possible by social networks and which has fuelled sites such as eBay and Airbnb. If you can share goods, rooms, parking spaces and even cars, why not share money – and use it to invest in something that you believe in?

Zainzinger describes it as “rebooting” the business world, a move that was inspired by public anger at Wall Street, bank bonuses and interest rates. “It has enabled a new channel for business growth,” she says. “Now, crowdfunding lets you generate funding, build customer feedback, market and improve your product, all in one, without any significant upfront investment.”

Continuing the sharing concept in business, Spacedadi is one tool that’s actively bringing the workspace industry closer together by encouraging operators to market each other’s space. This culture of openness and sharing is expected to develop rapidly over the next few years, so operators should use it to get their workspace ‘out there’. Market it through systems like Spacedadi and you’ll not only help to sell your space and your competitors’ space (earning a commission while you’re at it), they can return the favor too – meaning you’re also sharing the marketing burden. In short, sharing helps the world go around.

The real era of mobile

Gartner predicts that in 2013, mobile devices will overtake desktop PCs as the most common web access tools. This has triggered a BYOD boom and means that barriers to market are quickly shrinking. As we have written about so much on Officing Today, it is essential that your work space website is adapted for mobile. And if users can book online through their device, you’re already ahead of the curve and ready to welcome Gen Y in their droves.

This is driving concepts such as ‘talent as a service’ – based on the idea that thanks to mobile technology, businesses can hire talent anywhere in the world. By 2020, ‘talent as a service’ is expected to impact one-third of professionals worldwide. This breaking down of geographical boundaries means that the traditional workplace will continue to change, and alternative forms of officing such as the virtual office and coworking will keep growing.

It shows that technology and workplace are intrinsically linked. It’s an exciting time for the workspace industry and equally, a time when the industry is expected to be at the forefront of alternative workplace solutions, with the tools to let mobile businesses find and book space online whenever they want. And we all know that businesses want it ‘now’. So instead of waiting until your front desk opens at 9am to accept a booking, accelerate your business by embracing technology and providing that ‘instant gratification’.

What is your business centre doing to address these demands and stay ahead of the curve?

Virtual Mobile OfficeTexting while driving can be dangerous – and can even get you pulled over in some cities. But a man in Germany took remote work to a whole new level.

According to The Associated Press, German police say they nabbed a driver who had wired his Ford station wagon with an entire mobile office, creating the equivalent of a virtual office space.

“Built on a wooden frame on his passenger seat they found a laptop on a docking station tilted for easy driver access, a printer, router, wireless internet stick, WLAN antenna, and an inverter to power it all,” the AP reports. “A navigation system and cell phone mounted to the windshield completed the array.”

If this doesn’t show the mobile workforce trend is catching on, what does? As business center owners and operators are well aware, mobile workers are on the rise. But hard statistics drive the point home. By 2015, the world’s mobile worker population will reach 1.3 billion, representing 37.2 percent of the total workforce, according to IDC.

“Despite recent market turmoil, mobility continues to be a critical part of the global workforce and we expect to see healthy growth in the number of mobile workers,” said Stacy Crook, senior research analyst for IDC’s Mobile Enterprise Research program. “Our forecast shows that the worldwide mobile worker population will increase from just over 1 billion in 2010 to more than 1.3 billion by 2015.”

What’s more, Forrester Research estimates 66% of information workers in North America and Europe already work remotely. Over time, Forrester predicts this trend will have profound implications for everything from the location and design of offices, to IT’s provisioning of technology, to how business leaders marshal expertise.

Is your business center ready to accommodate the demands of the mobile workforce? With a mobile workforce working from remote locations, business centers should expect more foot traffic – but business centers that market their serviced office space as mobile worker friendly will lead the charge.

Many mobile workers may be yet unaware of the availability of day offices and meeting rooms. Savvy business centers are commuting the message to large corporations and entrepreneurs alike. How do you do this?

For starters, be sure to include language on your website – preferably an entire webpage – dedicated to marketing your services to mobile workers. Use keywords like “mobile workers” on those web pages so you will come up in the Google search results. Show mobile workers that you understand their needs by listing services that appeal to their pain points. Treat the mobile workforce as a niche – a niche that’s worth plenty as business evolves.
