BLANKSPACES, LA's Premiere Collaborative Work Space, Helps Build Business and Proves Coworking Can Pay for Itself

LOS ANGELES, CA, Jan 12 (MARKET WIRE) --
Centralizing business professionals in one productive setting is not only
cost effective; it is a business builder. Independent professionals who
come together in a common business space at BLANKSPACES, a modern,
coworking office space community in Los Angeles, have found that getting
to know other entrepreneurs has perks beyond what they expected.

In just eight months, since BLANKSPACES opened its doors, 25% of the
entrepreneurs using the space have already acquired business or
collaborated with others they met there -- and the number is increasing
fast. "Your next client could be sitting right next to you," says
BLANKSPACES founder, Jerome Chang.

Internal marketing consultant, Robert Richman, is proof of Chang's theory:
"I've only been at BLANKSPACES for a few months and I've already landed
three clients here. The environment is perfect because you can easily
focus on work, but there's also a community of entrepreneurs and
freelancers to network and socialize with," he states. Taking advantage
of the skills of other professionals has a ripple effect, which benefits
everyone. "When you first walk into the space, you are introduced to
everyone with an excitement about whom you need to meet," says social
networking consultant and BLANKSPACES member, Michael Liskin. "I am now
consulting a small-business coaching company called One Coach, who sits
across the hall. In return, One Coach has begun coaching business owners
within the BLANKSPACES community."

In less than a year, BLANKSPACES has acquired over 150 members from a
variety of professions from IT, PR consultants, record labels, graphic
designers and writers, all of which have access to unlimited collaboration
to build their business. With today's economic condition, it's an ideal,
cost-effective environment that promotes effortless, face-to-face
networking and high-end office perks.

Members can also participate in attending regularly scheduled seminars
with industry leaders, as well as a monthly happy hour series called
Freelancer Fridays, both additional opportunities for networking and
business referrals. Event space is also available for networking and
social events, which many influential groups have already taken advantage
of.
