Bragging about your space won’t get you anywhere

There’s a funny thing that happens when businesses brag about their products or services: they actually lose people’s affection rather than gaining it.Why?Because people generally empathize more with an underdog than an overdog. I know what you’re thinking: what does this have to do with my coworking space?The fundamental message here is that using the content you create to simply brag about how great your space, service, and amenities are isn’t going to fly with people. It’s offputting. Instead, create content with a graceful humility.
