πŸ’° Almost 141M reasons to (re)consider your aggregator listings

Time and time again we hear discussions between flex space operators regarding the ROI of lead- and sales-generating aggregator platforms.

So when we put together the Hot Seats panel for the GWA‘s conference in Phoenix, we started with the total aggregate volume of US dollars the participating platforms (Alliance Virtual Offices, The Instant Group and Preferred Office Network) actually put into operators pockets this year to date.

That number? $140,988,491. In this video, you can hear the reaction of the audience when we shared this on stage. Next week we’ll also share a summary of the panel, including the whole slide deck (which includes 5 other never-been-shared-before data sets).

PS. Work at an aggregator? I’d love to include your data sets into an aggregated global report on the impact and activities of flex space aggregators. Reply to the email version, or reach out to me directly, to get involved.

Caroline Hecht shared that Preferred Office Network have shared their most recent annual State of Flex Survey Report, following a survey of 230 brands operating 940+ locations in 15 countries.

81% of operators are leveraging traditional leases (7% use management agreements, 7% have some form of rev share and 5% own their buildings). Interestingly, almost 100% of operators have some form of meeting room booking management tech, but less than 80% use a CRM, and about 40% use Mail Management platforms.

As for market stability, survey respondents have been in business for an average of 17 years, with 44% being in business for over 20 years. Looking forward, 39% plan to expand this year.
