Big news, Spark Commons members! We’re excited to announce that Spark Commons is transitioning to a self-service model. This means more flexibility and independence for our amazing community. Here’s a quick guide to what this transition entails and answers to all the questions you might have.

1. What Does Self-Service Mean?
​Self-service at Spark Commons is all about independence! Members will let themselves in and out of the facility using unique codes. It also means we’re asking everyone to help keep the space tidy by loading the dishwasher, reporting low supplies through our ticketing system, and ensuring the front door remains locked behind them. The last person to leave also gets the honor of turning off the lights!

Life is a wild ride, isn't it? At Spark Commons, we understand that life throws a mix of challenges, celebrations, and big transitions at all of us. That’s why we’re here for every stage, offering the space, community, and resources to help you keep moving forward—whatever life brings your way. 

Whether you're a job seeker, and empty nester, or a newlywed, coworking can serve a meaningful purpose along the way.

Let’s take a look at how Spark Commons can support you through all these moments!

​Small business owners are no strangers to juggling a million things at once. When time and resources are stretched thin, decisions often come down to what feels most urgent at the moment. This scarcity of time and energy can lead to a mindset where owners feel they have to handle everything themselves or risk things slipping through the cracks. Unfortunately, this mentality can result in key tasks being delayed or avoided altogether—costing businesses money in the long run.

When it comes to running a small business, your reputation is everything. In today’s digital age, where information is readily available at everyone’s fingertips, managing that reputation has never been more critical. But why should small businesses care so much about what people say about them online?

​We all know the value of word-of-mouth marketing. There’s nothing more powerful than someone personally recommending your business to a friend. However, in today’s landscape, those word-of-mouth recommendations are amplified and digitized. A Google review, a Facebook recommendation, or an Instagram shout-out can be seen by thousands—if not millions—of potential customers, giving your business exposure beyond just your immediate circle.
