Hi there! My name is Karl and along with some other people I am trying to start a hacker/maker space in the city of Norwich, in Norfolk. In order to do this we are seeking funding and to help us apply for this funding we need to do a little market research. Therefore I wonder if you would mind helping me by answering a few questions?
Q1: How many active members do you have currently, and how much do they pay for membership?
Q2: How long have you been going?
Q3: How many members did you start with and how did membership numbers progress?
Q4: Do you advertise your space at all? If so how and where do you advertise and what is your advertising budget?
Q5: Do you have any other forms of income than memberships, for example donations or charges you make for equipment or venue hire etc.
Q6: What are your costs, for example utilities, rubbish collection, rent etc.
I am very grateful for any help you may be able to give, and thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!
Kindest regards
Karl Ablitt.
