Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Coworking and Business Savings.
Our job is to make best-in-class solutions more affordable for the businesses who need them to grow, create jobs, and change their local ecosystems.
With all the hype around Black Friday in the retail/consumer world, and Cyber Monday in the ecommerce world, we’ve been asked a number of times if we’ll be putting out even bigger savings on either of the two days.
Our answer is NO. But what’s more important than that, is why not…
We leverage the shared aggregate buying-power, of (at time of writing) over 20,000 members across 243 coworking and entrepreneurial communities, to always always always get the best possible prices.
Not for a day or two; but every single day, all year, every year.
This makes us focus on securing long-term, non-bait-and-switch, transparent deals for growing businesses. It also means we can find and work with superb vendors who truly want to build long-term business relationships through supporting passionate teams around the globe.
Having said that, it cannot be ignored that this shared buying-power is not something we own. It is merely lent to us by the amazing community operators and members who trust included.co to always put their best interests first. This trust means the world to us, and is so much more important than a spike in sales between thanksgiving and the new year.
There’s obviously nothing wrong with offering a discount or perk on these days, or even claiming or using them. Quite the opposite actually, it’s just that from a business it detracts focus from our long-term global mission.
And so, we’d prefer keep focussed on securing new recurring savings, spreading joy through our global gift exchange and making sure entrepreneurial communities all over the world are more valuable and sustainable than ever before.
We really do hope you understand, and wish you the very best in the lead up to the festive season.
We tweet @includedco if you have any questions or would like to follow the latest updates from our mission to enable entrepreneurship everywhere.
