AdvantEdge Workspaces Blog

Open plan workspaces aren't just the fashionable trend, they're a smart way for companies to fit more workers into the same amount of rentable space.  Ever since the "great recession" in 2008, the average square foot per employee has diminished by at least 25%. Smaller spaces and less square footage means smaller fixed costs for companies and more collaborative workspaces for employees. To that end, sharing workspace with other companies in a serviced office means getting the benefits of a cohesive office space that reduces cost without sacrificing amenities and available services.

"Marketers who threaten the Reddit community with spammy links and boring content will likely be destroyed, says Prestige Marketing. On the link-sharing site known as the 'Front Page of the Internet,' only the strong survive.

Reddit receives 2.5 billion page views per month, and thus any content that reaches the front page receives millions of views. The only way to do that without spending a lot of money is to get Reddit’s 34.9 million monthly unique visitors to 'vote up' your content.

"The decision to add a new network to your social strategy is never easy — each one takes time and resources to maintain. According to the makers of this infographic, Pinterest is a good one to add to the list.

With a high concentration of viral content (80 percent of pins are repins) and referral traffic that’s outpacing Twitter and Google+, the social curation site is already a proven traffic generator. The amount of traffic generated by Pinterest grew by 116 percent between January and August 2012.

But a previous study showed that despite the company’s growth, no Fortune 500 company CEOs were using Pinterest. (They weren’t entirely right about that. If you need inspiration, check out Cisco co-founder Sandy Lerner’s Pinterest boards for her organic farm, Ayrshire Farm.)

Domo and CEO.com assembled this handy guide to Pinterest for CEOs. It’s got statistics, best practices, and success stories all in one glance."
