Commercial Opportunities for Marketing and Promotions Services Auckland

I am getting really excited about potential of having a commercial space you know it could really fix a lot of the problems we have here at kurb so I’m looking for that perfect spot.

What are the positives I’m looking forward to if we have a new spot to conduct all of our kurb business under one roof?

Well firstly I could live there, there’s a kitchen and shower, - no washing machine I guess, but that’s enough and I could possibly have other people staying. That’s what I’m thinking I could go halves with somebody else in business.

There’s a number of options there – I know a creative friend who could move in, or maybe even one of my employees, or I could go for another business or just a flatmate. My objective is to raise $3-400 so we’ll look at the options later.

Also it’s a commercial space and there’s plenty of it for storing, working whatever – no it doesn’t have main street frontage – in fact despite being on the city fringe it’s really tucked away, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still do a little bit of retailing as it still is in the city and it’s close to khyber pass one of the busiest roads in the country. It would be a great drop off and pick up point for clients.

Also for creative ideas it would amazing to have all that space – there’s plenty of room for building a video set to push forward my video stuff or have a practice space or even have gigs and parties or some kind of event.

But it comes back to one thing, if I am to carry on the lease I am going to need an extra $400 income. I can sublet the space, or I can look at other ways I could use the space to make extra money.

Ideas include:

rent 2 of the carparks for $40 p/week

band practice space – 5 evening a week I could make $150 for band practices

Event or gig – an event we hold monthly could generate up to $1000

pirate zone – what if I bought the pirates to me 12pm – 4 pm every saturday and sunday, $10p/hour p/child, 20 kids a day for 2 hours = $400 p/day!

Straight retail – this would take work, but the fact that we could store a lot of materials mean we could slowly build this up to make $100-200 p/week.

But also it would mean we have the space to conduct more extensive video shoots for clients.

But the fact that we have so much space means there’s always space for setting up another operation just to see how it goes.

What would be the realistic “ultimate” situation?

Having

somebody who pays $200-250 for general use of the space. = $250 p/week

Having 2 bands and 2 parks who both pay $40 p/week to practice/park = $160 p/week

Have one event p/month to raise $1000 = $250 p/week

Build up retail to the tune of $100 p/week = $100 p/week

That would more than cover the rent alone!

So the living situation I could have 2 people staying and charge them $400 but I wouldn’t have much control over the space for things practices and events. Events and practices that kind of thing would take a bit of effort, it would be a matter of trying different things, seeing what comes up, and going with it but I am pretty confident I can raise the funds with 3 months to prepare.

I have already begun writing an ad even though I dont know if it will be available.

Want to live or work or both in a massive crusty warehouse on the edge on the Mt. Eden edge of the cbd – we’re doing funky creative new school business and we’re looking for someone to share this space in a fully productive way. So whether you’re steaming ahead in creative and industrious way, or just keen to sit back in amidst the buzz with cool people who are doing their thing in a different way - get in touch!

Looking for someone most likely of independent means to share a space on the city fringe / eden terrace.

I am completely open to negotiation over whether you want to use this space for commercial or residence or both, and how much room you would need, but ultimately I’m looking for someone who will respect the fact that this is my place of business foremost as well as my home – there’s plenty of space but it would be wise to make sure our activities compliment each other -

noisy machinery probably wouldn’t fit that well with me working in the front office.

The thing about this space is well, the space. If you’re looking for a place to get creative and industrious then this is it, there’s plenty of room for private space, workshop space and the kitchen is part of a large mezzanine
