Hey and welcome to the penultimate newsletter of 2024!
In the last "full week" of the year we explore.. get this... 4 datasets, 7 market moves, 6 discussions, 3 tech updates and MORE.
Wishing you and yours a happy, safe, and healthy festive season.
Before we dive in, a quick word from this week's sponsor Archie :
Do these sound familiar?
Migrating coworking software sounds like a nightmare. Will I have to handle all the data transfers by myself? What about the integrations? Will members need to update their payment methods? And what if I lose members during the switch?
We get it. Making a change can seem overwhelming, but it’s often the right move to improve your operations and give your members a better experience. If your current software is frustrating, missing features, or costing too much, it might be time to switch—especially since Archie can handle the migration for you.
