Seasonal Times: How to Attract and Engage Seasonal Workers & Digital Nomads
Digital nomads and seasonal workers are chasing new experiences—and workspaces. Capture their energy! Learn how to offer irresistible promos, extend your hours, and build community. Hotdesk is your partner to fill desks and thrive, no matter the season.
The world of work is more flexible than ever. Remote professionals and digital nomads are always on the move, chasing new experiences and vibrant communities. Their travel patterns often sync with local surges: summer holidays, winter escapes, festivals, big events. If you’re a coworking host, these moments are your chance to turn quiet months into fully booked calendars.
Why Seasonal Times Matter for Coworking Spaces
No matter where you are in the world, every region has its rhythm. These windows bring fresh energy and new connections. Whether it’s summer in the northern hemisphere, ski season down south, or a city-wide festival, seasonal times are golden opportunities to welcome ambitious professionals, seasonal workers, and digital nomads.
How to Attract the Seasonal Crowd
Tech That Just Works
Fast Wi-Fi, plenty of power outlets, and seamless check-in via Hotdesk? Non-negotiable. Make sure your amenities are front and center in your listing, and keep everything running smoothly. No one wants a tech hiccup when they’re on the move.
Build instant trust:
- Note the average internet speed of your space somewhere and showcase it “Average 300 Mbps down / 200 up. Backup 5G hotspot available.”
- Power everywhere: multi-plug strips at every table, spare USB‑C/Lightning chargers at the front desk.
Flexibility is Everything
Seasonal workers and digital nomads crave options. Offer daily, weekly, or even hourly passes. Highlight your flexible booking options, make it a breeze for guests to drop in, stay a while, or extend their visit. The easier it is, the more likely they’ll choose you.
Promos you can launch fast:
- Create pass names that match the season: “Festival Week Pass,” “Snowbird 30,” or “Weekend Nomad Pass (Fri–Mon).”
- Time-boxed promos: “SUN25” for June–August weekday passes, “POWDER10” during ski weeks. Mention validity dates in your listing and updates.
- Hourly micro-access for event days: 2–4 hour focus blocks between sessions. Perfect for speakers and crew.
Be time‑zone friendly
Seasonal crowds don’t always work 9–5. Some are on Dubai, New York or Singapore hours. If possible extend or shift your opening hours during surges and offer quiet, late-night zones.
Offers that win the early and late risers:
- Summer extended hours: 6 a.m.–10 p.m., clearly displayed in your Hotdesk listing and Google Business Profile.
- “Midnight Focus Room” during festivals with do-not-disturb signage, dim lighting, and monitored access for safety.
- “Early Bird Pod” bundles: 6–9 a.m. discounted blocks for sunrise workers; include free coffee before 8 a.m.
Showcase Local Perks
Partner with nearby cafés, gyms, or wellness studios to offer exclusive deals. Share insider tips about the neighbourhood—where to find the best coffee, hidden lunch spots, or must-see attractions. That local touch? It’s what makes your space unforgettable.
Be the local plug:
- Perk cards at check-in: “Show this to get 15% off at Bean & Co.” Include a QR code to a Google Map of your top 10 spots.
- Seasonal gear partners: surfboard rental discount in summer, ski-tune shop in winter, yoga studio in festival week.
- “Local Lunch Table” at 1 p.m. daily—invite members and staff to join. Simple, free, sticky.
Curate Experiences, Not Just Spaces
Go beyond desks and Wi-Fi. Host community breakfasts, networking sessions, or local discovery tours. These experiences help guests feel at home and turn your space into a buzzing hub for connection.
Events that build community fast:
- “Monday Kickoff” breakfast during peak months: 30 minutes, coffee + intros, 1 local tip per person. Post the schedule in your listing.
- Festival-week lightning talks with local founders or creators. Stream a 20-minute talk, then open tables for coworking.
- “Work + Walk” tours on Fridays: 60-minute neighbourhood walk with 3 hidden gems. Cap attendance; announce it via your Hotdesk message templates.
Personal Touches Go a Long Way
A warm welcome matters. Greet guests by name, remember their preferences, and check in to see how their stay is going. Small gestures create loyal fans who’ll return—and tell their friends.
Turn guests into regulars:
- Welcome card with Wi‑Fi QR, your name, and two hyper-local tips (“Best flat white: Two blocks down. Quiet sunset spot: Riverside steps.”).
- Mid‑week/day/hour pulse check: a quick Hotdesk message—“How’s the setup? Anything we can tweak for you?”
- Seasonal care: sunscreen + iced water in summer; blanket throws + hot cocoa in winter. Low cost, high smile factor.
