Virtual Office With Mail Forwarding - Of Interest To WAHMs in the UK?

[RegThomas]

I work for a virtual office provider. We're wondering if we should market more to women.

Do readers know what a virtual office is and are they something entrepreneurial women in the UK would be seeking in significant numbers?

Just trying to get a feel for the market.

Thank you.

Reg I'm sure there would be, for the simple fact that if one adheres to the DSR (distance selling requirements - i.e., the law!) - then it's mandatory to have a physical address on the website. However, for numerous reasons people (women in particular) don't want to do this.

I'd go for selling more "mailboxes + addresses" than physical bums on seats.

I'd agree.

A menu of commitment levels would be good. So starter level (address only) and then growing with the business (so phone answering etc).

Good luck.

What like Regus offers?

I used to work for an organisation that did this (among other things) and almost no one who used us as an address also wanted mail forwarding. They'd rather pop in and collect it themselves.

So perhaps just offering an address.

I would be interested in an address.
