Christmas Eve Day at Our Office Space Toronto

By |2021-04-05T18:59:40-04:00December 24th, 2012|Commercial Office Space, Office Space|

Twas the day before Christmas and there were many people wandering the halls of our office space Toronto. Smiles were everywhere and some people even had eggnog instead of their complimentary coffee! Even many of those who do not celebrate the Christian holiday were wrapped up in the spirit of goodwill associated with the commercial trappings of the holiday. It was pleasant to hear “Merry Christmas” rather than “Happy Holidays” from people you did not know. One conversation that was overheard in the kitchen of our office space Toronto was about the most requested thing that mall Santas were being asked for. Along with the usual top trending toys, this year Santa is getting a lot of requests for an Ikea monkey or a pet wild turkey like the one that has been seen along Kingston Road in Toronto’s East end. One thing is for sure – our downtown Toronto […]

How Are You Going To Deal With The One-Day Teachers Strike?

By |2021-04-05T18:22:14-04:00December 17th, 2012|Commercial Office Space, Office Space|

One-day work stoppages by teachers have been happening around the province. But Tuesday they will hit home for those with office space Toronto who have children in elementary school. Last week when one York Region area was affected by the one-day strike, a few Toronto office space tenants who had children in those schools decided to work from home rather than at their downtown office space. Today, an office for rent Toronto client couple who lives in Hamilton decided to bring their son into the office and put him to work doing some filing. So, much of the water-cooler conversations around the kitchens of our office space Toronto and in the line-up at Tim Hortons on the fourth-floor of the Toronto Star Building, involved what people in Toronto would do tomorrow when more schools were closed for the day. Those who had Toronto office space at Telsec who are able […]

Putting on the Gloves in Toronto Office Space

By |2021-04-05T18:59:40-04:00December 14th, 2012|Commercial Office Space, Downtown Toronto Office Space, Office Space|

The old expression “Taking the Gloves Off” has often been used in business when it is time to knuckle down and “get down to business.” In these tough economic times many small businesses are having to take the gloves off and fight to survive. Other entrepreneurs and small business owners are putting the gloves on at their Toronto offices to better interact with technology. Today at our office space Toronto, this blogger noticed a woman who had an office for rent Toronto at Telsec wearing gloves in the 18th-floor kitchen. I was perplexed at what I was seeing because it was not that cold anywhere on the floor. A closer look showed that the gloves had silver-looking tips on the first two digits and on the thumb. It turns out that the woman was not wearing the gloves for warmth, but because the conductive silver thread on the tips of the glove […]

Popup Offices are not an alternative to Office Space Toronto

By |2022-01-05T09:22:59-05:00December 12th, 2012|Commercial Office Space, Office Space, Virtual Office|

You have probably heard about the trend called Popup Shop or Popup Retail, where empty retail space is temporarily used for a short time. Literally, they can pop up one day and be gone the next, hence the coined word “popup.”  For owners of empty retail spaces, popups can help bridge the gap between long-term tenants. For a business, this setup may provide an ideal way to have a quick sell-off sale or test the retail market briefly in that location. Now there is a new term that started in the UK called Popup Offices or Popup Office Space. The idea behind the popup office is that companies can temporarily house staff in a non-traditional office location for a short time with little or no infrastructure except for a Wifi Internet connection. The problem is that these short-term office arrangements are not seen by potential clients or existing customers as a professional […]

Social Media is Not for Every Small Business

By |2021-04-05T18:59:40-04:00December 7th, 2012|Commercial Office Space, Office Space|

While Telsec’s office space Toronto has benefited greatly from using social media like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus, other small businesses have not had any success using social media to attract new business or to reinforce business relationships with existing clients. Having an Internet presence is good, but social media requires a commitment. Before considering setting up a social media profile, you should first make a plan on how and when you will update and interact with that profile. The experts say that unless you can commit to regular updates and interactions with your social network followers, you are better to not have a social media profile. The reason for this is that without constant monitoring and interaction with your followers, problems may occur and by the time you find them, the damage to your reputation will be done. Some office for rent Toronto clients have told us that they […]

Seasonal Party for Office Staff at Office Space Toronto

By |2021-04-05T18:59:40-04:00December 6th, 2012|Boardrooms & Meeting Rooms, Commercial Office Space, Office Space|

This blog was inspired by some interesting conversations that happened at the Telsec office space Toronto Christmas party for office for rent Toronto tenants. This year, like previous years, the food and drinks were set up in the boardroom that is just off of the reception area, but most people were standing around the reception area talking and being offered finger foods as the waiter walked through the crowd. Because this was a Christmas party for all office space for lease Toronto tenants, one of the topics of conversation between tenants was how big and diverse the crowd was and maybe Telsec should move next year’s party to one of the larger Toronto meeting rooms or even the seminar training room. Another topic of conversation that was also party-related was where and what type of seasonal party were the office space tenants having for their own staff or clients? A […]

Using a Hashtag Can Be Good For Business

By |2021-04-05T18:59:40-04:00December 4th, 2012|Commercial Office Space, Growth & Innovation, Office Space|

Social media can be good for business. You just need to know how to use it to your advantage. Social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are becoming very popular with larger businesses to help with brand awareness and to keep their brands top of mind. But these sites can also benefit small businesses who have office for rent Toronto at office business centres like Telsec. When it comes to Facebook, the key is to establish and grow your page with followers or “likes.” You should start by letting friends, family and those who you already do business with, get to know you better and like you. The second step is to do some outreach and find groups where the members have similar interests or are potential consumers for your product or service. Thirdly, consider running an inexpensive Facebook ad that allows you to target not only a demographic, […]

Keeping yourself safe from flu at your Toronto office space for rent

By |2023-12-14T10:59:08-05:00November 12th, 2012|Commercial Office Space, Downtown Toronto Office Space|

Yes, it is cold and flu season again. While many people are being reminded to get the flu shot, there are also other ways to help protect yourself against influenza, especially by reducing your exposure to germs and viruses around your Toronto office space. Would you believe that it is more likely that your office desktop harbours more germs and bacteria than the office bathroom? The bathroom is routinely cleaned with disinfectant while your office desk and other surfaces in your office space Toronto may not be. How often have you cleaned your keyboard? It is said that your keyboard is potentially dirtier than the average office toilet seat. Think of the potential E. coli and staph germs on your keyboard, your fingers and even on your phone! A U.S. study showed that most people they polled admitted to never cleaning their keyboards. Consider all office germs in your personal […]

Planning Your Toronto Office Space is Just as Important as Your Business Plan

By |2021-04-05T18:59:40-04:00November 9th, 2012|Commercial Office Space, Growth & Innovation, Office Space|

There is an old saying “plan to succeed; not planning is planning to fail.” In the past, when starting a new business, you had to have a business plan as a written guide outlining what your goals are. But today, you should also have a plan drafted that will help you find your office space environment. Planning your Toronto office space is just as important as your business plan. The first step in planning your office space Toronto is to go back to your business plan and determine how much you have budgeted for your Toronto office space rental. This is not your overall office budget – just the rental or lease portion of it. Then start your search for your Toronto office space for lease. Once you have a shortlist of Toronto office spaces that fit your budget and needs, plan to visit them and find out the amenities and […]
