Recently, our team has been thinking about giving up our marketing and SEO office in San Jose, Costa Rica for a virtual office.
The reason being that 97% of our staff are never in the office.
Most of us telecommute from home and the only person that is ever in the office is a receptionist during work hours and security guard at night. Telecommuting is great and essential to our business since most of our staff is located in the U.S. and the Philippines.
Being an online marketing company, we have no need for an office since most of our clients are online clients.
On top of that, our offices are only used to meet clients so we probably only use the office 2 to 3 times a week since the majority of the time we go to our client’s office.
This is why we have been toying with the idea of having a virtual office in 3 countriees instead which would save us about $2,000 a month in expenses that we do not need.
The only good thing about having an office was I suppose the status symbol behind it. However, this is the age of the internet and a physical office is just no longer necessary in the business we are in.
If anyone has a virtual office solution for use, please contact fred@blindmonkeymedia.com
