Advertising for commercial office space

[Michele King]

Anyone with creative ideas on how to lease small private office suites within a larger office building? Property is in Colorado. We currently use Craigslist, Loopnet, Facebook and Nextdoor. We do not use a real estate agent because the spaces are too small to justify the expense and most are not interested. We are also hanging flyers in the local coffee shops. Better strategies?

I manage a couple of historic commercial properties in Durham, NC that have multiple 200-500sf offices within the building(s)... a good tactic we've had a great experience with is advertising to the existing tenants. 

If the existing tenant(s) are not in a position to expand, more times than not they are aware of another business within their network that needs space. Sometimes, a tenant can find it beneficial to have a business they deal with frequently occupy space within the same building.
