Sending a global facebook message
-
Hi,
This is really a social media question, hoping you can help.
We have 2 facebook sites that we are going to delete. One is a group and one is a page. Here they are:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/NLP-Institute-of-California/101752159860852?ref=ts
and
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=90698249783
How do we send a message to all people in both groups all at once letting them know of our new facebook page that we're making?
We're also concerned that people will get 2 emails that are subscribed to both sites to be deleted..
Thanks!

Bob,
Since you don't have a lot of "likes" plus the page has been inactive for so long, I'm not sure you're going to get much traction by emailing everyone. I also don't think it will hurt anything. I know... real helpful right? If you do send an email, I would suggest making sure that you call out the name of the group or page specifically so if they do get two emails, they see it's because they belong to both.
As Frank mentions, it's also good to add info about moving the pages right on the page itself. That might get people's attention more than anything.
Hope this helps!

I think this is a great idea in general. Let people know in several different ways that you're moving the page. Adding a message to the page, plus a status update will let your "like"ers know in the app.

These facebook accounts are very inactive, last posts were like last May. Does your answer still apply?

My advice would be not to delete both pages immediately to put a count down warning on each page, with regular updates, for example, THIS PAGE WILL NO LONGER BE ACTIVE IN 10 DAYS please come over to our new page to continue receiving information. then you leave like a final this page is closed post again redirecting to the new pages, and finally i would delete after a couple of weeks... I know it's extra work, but people don't always read their e-mails especially those who receive thousands a day, you will find all your active members will get the notice, and that's really the majority that matters, right?

Has anyone else noticed that closed facebook cover images are being stretched side wards? We have loaded the right size (checked several times) but it is still being stretched. Any advice or opinion welcome.

Facebook Reach on Post Just Spiked!
Yesterday I put a post with a photo on our company Facebook page Normally our reach on a post is 500-600 out of a list of 77,000 followers. However, since posting this one yesterday afternoon, our reach has hit almost 9,000! The only thing different with this post vs. any others we've done is that I put a text link for the company name back to the same Facebook page that the post was put on. I didn't intend to do this, it's just that when I started typing in our company name, Facebook suggested making it a link, so I thought, why not? I'm thinking somehow that made it appear in more people's timelines than usual. We posted it the same time in the day as every other post, and this was the only thing unique about it. Any thoughts?

Increasing likes on Facebook - Strategies
What local strategies has anybody used in the past to boost the local likes of a Facebook page. The business concerned is a home improvements company covering a geographical area of the UK. What I would like to do is try and increase the number of likes from our potential target audience in cities and towns that we cover. I don't think Facebook ads are the right choice as many users just ignore them, but would be interested in online and offline marketing strategies that could be used to boost numbers to our Facebook page. The reason this is so important especially in the home improvement space is that most projects are awarded on word of mouth recommendations, so Facebook is the perfect platform.

How do you guestimate facebook brand searches?
Buongiorno from Weherby Uk 🙂 With brands all clamouring to get a stake in Facebook I wonder how many people actually search for brands on facebook. For example www.evian.com promote their facebook page on their bottles but how could you work out how many searches are entered in the facebook search box for evian as illustrated here:http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/facebook-search-volumes.jpg So my question is please: "How do you work out search volumes for search entries via facebook"? Thanks in advance 🙂

Facebook Share Metrics
Is there a method, program, or app to view how many Facebook shares each page/content has on a website. Is there a plugin if the site is a wordpress blog? I'm looking to see how many shares or top shared content are on a specific website. Thanks!
