Have been fiddling around with Facebook to see how useful it might be for recruiting purposes (just go to Facebook.com and type in "North State Rifles", if you're interested in viewing it) It seems to be a promising tool to get the word out to members and to quickly post photos of recent events, and has attracted 80 or so fans (who come and go depending on whether they find what they're looking for), but we wonder if there's a better way.
Because we have deliberately chosen not to go to the next step - that is, going to commercial advertising (due to costs!), the Facebook apps on our page are somewhat limited. We are wondering if there are any other units out there who have decided to pay the fee to run ads, and if so, what has their experience been so far? Would appreciate if other units who have tried to use Facebook would chime in as well.
Thanks!
