That's something we're working on as well! I'd start by asking all of your board and volunteers to "Like" the page and pass it around to their family and friends. Once you have 25 people you can request a user ID for the page which makes it easier to list on flyers, etc. For example, ours is "hdecm" (has to be at least 5 characters) so all of our flyers have "facebook.com/hdecm" listed at the bottom next to our website address. Next, I asked all of the staff to add it to their email signatures (below - the listserv wouldn't let the jpeg icon thru, but normally it's there) and include it on all flyers they produce. That was a good start and now I'm working on how to continue to increase it. We offer programs for students so I made half-sheet flyers listing our facebook and twitter addresses, which I also have with our handouts at other events as well... I've worked hard on coming up with a social network calendar and I've gotten verbal feedback that people like what I'm doing, I just don't know how to get more people to interact with the page. So I'm very interested to hear others feedback on how they grow their followers as well! Great question Charlotte, thanks! -Jaime Jaime L.

We're not interested in pursuing advertising through FB, but we would certainly like to increase our FB and website traffic and visibility. Here's our website: http://www.haymarketmuseum.org/ Here's our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Haymarket-Museum/171551349533355 Your ideas are most welcome. Thanks very much.
