[Organizers] Facebook boost

Fri May 5 10:52:50 PDT 2017

I paid to boost a family dance at a free folk festival that I was calling.  The only hits were from possible pedophiles..... really creepy appearing guys with only young cute girls as friends. 

So it does not help to boost kid activities.

Boosting is when you pay Facebook to promote your event. 
Emily, can you clarify. Ottawa did try it and it worked? or a different local dance of yours tried it and it worked? Or none of the above?

blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } I've been told by my musician friends that boosting is key. And very reasonable. I was just about to check it out for the dance and festival communities I represent so I'm anxious to read responses.?

??Hi ~

I am the organizer for Seacoast Contra in Newfields New Hampshire.  We are
a small-town group with a big heart :)

I've boosted our dance with Facebook approximately 3 times.  The budget I
set was very low, as we're on a very tight budget ($15)  We've polled new
people how they found us...and we received no response from a Facebook ad.
Most found us multiple ways, including signs we place near our dance a week
before and a sandwich board outside the dance, referral from friends,
posting on our FB page, email list and Meetup posts to multiple groups.
Multi-faceted means of advertising our group has made it a viable dance.
We just celebrated our one year Contraversary.  Our group has grown
steadily.

I do think there is value in boosting our group....it gets us noticed, and
planting that seed is essential.  I think that a bigger budget for a larger
group would be a great way to get noticed and bring in new dancers  It just
can't be the only way.

Patti
