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.
