Migrating from a FaceBook Group to a Fan Page
Leave a comment »
Often organisations who have either not planned or change their direction, migrate from a FaceBook Group to a Like page (Formerly Fan Page).
If the migration is not done correctly you could loose all of your followers and the important investment you made in the group.
Below are the moist effective ways to migrate with minimal loss and a way to increase your followers.
- Create a private Page while in development.
- Make your Page public when it is completed.
- On your Group wall announce the new Page.
- Individually email, recommend and ask via wall posts the people in your group to change to your Page. Explain that they will benefit from more interaction and possibly offer incentives such a random prize.
- Remove people from the Group that have joined your Page.
- After a period of time contact the remaining Group members asking for them to migrate, as you will close the group page.
- Delete the Group Page when you are ready.
Enjoy the new benefits of a Like Page and consider FaceBook advertising.
