We're moving! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1808688579965826
Why?
Enhanced Community Engagement: Facebook groups allow for more active participation from members. Rather than just being a space where people "like" or comment on posts, groups foster ongoing discussions, event coordination, and member-to-member interaction, which is great for building a community.
Better Control Over Content: In a group, members can post content, share experiences, and contribute to the conversation, whereas pages are more limited to content posted by the page owner. Moving to a group might be a way to empower your community to share their own artwork, experiences, or class updates.
Stronger Sense of Belonging: A group can create a more intimate and focused community around Bemis School of Art. It allows members to feel like they are part of something larger than just being a follower on a page. Groups can be more engaging and personal, with members connecting over shared interests.
Better Targeting for Events and Classes: Groups can help with better targeting for specific events, workshops, or classes. You can create polls, share files, and organize events in a way that feels more collaborative.
Improved Algorithm Visibility: Facebook groups tend to have better engagement visibility compared to pages due to Facebook’s algorithms favoring group posts in members' feeds. Moving to a group could increase the reach of your posts and encourage more interaction from the community.
Privacy and Interaction: Groups can also offer more privacy settings, making it easier to control who participates and ensuring that conversations are more private compared to a public page.
