Lunger Dan Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Hey y'all..in an effort to drum up some more members, I made our local SASS group, Buccaneer Range Regulators, a facebook page. Here is a link https://www.facebook.com/groups/322677095297436/ Hopefully this is allowed, if anyone is on facebook, a join to the group would be appreciated. Feel free to post photos, or videos of your posses or anything you think might attract some new folks! Thanks! 3 Quote
Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) I made a Facebook page for our club, Black Hills Shootists https://www.facebook.com/BlackHillsShootists1880/?ref=bookmarks It hasn't brought us any new shooters, but has generated some interest and it's WAY easier to post pics and news than the WIX Website my wife and I created. You did a nice job, I especially like the FAQ's Good Luck Edited May 12, 2019 by Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L 1 1 Quote
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Could I suggest that you include your location and such on those pages. Maybe a map too...... Respectfully, OLG 1 1 Quote
Buckaroo Bubba Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Yup, I created a Facebook page for our club too, had it for years, http://www.facebook.com/tuscolongriders and a Wix page http://www.tuscolongriders.com My theory is use any avenue you can, especially free social media. 2 1 Quote
Black Hills Barb Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 El Posse Grande has one too. May I suggest that when setting up a page we all reference the Single Action Shooting Society and the website in the "About" description area. 2 1 Quote

I made a couple of FB pages for some clubs up the road from you: Old Hickory Regulators in Rocky Mt. and Flat Branch Ranch Cowboys in Bunn Level Say Howdy! to Jefro and High Noon Henry for me. Y'all have a great bunch of folks there! 2 Quote

Lunger Dan Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 Thanks y'all..I see some of you are posting the match results in the "file" sections...I was wondering how to get those up for people to see without having to type it all out in a "post"! Quote
Black Hills Barb Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) We add a PDF of match results just like you would add a picture. Another suggestion I have is to ask Amber Oakley to add your Facebook page info to your club's info on the SASS affiliated clubs page. The current affiliation form does not ask for this info. However, social media is a very good recruitment/advertising tool and we may as well make use of it. Edited May 13, 2019 by Black Hills Barb 1 1 Quote
Raritan River Kid SASS #23259 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Let us like your page so I can follow you. Do you have matches year round? I spend some time on Oak island part of the year. Quote

Up at the very top of the FB page under "more" is a place you can upload a PDF file. It will then display the PDF link on your page and automatically save it under "Files" for easy reference. (rename the file, otherwise they all come up as "matchresultsbytime") The other, less convenient way, is to take a screen shot of the opened file and post it as a picture. But, then it won't get saved under "Files". If you want to save them in order for easy reference, you'd have to mark each one as an announcement, and then they would be saved under the "Announcements" link on the left of the page.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Any time someone asks me to "Like" or join their site on FB, I do. I want to support our beloved sport. 2 1 Quote

Hmm, I must be doing something wrong. When I click on the "more" button it only says" "page quality". Quote

You find some good stuff by watching what other clubs are doing to use for your own club. 2 1 Quote

Ok, I misspoke. At the top where you start a new post, click "More". (I sent you too high in the page). Then click "add file". Here's a picture of the drop-down menu. 1 Quote
