Get Connected with a Fans Page

Facebook Groups Fans PageA fan of an event or a festival often creates a Facebook public group fans page. This provides a way for him or her to feel more connected to the event. Many group pages invite others to join and contribute their favorite experiences, memories, artists, foods, photos, etc.

As time goes on, the page creator may realize it takes a bit more to moderate the social media page than expected. When this happens, they may reach out to the event to ask if the event organizer would like to take it over or share in the administrative efforts.

So it doesn’t come across as being too self-serving, always try to keep your role (as the event organizer) at arm’s length. Offer to assist, but never fully assume responsibility for a group page created by someone else.

It’s just easier to brag about someone having created a group with 10,000 members, if you appear to be uninvolved.
