Quiet Day in your Resale Shop? »

How to gain over 4000 Closed Facebook Group members in 11 months.

February 19, 2019 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

I’m a member of a closed group that had some incredible customer testimonials and photos of their purchases… so I looked into what was going on. Contest? Not exactly...

The shop has 161,000 likes on its business page.

And over 4000 members in its closed group.

Here, I think, is why. On their group’s About post, I read this:

How to build your Facebook group. Idea found by Kate Holmes of TGtbT.blog

I’ve grayed out the name of the shop, because I have not reached the owner for permission to publicize the business.

Notice that this is ongoing, not a one-time discount. And that their group is less than a year old. Could a version of this be something for your shop to institute?
