Re: Facebook Milestone

[RUTHBB@aol.com]

Speaking personally and certainly not scientifically, I doubt that many of  
the AIS members are on Facebook, given that, generally speaking, we're an 
older  populace. I only know a few people in our older segment that are on 
Facebook. We  NEED the younger ones!!!!

Today  the AIS Facebook  page recieved its 2,000th Friend. Essentially 
Facebook
is  free  advertising for the Society. It does come at a cost. Andi

our
Social Media Manager has spent a great deal of time keeping  new  pictures 
up
and interesting topics. Congratulations  Andi!!

You may  wonder what is the potential for Facebook. The are  2 million 
people  on
Facebook that say they like Gardening. B I  suspect many may like Iris  
also.
The Iris Facebook page is presently  seeing less activity, perhaps  because 
so
many people are in their  gardens. But aside from the 2,000  friends now,B a
week ago, we were  seeing over 3,000 people viewing the AIS  page per 
month. 
At
the  moment we are only seeing about 2,000. If we could  have  offered
e-membership last week who knows how many new members we  would  have 
gotton.
The potential is still   enormous.




Hi All,
Just a comment so  we don't read more into it  or make incorrect 
assumptions Curious to  know how many of our current 5000 +/-  AIS members 
and 
their family  members are part of the 2000 "friends"   mention ?

Don't want this to be viewed as negative towards  this great  project, 
but would caution against over stating the facts. I have no   doubt in 
time, 
this will be  a net gain for AIS.
