Hi, useful information thanks!
I just don’t understand one thing: on which basis you conclude that fb pages are “etter for long-lasting relationships with clients and creating an interactive community with them”?
thanks a lot in advance!!

Just wanted to say this was really interesting to read – but wondered if there was any research as to ALMO’s and Housing Associations who have Facebook pages. We have a really successful page which is administered by two young people.

I have tried to find others using this but seem to draw blanks.

Great information though.

Thanks

Michelle

Hi,

I am part of Solihull Community Housings Facebook Admin team, which consists of the costomer involvement manager, myself ( a 17 year old volunteer) and another volunteer who is also 17. We have taken over the page as volunteers with the fans incresing from 8 to 174. We have intrroduced new concepts to the facebook such as the free download of the organisastions documents as well as a new youth service called Y-POD, meaning youth pod. We have introduced a weekly blog which keeps people updated, we regulaly vist youth centres and do presentations publicising the pgae as well as producing posters and leaflets. We have done a number of newspaper interviews. The page also has pictures from events and a daily news update. Have a look from and outsiders view point and see what you think. You can contact me at through the youth information service from Solihull Community Housing ypod@live.co.uk.
