Great to see that facebook pages are letting band page owners cross-reference their events to their group
Tell Mama has some gigs coming up in April that we’re really excited about and I finally took the time on the weekend to create a facebook event to promote the first one on April 7th at The Supermarket in Toronto. I wasn’t looking forward to doing it because, at this point, it seemed that I have to create a new event for my group page and another for my band page just to get the word out to everybody. I created the group event as per usual (sure would be nice to be able to “select all” for invitations or filter the names somehow by region) and then I got quite frustrated when I tried to create a new event to post to my band page - the event function was nowhere to be found. Of course, the moment I complained on a facebook forum I immediately found the feature as an addition to the tabs at the top of the page - how embarrassing is that?
I cannot tell you how happy I was to see that the event I created on the band page could both be sent to everybody on my personal profile and then sent as an attachment to all the members of my band page - the one stop shopping I have been looking for! Now, I did this backwards cause I created my group event first so the next one I create for our gig at Ben’s Pub on the 11th I will start with the band page and see how that goes but I am certainly remaining quietly excited on this one. Anything that helps me to save time mucking around is awesome in my book.
