The Power of Community Building: How We Grew Facebook Groups to 60,000+ Members

Building Communities That Convert: Our Journey to 80,000+ Members

At Notice Me Marketing and Media, we've discovered that the most powerful marketing tool isn't a fancy algorithm or expensive ad campaign—it's genuine community building. Through strategic Facebook group management, we've cultivated multiple thriving communities with a combined reach of over 60,000 engaged members, creating an unprecedented opportunity for both organic growth and targeted lead generation.

Our Flagship Success: St. George Word of Mouth

Our crown jewel, St. George Word of Mouth, stands as a testament to the power of authentic community engagement. With nearly 70,000 members—60,000 of whom are actively participating—this group has become the heartbeat of Southern Utah's local commerce and communication.

What started as a simple platform for neighbors to share recommendations has evolved into a powerful economic engine for local businesses. Members trust the group for everything from finding reliable contractors to discovering new restaurants, creating an ecosystem where businesses thrive through genuine word-of-mouth marketing.

Scaling Success: Only in Ocala and Beyond

Building on our St. George success, we launched Only in Ocala, which is rapidly approaching 10,000 members. This Florida-based community follows our proven formula: create a space where locals feel heard, valued, and connected to their community.

But we didn't stop there. We've expanded our community-building expertise to create and manage:

• Local running groups that bring fitness enthusiasts together
• Dementia support groups providing crucial resources and emotional support
• Various city-specific groups throughout the United States

The Notice Me Advantage: Marketing to 80,000+ Individuals

When we launch a new service or promote a client's business, we're not broadcasting to strangers. We're communicating with community members who know us, trust us, and actively engage with our content. This level of organic reach and engagement is something money can't buy—it must be earned through genuine community building.

Key Strategies for Community Growth

• Consistent Value Delivery: Every post, every interaction must provide value to community members. Whether it's local news, exclusive deals, or helpful resources, content must serve the community first.

• Cross-Platform Integration: We leverage our Facebook groups to build our email list, creating multiple touchpoints with our audience through weekly newsletters and targeted campaigns.
• Authentic Engagement: We don't just post and ghost. Our team actively participates in discussions, answers questions, and builds real relationships with members.

Our dementia support groups provide crucial resources for families navigating difficult journeys. Our running groups bring together fitness enthusiasts who motivate and support each other. These communities create value that transcends business—they improve lives.

This human-centered approach to community building is what sets Notice Me apart. We understand that behind every profile picture is a real person with real needs, desires, and challenges.
