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
Niche Lead Generation Strategy
Each community we build isn't just about numbers—it's about creating highly targeted audiences. When local businesses need to reach specific demographics, our groups provide direct access to engaged, local consumers who are actively seeking recommendations.
Email List Building
Our Facebook groups serve as powerful funnels for email list growth. Through valuable content and exclusive offers, we've built a substantial email list, sending weekly newsletters that maintain engagement beyond social media.
The Notice Me Advantage: Marketing to 80,000+ Individuals
As a full-service marketing company, Notice Me Marketing and Media has a unique advantage. Our community network allows us to offer marketing and print services directly to over 80,000 individuals across multiple markets. This isn't just about numbers—it's about relationships we've cultivated through consistent value delivery and authentic engagement.
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.
- Active Moderation: Maintaining quality discussions requires dedicated moderation. We ensure conversations stay positive, productive, and aligned with community values.
- Local Focus: Each group maintains a hyper-local focus, making content relevant and actionable for members. This geographical specificity drives engagement and trust.
- 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.
