We have a Facebook page and a bunch of 'fans' and are trying to figure out the best way to take advantage of this group. We recently tried to invite our fans to an event, but it was sent out as a page update, and we received very few responses. I am under the impression that if we are are a group, rather than a page we can communicate more actively with those interested in us. I'd love to hear from anyone with any experience and/or suggestions on this issue. Thanks.
