I created a landing page for our PDX Cru Facebook page the other day. (Thanks for the inspiration U. of Central Florida).

It’s got a giant welcome picture along with links to our “Connect with Cru” page and info on all of our meetings. I’m hoping its a better way to translate Facebook advertising into people actually getting involved. Especially as we blitz the city with some advertising at the beginning of the school year.
It was a little bit of a confusing process and involved inputting some HTML. Start here if you’re interested and then you’re on your own.
Is this a good idea? Do you use Facebook advertising at the start of the year?

I’m beginning to question the new Facebook landing & welcome pages as they take way too long to load, they’re really worth a 5 second scan/decision … and if you already sent somewhere there, haven’t they decided because they clicked there?
