Effective engagement practice

Facebook is our primary channel, I use tagging and posting to groups (when appropriate) to engage and increase our audience. I think FB is effective because a number of community groups and individuals with large circles share posts and are very engaged with the page.

Revenue challenges

I'm a one-woman show - a dedicated ad sales person would make a huge difference.
