Whether you are a new or veteran RV park or campground owner, joining and participating in the right Facebook groups can be a game-changer. It’s also important to understand general Facebook group best practices, so everyone gets more value out of their experience on the social media platform. Here are a few Facebook group guidelines before jumping into the conversation.
Maintain a respectful and professional tone, fostering a positive environment. Admins most often work for free and they don’t enjoy breaking up Facebook fights.
Actively contribute by sharing your experiences and insights. Some things might be obvious to an industry veteran, but not so much to a newbie campground owner.
Ask thoughtful questions to stimulate meaningful discussions. Try not to ask questions that can be answered with a simple Google Search.
Be sure to review and follow the group's guidelines and rules set by the administrators. If advertising isn’t allowed, respect that rule or risk being booted out.
Utilize the search function to explore existing topics before posting, preventing redundant discussions.
Lastly, use the group as a learning resource by staying open to diverse perspectives, trends, and industry updates. Even the most seasoned owners may have something to learn from folks just entering the space.
Now that we are all on our best behavior, here's a curated list of the best groups that will help you connect with like-minded professionals, seek advice, and stay up to date on industry trends.
