How did we do it?

Well it’s another benefit you have access to if you’re willing to spend some money that earns you a relationship with the Facebook team.

From there, all you need is an existing fan created page. Unless it’s already being well managed (see how Soap approached the Bubble O’Bill page) a dead community on an inactive page is a waste. As it stands, these fan create pages are technically not allowed and are a breach of copyright/trademark/legal stuff.

Facebook will delete the page and migrate the fans across to yours.

You can expect a small drop off from fans who haven’t heard from the page in potentially years, but also a fantastic response from a now ignited community who have been otherwise dead.

And that’s the quickest way to grow your fan page.
