exploiting facebook?

has anyone used facebook as an advertising tool? I'm trying to figure out what would be the best way of going about it. Should I make an account for Beyond the Wall or for Poster Sale or something? And then make separate event pages under that account for each school that we go to? I'm kind of facebook illiterate but it seems SO much easier than fliering and chalking, and if I can figure out who to invite to the event, then it'll probably be even more effective. Ideas?

  1. team wild dick here -- we've been exploiting facebook and it's worked pretty well! we made an account called "poster sale" and posted all of the dates of our sales in the events section. we ask students, "hey do you have a lot of facebook friends? want a free poster?" and then have them log into their own account and invite all of their university friends to the event. you don't even have to befriend them -- just search the event by the email you use to make it up! let us know if you have any questions about this.
