"East Dulwich" Facebook Page

[officialeastdulwich]

Hi there,

We are the East Dulwich Facebook (www.facebook.com/E.Dulwich ) page. We have over 2,200 likes with a reach of over 300 people for each post on the page.

You may have seen or heard of us and we continually get asked if we are any affiliation to East Dulwich Forum. We are completely independent of this forum but understand that this is also another important resource for people living in the area.

We run online advertising for local businesses, groups, classes and events for a very competitive fee on our Facebook page, to allow people to promote them to an audience (many of whom may not be on ED Forum).

We also offer free promotion on the page for any charity listings, provided they are for a registered charity.

For information about exciting advertising opportunities for events, shops, services and community groups on the page email: [email protected]

Find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/e.dulwich

Follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/e_dulwich

Any queries or suggestions to [email protected]

We hope to hear from some Forum members soon and to continue working with those of you that we already do.

Thanks,

East Dulwich Facebook

What does "official" mean?

This post won't last long

[officialeastdulwich]

We emailed the owner of this forum and they said it was okay to post as long as we adhered to the rules of the forum. If we have broken one we will happily edit the post accordingly.

@edhistory a definition of the word "Official" is available at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/official

We wouldn't say we're the only resource on Facebook for finding out about events and businesses in the area, however, we have the most reach and with the help of local people aim to become as helpful as this Forum. We enable the posting of flyers, any promotional copy and may soon be offering Facebook Offers to businesses.

P.S we're not exclusively for East Dulwich but Dulwich as a whole and surrounding areas (within reason). Someone tried to advertise their business in Hackney but it didn't really relate to our audience.

[edhistory]

I had a already had a vague idea of the meaning of the word "official".

Why are you "official"?

[Jessie]

Yes, who has officiated you the official east dulwich facebook page?

[officialeastdulwich]

We're not "Official" the Facebook Page is simply "East Dulwich" We have more likes than any other page on Facebook appearing in the search for East Dulwich! The name sort of just stuck

[officialeastdulwich]

Thanks for your attention to detail. I hope that semantics don't discourage you from liking our page, or contacting us if you would like some sort of online Facebook Promotion.

Yours,

East Dulwich

[officialeastdulwich]

Thanks to whoever created the Burky Zimble account on Facebook for spamming our page! It's good to see more people liking the page. It wasn't very nice some of the comments you left about the personal businesses of others...

[Sue]

So people have to pay to advertise on your Facebook page?

Is that what makes you "official"?

You're a money-making business?

[officialeastdulwich]

We hope to be a money making business. As explained before the name is not important. It's just words.

Whatever happened to sticks and stones? People seem genuinely hurt. So I shall edit the original post :/

[KalamityKel]

But surely the name IS important no?

[officialeastdulwich]

not really

[KalamityKel]

The no point calling it the East Dulwich facebook page ;-)

[officialeastdulwich]

It's the Facebook page for East Dulwich

[Administrator]

As you're a business you must state your trading address. Please edit your first post and put it in.

Thanks for all the likes and messages! Get in touch. We're hoping to a lot more charity related stuff soon

[Betsy Vickers]

Just visited your page. Suggest everyone does the same. Read the first few foulmouthed posts. Read the anti Labour and pro LibDem posts. Then decide whether this idiot represents East Dulwich!

[KalamityKel]

It's just another version of the EDF no? ;-)

[RosieH]

Hmm, not really. Just had a look, it's nothing but adverts. Clearly doing well enough out of it, but I get enough ads on Facebook already, without actually subscribing to an advert page!

[officialeastdulwich]

@ Betsy Vickers- we've no idea what foul-mouthed posts you're referring to? Users are only allowed to comment on posts we've made but not post their own. We have a rigorous moderation policy in place. Feel free to show us what you are referring to. We also have no political stance so once again no idea what you are referring to.

The incoming welfare reforms and posts about Lewisham Hospital are the only times we've ever even mentioned the government?

Thanks for calling us an idiot though Betsy, we'll take your feedback on board. There are actually two of us though so perhaps "itiotS" is what you meant.

@ RosieH- There are interesting photos and discussions on the page as well as advertising for a number of local events, shops and groups that we feel interest the people of ED.

Like, comment, share and Tweet us. We love reading your tweets!

@officialeastdulwich

Try these for size.

From 2009.

[officialeastdulwich]

I stand corrected. Well done for ignoring all the recent stuff but researching all the way back to 2009.

The site is definitely under new management. If you could find it somewhere in your heart to forgive the mistakes of the past then we'd love you forever.

Kind regards
