Users are able to “follow” your organization in order to receive information and updates from you. Each time your organization creates a post you can choose to have your members notified of the post and they will be able to engage with it.

Why do I want people to follow my organization?

By increasing the number of followers that your organization has you increase the marketing reach for all of your programs. If you have 50 followers then each post will be sent to those 50 people. If you have 5000 followers then it will be sent to all 5000. When you post about a camp, clinic, or event the larger your reach the faster you will receive registrations.
