South Carolina Nonprofit Passes Important Milestone With 3,500 Likes on Facebook

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, July 27, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Today, the Pacific Islands Society surpassed 3,500 Facebook Page Likes. The nonprofit is currently on-track for a 5% increase in week-on-week Facebook Page Likes, reflecting growing interest in its programs and platforms among Pacific Islanders.

The Pacific Islands Society's Facebook page provides users with the ability to stay up-to-date on the latest news and information from the region. It also gives users a platform to engage in discussions about issues affecting islanders worldwide.

We are consistently amazed at how positively Pacific Islanders have responded to our social media initiatives. We have found Facebook to be an invaluable platform for bridging the geographic boundaries that separate islanders around the world.
