Facebook: sharing photos across LOTS of pages

I run the social media marketing for our retail company. We have a head office plus over 120 stores nationally. We have a single “main” Facebook page, but many of our stores have their own Facebook pages too.

This works for us because it means each store can keep their customers informed of new stock and events and they can provide their customers with advice too. However, we have regular items that we post on our “Main” company Facebook page that have to be shared to all the other store pages.

As the marketing manager, I have admin access to all those store pages, but sharing take freaking AGES because I’m…having…to…do…it…one…page…at…a…time…

Please, for the sake of my sanity, tell me there’s a fast and easy way to do this. Even Hootsuite only lets you sign up for a maximum of 50 pages if you pay for their professional service

Mass email each store’s supervisor and have them spend 5 minutes each morning copying your posts to their store ones.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that totally defeats the purpose of having social media if you’re relying on email to coordinate things between 120 stores. Stores might not having the time to check their emails regularly because they’re serving customers, plus we’re trying to take some of the work out of their hands by posting this regular content for them.

I guess what I’m asking is, is there a way to do a “mass share” across multiple pages in one go?

You might be able to set them up as a group. It will take some time adding them all initially, but once they are in the group you won’t have to do it again. When you share something with the group, I think it will post to all their feeds.

I don’t think you can set up pages in a group. Groups are only for regular Facebook accounts.

If you have a programmer on hand, a batch request through the Facebook API might work

Maybe through a program like hootsuite. I’m pretty sure you can manage multiple accounts on multiple social media platforms through their free software.

This is the only way I know of doing it. Fortunately the API call is pretty easy (once you sort-out the OAuth bit at least.)

Talk to your IT people and have them write a little quick app for this.

Buffer might be able to help. You should contact them and see if they have this feature.
