Welcome GEO to the world of Facebook!

Welcome GEO to the world of Facebook!

After hours spent trying to figure out how to create a fan page for facebook I’ve finally accomplished it!
We plan on using facebook to connect with you without being intrusive, and to build a better relationship. We will be posting lots of photos of our bins, new products, staff and office/warehouse premises to open our doors and give you a better idea of who we are.

We also look forward to letting you know about up and coming events we will be taking part in and how they turned out.

You will be able to see other businesses and organizations we become fans of and connect with.
You will also be able to communicate how you feel about our products and service if you are happy with it and give us any ideas how we could better our service to you.

We will also take the opportunity to promote sales and special offers exclusively to our facebook fans, as well you can find out about them before anyone else!

You will be able to find out great tips for cooking, food storage and ideas. We look forward to posting and exchanging recipes and sharing feedback on them. As we get further into the local season we will let you know what our farmers have for the coming weeks.

We will be launching a monthly discussion board on topics that include food, organics, cooking and the environment. We look forward to your input on what matters to you and where you stand on important topics.

As some of you may have noticed our Vancouver and Muskoka location have had fan pages for quite some time and I’ve noticed some of you becoming fans there(probably because we did not have a page yet!)-So time to move over, and become a fan of GEO Toronto!
