group only gifts, although that's a risk you have if it's free to join

aaaah true. they can just leave the group after.

add a small fee to join, consistently give group special vip gifts and discounts, chat with your group and be involved

i've noticed the store groups with the most people are ones who do these things

the small fee to join keeps out spam bots and people just jumping in for a freebie

okay Thank you lots
