If you’re relying only on Facebook to stay updated on what’s happening in Las Cruces — you’re missing out on a lot.
The Facebook algorithm shows our posts to just a tiny sliver of our followers. That means you might not see our weekend event picks, local restaurant highlights, or our popular Thursday live music guide unless you’re constantly checking our page.
If you want to stay really plugged into the Las Cruces scene, subscribing to the Live Love Las Cruces newsletter is the way to go. Here’s why.
Facebook Filters Out Most of What We Share
You might think following our Facebook page means you’ll catch every update. But the numbers tell a different story.
According to Hootsuite, the average reach of a Facebook page post is only about 2.2%. That means almost 98% of followers never see our posts unless they’re boosted — and we don’t boost most posts.
We could share an epic local festival, a mom-and-pop taco shop review, or the best free things to do this weekend — and you’d never know it was posted.
With our newsletter, though? Every issue lands right in your inbox.
| Platform | Visibility | Control | What You See |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~2.2% of followers | Facebook controls the feed | Maybe 1 out of 50 posts | |
| Newsletter | 100% inbox delivery | You’re in control | Every weekly highlight, guaranteed |

That Thursday Live Music Guide? You Can’t Get That Anywhere Else
We’re proud of a lot in our newsletter — but if we had to pick a crowd favorite, it’s our Thursday Live Music Guide.
Each Thursday, we send out one of the most comprehensive roundups of live music events happening in Las Cruces — from acoustic sets at breweries to full-band shows at local venues. Whether you’re into chill vibes or dance-floor beats, our list has you covered.
And the best part? It’s published right before the weekend, so you can plan your nights out without scrambling through social media or outdated websites.
