Airlines and restaurants have staff specifically assigned to welcome customers. University research has shown that being welcomed increases the chances of repeat visits -- that's why churches have welcome groups. So long as the posts you forsee are not annoyingly pushy, you have a good idea here.
Why don't you create the group? You welcome the most outa everyone.
