Facebook Now Adds The Ablity To Advertise Events In The News Feed

By Bilal Syed


Facebook ads are a popular platform for promoting events and promotions. More than 400 million Facebook users interact with social network's events every month. If you own a Facebook page, you can use it to promote an event for your company, however, in order to reach out to your target audience, you need to advertise your event on Facebook.

The idea of doing this was to provide more access to people in connecting with one another. FaceBook noticed there was a demand for it and they decided to tap into the market and help out their community. After all, the want to improve user experience online and this is only going to happen, if they get what they want. This is exactly what led to the change being made and implemented in the long-term. It is these details which make the biggest difference for those who want the best.

FaceBook included the change because the news feed is the number one place for getting people to come and join in. People spend most of their time fiddling through their news feed throughout the day.

Whenever they pop onto FaceBook, they are going straight to the news feed and this is great real estate for event organizers. With the ability to now market the events throughout the news feed, it is a great chance to get more people to show up and know about what is happening in town.

They have also recently updated the events page to make it easier to follow. You can now find any events you are a part of as well as the invites you still need to look at. It is also easier to delete an event without having to publicly decline it. Sometimes people get invited to events that they have nothing to do with. This happens when people invite everyone to their event or everyone from their group. This is hard because they do want to get the event out there but might end up with a lot of people who ignore it.

Facebook is allowing ads for events to appear in both the mobile and desktop feeds of users. Until recently, event advertisements would appear only in the right rail on desktop users; apart of the screen that is not particularly prominent.
