Facebook Upgrades Its Ads Platform For Events What It Means To You

By Bilal Syed


FaceBook is one of the world's largest social media platforms and its growth will not be stopping any time soon. This is great news for those who run and promote events. After all, they are able to gain access to a wide range of people who are ready to attend after getting an invite. This sounds like a great idea, but it wasn't possible for them to do until recently. FaceBook has changed its features around to accommodate those who promote the events and want to gain access to people who can attend and enjoy the events.

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.

By having the ability to advertise the events in the news feed, more people will see them. This means more people will respond and RSVP to them. This will help with the number of people who go to the events that have been posted.

Facebook ads are clever in that they appear along with the regular news feeds, making them less invasive and more acceptable to audiences. But perhaps the most powerful feature of Facebook ads is the insights that appear with the ad. For example, an ad for a beauty cream would show how many of your friends liked the product. With events, it's practically the same. You are given insights on who among your friends are attending the event and how many people are attending it. And you know how it goes, more people are inclined to attend an event if they see that some of their friends are also going.

It is another way for FaceBook to help people connect and have a better time in enjoying socializing (which is the reason FaceBook exists!). Facebook has just introduced a new feature which allows event organizers to advertise events in news feeds. They have also introduced Insights for events. The popular social networking website has more than 400 million people interacting with it on a daily basis, and this new feature will greatly expand the reach for events.

Spreading the word about events via Facebook used to be a difficult process, and one that relied a lot on manual invites. These new features should make it much easier to get your events in front of a large interested audience, and will make promoting events to a targeted audience a relatively friction-free process. Whether it makes up for the decreasing reach of pages remains to be seen, but it is good to see that Facebook is trying to help brands promote their upcoming events.
