How to Set up a Facebook Event for your Fan Page


In Facebook, the line blurs between fan pages and personal pages. Creating events is just another time that line blurs.

If you’re trying to create a personal event, you’ll find the quick setup at the right hand side of your homepage.

If you’re trying to create a fan page event, start by going to your fan page. Then follow these steps:

  1. Click “edit page”.

  2. Scroll down to the “Events” section. Click edit.

  3. Create your event, edit the details, then invite any of your (personal) friends.
  4. You can’t send fans an email like you can with group members, but you can send them an update. Go to your event page, and click “Update fans of [your fan page]“.

  5. Craft a message to go along with your event invite and send!

That’s all there is to it. Now get out there and start creating some events!

    I sent out an update to our facebook fans. They do not seem to see it. Is there a way to check if the update was sent correctly?

    Thanks

    The best way I can think to check updates is by linking your personal facebook account with your business account (or becoming an admin). Then go to you inbox and updates. You should find an update there!
