How to Promote Facebook Events With Ads
Facebook Events allow you to promote events you've planned to your friend network and those of friends you've set as administrators of the event. One way to further increase the range of Facebook users who know about your event is to purchase Facebook ad space for the event, which displays a clickable link to the ad page in the Facebook side bar.
