Just wondering before I venture into this and spend money, what sort of experiences have other people had with Paying to promote FB events?

Is it effective?, does it cost much? Is there anything I should know before I start?

I want to target people in a certain city with certain music taste

    Very effective when you have a very targeted audience that you want to market to. They have choices for you to target city and what they like

      Hi dreamtunnel

      I'm wondering if you might have more success advertising to this target audience to like your page, then bombarding them with updates about your event?

      Instead of using Facebook events, you could simply post big pictures which will appear in their newsfeed, capture their attention and have text overlaid such as 'So and so event 16th September - BE THERE!'

    FB ads are really effective if you know who your target audience are. But, don't forget to provide a catchy ad title. It helps to grab their attention and increase your clicks.

    I've never promoted an event through Facebook, but i know that Facebook works wonders for lead generation.

    My advice would be to create 3 similar ads, spend $10 on each, see what converts best, then take that one and pump some more money into it.

    Is your event a free event? If so really emphasise that.

    If you set your FB ads into targeted people in certain city or state, I would really say that this is going to be very effective in advertising your event.
