How to Share a Facebook Event:

A Quick Guide for Traders

When you’re trading at a market or fair, visibility is everything. The more people who know you’ll be there, the more potential customers you’ll meet on the day. One of the simplest ways to boost your reach — without spending a penny — is by sharing the organiser’s Facebook event.

Why Traders Should Share the Event

Sharing the event isn’t just helping the organiser — it directly helps you:

• More footfall = more sales

• Your customers know where to find you

• It builds excitement around your brand

• It shows you’re active, engaged, and part of the community

• It helps the whole market succeed, which lifts everyone

A single share can reach hundreds of potential customers who may not follow the main event page.
