Grow Your Local Biz with Paid Online Events

Online events, classes, and camps have become standard options for many local businesses over the past six months.  And we know that parents are hoping those opportunities don't disappear anytime soon. 

Most parents and kids have participated in Zoom or other video conference calls and are familiar with how they work.  But what if you could remove a step for your customers and offer your paid online events on a platform we know that 94% of moms are using regularly?

Enter an exciting new opportunity for hosting online events. Facebook is now allowing businesses to create, promote and host paid events all within the Facebook platform.

This new feature is called Paid Online Events and is available to qualified businesses in at least 20 countries worldwide, including the United States and Canada.

Savvy local marketers are already taking advantage of traditional Facebook events to help spread the word about their classes, workshops, or camps and now they can not only promote those events but also collect payment and host them live on Facebook.

Best of all?  Facebook has announced that you won't pay a penny (other than taxes) to use their Paid Online Events through December 31, 2020. 

If you've struggled with the logistics of hosting online options including collecting payments or sharing links, this could be a solution.  Let Facebook handle all the monetary details while you focus on creating amazing content and growing your business.
