Send an update to Facebook Page Fans

In 2011, Facebook disabled "Fan Page Updates".

This setting use to notify all of the fans via private message. Even though its gone, you can still send "updates" to fan. Here are some options for updating everyone connected to your fan page. How to send an update to Facebook Page Fans.

 

Method 1 of 4: Posting a Status Update


 

  1. Post a status update. Status updates are only visible in the news feeds of fans briefly. They will always be visible on your page, however there is no formal notification outside of the visibility in their news feed.
     
  2. Go to the page. As the page administrator, use your search bar to arrive at the fan page itself.



     
  3. Scroll to the status update bar. It says "What's on your mind?" Fill out the update and press "Post".
     
 

Method 2 of 4: Generating an Event

  1. Generate an event. This is great for creating awareness for your page. These updates will send like all other event invites. However, the information for the update will not be directly displayed on your page, but instead link to the event itself.
     
  2. Go to the page. As the page administrator, use your search bar to arrive at the fan page itself.



     
  3. Scroll to the status update bar. It says "What's on your mind?" > Click "Event, Milestone +" > Select "Event".


     

  4. A new screen will pop up. It will allow you to input the information for the event. Fill out the fields as desired.


     
  5. Create the event. You will be carried to the event page as soon as you click "create". Select the "Share" button in the upper right corner of the page.


     
  6. Fill out the information sections and press "Share Event". Now the information is available on your timeline and the page's timeline also.
     

Method 3 of 4: Sending a Message from the "Page"

 
  1. Send a message. Messages, while providing the same notification message that "Fan Page Updates" once did, are not as simple to create. Instead of selecting the group as a whole, you are required to select each name individually. Moreover, this has to be done from your private account and cannot be done as an admin of your page.
  • This is not recommended.


Method 4 of 4: Creating an Advertisement
 

  1. Create an advertisement. This is effective in creating an audience pool to your update, however it costs money. At the end of the information survey it will ask you for the budget in which you would like to work with. Note that the budget will directly correlate to how often this update is seen.

     
  2. As the page administrator, use your search bar to arrive at the fan page itself.



     
  3. Select "Build Audience" in the upper right corner of the page.

     
  4. Select "Create an Advert" and fill out the information.
