Performances of Shakespeare's plays have been advertised on fb, tumblr, twitter, the back of milk trucks, on milk bottles, painted on cows which were walked through the town with someone ringing a bell, on sky scrapers, billboards, tv, flags flown behind planes . . .
If you are asking about the performances in which Shakespeare actually acted, we don't know exactly but handbills and word of mouth were probably part of it. If the company was on tour (and Shakespeare did do that) they might have had a parade into town to advertise. Possibly with a cow and someone ringing a bell.
When William Shakespeare wrote his plays people were notified by a horn that was played but once on a play they fired a cannon up in the air and the roof was made of straws so the globe (Shakespeare's theater not the world) blew up in flames.
Word of mouth, handbills, and flags have been suggested. But we are just speculating--there is no evidence.
The actors and people who went to the play spread the word about it

Could you eat and drink in the globe theatre?
The Globe Theatre was destroyed by fire in 1613. A replacement built the next year was destroyed by the Puritans in 1643. "Shakespeare's Globe" a modern reconstruction of the Globe Theatre was built in 1997 and hosts regular performances. Patrons can eat and drink during performances, food and drink are sold in the theatre before performances and during the interval. While food and drink are perhaps enjoyable during a performance, a the cushions, which are also obtained from vendors, are a necessity. The wooden benches become quite uncomfortable without them.
