    Ministry Tip
    Organizing Your Marketing/Publicity

    Efforts to reach the community around you will be more effective if you can organize your efforts:

     

    • Develop a marketing plan. A marketing plan for your event or church determines markets and how to reach them. Having a marketing plan lets you allocate your budget wisely and spend in ways that are more effective in reaching your market.
    • Know your audience. If you’re producing a brochure for a youth ministry, it had better look different than a brochure for seniors! Use marketing methods, graphics, and writing that will appeal to them.
    • Compile a “facts-at-a-glance” page. When assembling marketing material, keep track of all the information that needs to be publicized—dates, times, location, contact people. Put all the info on a single page so you can refer to it easily.
    • Keep files of what other churches are doing. Look at them for examples, and inspiration (and possibly what not to do!). Don’t copy their designs, but look for ideas and new ways of trying things. See what doesn’t work well, too, and avoid their errors.
    • Collect advertising information in one location. As you receive media kits, advertising rates and promotions, keep all the information in one place so you can compare prices and find what you need quickly.

    Event Idea Idea
    Friends, Flip Flops & Chocolate

    Description: A pre-summer or summer get together. Everyone was asked to wear their "fanciest" flip- flops. Some were homemade and adorable! We had a flip-flop beauty review and had the ladies "model" their flip-flops. (For our event the hostesses' husbands were judges.) The winner won a flip-flop wreath, which consisted of hot glueing inexpensive flip-flops together with bright colored silk flowers glued to each flip flop. It makes a cute wreath for your door for summer!

    Our refreshments were all chocolate items and we had a devotion on friends. The ladies said this was one of their favorite times we've had together!

    IceBreaker
    Pass the Potato

    Objectives: Laughter and Interaction

    Materials: A potato or ball. CD Player and a favorite musical CD.

    Procedure: Have the ladies form a circle. The leader starts the music and the ladies pass the potato. With her back to the group, the leader randomly stops the music. The lady with the potato sits down. Continue until the winner is left. The winner receives a small gift. Much fun... Much laughter.
