REACHING AND RECEIVING IN THE NAME OF CHRIST Your web presence is your new front door
Marketing, publicity, and pastoral care are blending together
A vital social media presence will be seen as a sign of a vital congregation
Be sure to greet those that like your facebook page
Make sure all of your materials mention your social media (include icons)
Place QR codes strategically Put a “check-in” sign at the entrance to your sanctuary
Make sure you have an opt-in check box for your email list every time you ask for an email.
Marketing is never wrong when the message is Christ.
