Social Media for Churches PDF for you to share with your church clients

August 3, 2017 by selltochurches Leave a Comment

MinTech article on Social Media
If a social media ministry is a challenge for your church, check out this article for ways to make it manageable.

Ministry Tech Magazine just published my article on Social Media for Churches and I wanted to pass on the PDF to you, CLICK HERE or on the image to download it. One of the most valuable things about this article is the advice by Holly Veturis from Saddleback Church on putting together a team of people (advocates, she calls them) to be the primary creators of your church social media.

I heard her talk about this at the Saddleback MarCom Church Communicator’s conference this summer and just loved the idea. It seemed to me that it is a fantastic modern-day example of how the Body of Christ can work together. No one in the church office has time to do all the print and website work required, PLUS all the social media that is a vital part of any church communication program today.

At the same time there are people in every church who just LOVE to be on social media. They are good at it and enthusiastic in what they share. Rather than trying to add additional burdens to the people in the church office (unless they happen to be the kind who spend every break and lunch on social media), consider following her advice and putting together a social media team.

This is a great handout to download and pass on to churches–it shows you care about the entire church communications process, not just print and helps establish you as a trusted church communications consultant.

Strategy–sell to Printers who sell to churches and a webinar to help you do that

Sell to Churches Podcast[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/5455160/height/45/width/450/theme/standard/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/autoplay/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/” height=”45″ width=”450″]Let’s be honest, one of the biggest obstacles to selling the RISO ComColor machine to churches is the cost. In the past, you could easily sell Digital Duplicators (and you still can) to any size church confident that any church could afford one. That isn’t the case with the ComColor and the number of churches that can afford it has shrunk significantly.

But WHAT IF……a group of smaller churches could get together to buy a machine and they could all use it when needed to get printing done very quickly and cost-effectively when they didn’t need glossy finish printing. The ComColor is PERFECT for postcards, children’s materials, connection cards, door-hangers and so much more.

Now bear with me, this will take work, coordination and some strategic thinking, but what if you could sell ComColor machines (one or multiples) to the printers in your area AND you help them market to the smaller churches in their area. You have access on this website and the Effective Church Communications website to samples, Lunch & Learn materials, tips and ideas you could pass on to them to help THE PRINTERS market to and serve the churches. If you help the Printers get clients, not only will they love you for it, but indirectly you are greatly increasing your supply sales.

I know many of you have HUGE lists of churches you serve and this can be a way to continue to serve them, plus make significant machine and supply sales to the PRINTERS who serve them.

What prompted me to start thinking this way is that I was asked by Andre D’Urbano to do a webinar for Idealliance, the professional group for Printers on “What churches print.” Information on that webinar is below, plus a CODE for the RISO community and all the printers you want to give it out to, to be able to attend the webinar for FREE.

The webinar is not until July 27, and until then, if you have ideas, questions, or anything you specifically want me to talk about in the webinar, email me at: yvonthechurchlady@gmail.com.

Let me know if you think this idea is useful or any feedback you’d like to share would be great. I’ll continue to work on ideas related to this as I do believe this is a great win/win for everyone, for all of you, your dealers, the printers and churches!

A PDF to share on How to Start a Men’s Ministry, plus business cards–a second way to contact male decision makers

June 5, 2017 by selltochurches 1 Comment

Make a cover letter to go with this PDF and share it with your churches along with sample Men’s Ministry Business Cards.

As mentioned in the previous article, usually the men of the church make the final buying decisions whether or not to buy equipment, but sometimes it can be hard to reach them. The samples in the previous article is one way and here is another. It is a PDF of an article on Dos and Don’t for a successful launch of a men’s ministry. Just click here or on the image to the right to download a copy you can either email or take around and share.

You can download and print this and then create a cover letter that introduces you and your company and let’s them know that you want them to be successful in their ministry to men at the church. You are giving them this article as helpful advice, plus you’d love to personalize and print up business cards (samples below) to help them get started.

Below are images of the cards and then below them a ZIP file that has either ready-to-print PDFs that you can modify on the back or editable MS Publisher files.

Reach Church Decision Makers with Samples for Father’s Day!

Sell to Churches Podcast[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/5421403/height/45/width/450/theme/standard/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/autoplay/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/” height=”45″ width=”450″]Not only is Father’s Day one more holiday in the church where you have a reason to show churches samples of what you can print, but one bonus of doing up these samples is that they WILL be seen by the men of the church and in most churches it is the men on the boards and the men in pastoral leadership who make the buying decisions for the church.

This gives you a flyer/bulletin sample as well as a Connection Card sample. These samples can showcase benefits of the ComColor printer in these ways:

The flyer/bulletin insert for Father’s Day shows how they can create a colorful, attractive ministry flyer for very low cost. You don’t have to have glossy color for bulletin inserts and speed in production makes them realistic to produce.

The Connection Card is especially useful because:

  • It is best printed on lightweight card stock, which the ComColor can handle easily at high speeds.
  • Even more important is that because the ComColor is true ink-on-paper, you can write over images, lines, etc. easily.

Below are images of what you can print for your churches and following the images are the links for you to download ZIP files that have both ready-to-print PDFs of these images as well as editable MS Publisher files.
