Earn the pastors trust — You need to have the pastor on your side before you can sell to the church. These free reprints will help you gain credibility.

It takes time to establish a trusting relationship with churches as you moved toward the goal of becoming a Church Communications Consultant. To help you do that, as I shared in an earlier post, I’ve put a new “PRINT” command on the articles on the Effective Church Communications (www.effectivechurchcom.com) website that will enable you to print off with the click of a mouse a PDF of the article for you to give away or attach in an email to give to churches.

But I realize that often in your busy schedule you don’t have time to do that, so I have links below to PDFs that are already done for you. Just click on the title and the PDF will download for you. I’ve also included a few comments about each article and who might be most interested in it and how you might use it.

Below are the articles mentioned in the PODCAST:

This is a good devotion to give to pastors and other leaders in a church communication ministry:
Devotion #1: The Reality of our situation—challenging spiritual warfare

This is a great encouraging devotion to give to church secretaries and others doing the hard work of church communications:
Devotion #8: You are the Great Ones and far more important than you realize

This is a good article to give to churches that are struggling with large numbers on their roles, but fewer people showing up on Sundays–in other words, most churches:
3,000 on your membership list, 350 in church, it may be a problem with internal marketing

Here are two articles to show that you are concerned about all the communication channels in a church:
Multi-Channel Communications advice from the publisher of USA TODAY
Essential website and social media house-keeping for fall

This is a more in-depth, strategic article that pastors will appreciate:
Foundation of The Five Steps–Disciple-making

Make friends with the Pastor make them Christmas Thank you cards!

November 17, 2016 by selltochurches Leave a Comment

Sales people often look for an way to connect with the Pastor and this is a great way to do it. Included here are Christmas Volunteer Thank you cards that you can use in many ways as a SAMPLE, but you can also personalize them with a picture of the Pastor.

In the samples below are two that illustrate what you can do on the back of the cards. On one of them you can put in a picture of people at the church or ministry or you can put in the picture of the Pastor as I mentioned. You could get a picture from the church secretary, make up the cards (the MS Publisher files are included in the ZIP file below)and then give them as a Christmas gift to the Pastor from your Dealership.

These cards also show the cardstock-handling abilities of ComColor machines and Digital Duplicators

Though thanking volunteers is incredibly important, churches may hesitate to print cards like this if they only have a copier because of cost and the challenges of handling card stock. But you can demonstrate with the RISO machines how quick, easy, and inexpensive it is do do on these machines.

You could also make a set of the samples and give them to the church as a very useful present that they will use through the holiday season. Remind the church that this is just one example of the useful communications they can create cost-effectively with RISO printing machines.

Below the samples below is the ZIP file that has ready to print PDFs, the Editable Publisher files and jpeg files of all the samples if you’d like to do something like advertise them to clients through email or a company newsletter.

The video below is an overview of dozens of Christmas communications you can share with your churches and below them is a link to the Effective Church Communications site where you can download them. You can use these as samples, you can also download the MS Publisher file and modify them for your churches.

HOWEVER!!!! you must be a Member of Effective Church Communications to do that. I have given all of the RISO Sales Force Free Lifetime Membership in the site, but you must sign up for it to take advantage of it. CLICK HERE to go to the post that tells you how to do that.

For your church clients, it’s time to be getting out Fall Festival (of many kinds) invitations to your communities and we have a whole new set for you! Many churches today do a “Fall Festival” instead of an alternative Halloween celebration. But no matter what your churches do, this is a great set of samples that you can use for both Digital Duplicators and ComColor Machines.
