Getting Started
Once you are ready to proceed with your campaign, call us
- What you're promoting (event, sermon series, community awareness, etc.)
- The "personality" or culture of your church (conservative, contemporary, hi-tech, emergent, etc.)
- What your desired result is (call to action)
- Particular items or ministries you want to mention
- What makes your church unique
- What you have to offer
- Exact meeting location (for building a map)
- Mail permit number (non-profit or presort standard)
- High resolution digital copy of your logo (tiff, eps, etc.)
- Your budget
Our direct mail cards are slightly oversized at 9" x 6" and are full color on the front and back. All of our designs are CUSTOM MADE to your needs. For best results, we recommend doing at least 3-4 mailings per year. It's best to send a smaller number of postcards multiple times to the same area, rather than one mailing to a larger area. Direct Mail has a cumulative affect. Our most successful churches understand this and plan long-term. It is possible to print 3 or more cards at one printing to save a lot of money. The typical savings is around 10-20% depending upon how many designs you have us produce at one time. We can hold the ones that aren't ready to mail and only mail when you are ready. We are happy to do a "1-shot" mailing if you have financial constraints.
