Some Direct Mail Tips

Bob FranquizUncategorized

Here's 4 tips that will greatly help you the next time your church does a direct mail campaign: 1. Keep any direct mail that you like. It doesn't matter what it's advertising. Great direct mail is always a source of good ideas.  2. Keep the "worst of the worst" direct mail you get. A lot of church mail tends to fall in this category unfortunately. But this file of direct mail will remind you what sins you should never commit.  3. Political mail – I am seeing some amazing political direct mail this time of year. It doesn't matter the … Read More

Why is Your Direct Mail Not Working?

Bob FranquizChurch

One of the reasons churches get poor results in their direct mail is because they don't track their results. Here's the truth: if you aren't tracking your results, you have no idea if your direct mail is working or not.  Butts in the seats is not the only way to see if your direct mail is working. While I would agree that someone attending your church is the end result we want, there are other factors involved.  1. Someone could get your direct mail and go to a confusing website and not attend 2. Someone could get your direct mail and … Read More

The Loneliest Person in the World

Bob FranquizUncategorized

Do you know who the loneliest person in the world is? If you're a Senior Pastor, it's you! Yes I know you have friends and I know you have a team that you love, but truth be told, being the leader is always the loneliest place to be. That's why we have to be in learning environments with other leaders who are going through EXACTLY the same things we are and learn from each other.  That's one of the reasons I invest time into coaching Senior Pastors, because I know that we need to learn from each other, rejoice with … Read More

Coaching Matters (and a potential Scholarship)

Bob FranquizUncategorized

I've been getting feedback from the coaching network that just ended.  I had a group of great guys that are making a difference for the Kingdom! (By the way, we're seeing an average of 20% growth from the churches involved in the network) Someone offered to partially scholarship a Pastor who wants to be in the network, but finances are a concern. If you want to be considered for the scholarship, send in your application ASAP. Some have already applied for it and we'll do our best to help as many Pastors as possible.
