About Company

Who are we? Church Marketing Solutions is committed to helping churches reach their communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ through marketing products, services, and educational programs. Unlike most marketing organizations, we exist to serve churches, not to make a profit. Our first priority is helping Christian churches reach the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our second priority is to support church planting initiatives, primarily in the form of marketing services. What distinguishes us from other marketing organizations? Church Marketing Solutions is not profit-driven. Our core ideology (as defined by our purpose, beliefs and values) is rooted in educating and helping churches become more effective. We are able to offer high-quality marketing services at a cost lower than is typically available directly through other commercial vendors AND we also guarantee that any profit will be used to support church planting and other Kingdom initiatives. Why do we exist?

Church Marketing Solutions is a one stop shop (i.e. churches can receive all of their marketing services through Church Marketing Solutions) for the following services: . Online Tutorials – Our free online tutorials are designed to educate churches on each step of the marketing process (e.g. marketing strategy, copywriting, graphic design, printing, mail lists, labeling, postal requirements). · Seminars – Our one day seminar provides a hands-on, practical overview of the process of marketing with a focus on the basic steps of direct mail marketing. Several case studies will be used to explain the process. · CARDSHARE – This unique service is all about churches helping churches by providing a library of high-quality, royalty-free cards that have been used by churches across the country. Through CARDSHARE, churches have FREE access to high-quality card designs (a significant benefit for most churches). When one church decides to print a card through CARDSHARE, other member churches will be informed and given an opportunity to join in the order. As the volume of cards increases, all churches share in the reduced cost per card. Membership in Church Marketing Solutions is free and ensures churches receive updates for all cards added to CARDSHARE. Design Services - We offer custom design services. · Card Printing Services – We have negotiated reduced prices through our preferred printers. A proven record of low cost, high quality, and solid customer service are requirements in selecting our preferred printers. Prices through our print shops will be lower than most churches can obtain on their own. · Mail Shop Services – We will offer mailing lists and labeling services at a substantially lower price than is available to most churches through commercial vendors. What is our strategy? Our strategy is simple. · Educating: Educate churches on the process of marketing through online tutorials and seminars. · Enabling: Help all churches to attain the cost and quality benefits typically available only to churches that are doing high volume marketing. Enable churches that have been prohibited by the cost of marketing to start marketing even if their volumes are low. · Savings: Offer substantial cost savings to larger churches that are already doing high volume marketing. · Sharing: Provide a conduit for churches to help other churches through the sharing of card designs. Allow high-quality card designs to be used by as many churches as possible to increase the impact to the Kingdom. · Giving Back: Apply profits to church planting and other Kingdom initiatives, primarily in the form of marketing services. what are our values and operating principles?
