The Church Marketing Playbook: Throwing Wide Open Your Digital Front Doors

It was an absolute pleasure to present at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary this week. Here's the description shared with attendees:


The Church Marketing Playbook: Throwing Wide Open Your Digital Front Doors

Within the next 4 to 40 months, you can confidently say you'll be carving out Saturday mornings for church workdays, receiving emails titled, "Re: New lawnmower" from your grounds elder, and vacuuming cheerios off the red carpet in the back pews. Why? Because you care deeply about your message and want to see it represented well to your community. Are you equally as confident about the time, staffing, or money you'll allocate toward representing your message online?

Questions? Just reply.

In my opinion, that price is a little ridiculous for your average local...

I read some e-commerce advice the other day that got me thinking... Someone I follow on Instagram has had great success selling website planning worksheets as an onramp to her business courses and consulting services. She knows her repeat customer rate is 60% (which is insanely high in e-commerce). Once someone buys her $5 printable worksheet, they're highly likely to buy her $300 course, then some of them will buy her group and private consulting. The advice that piqued my interest? "Don't...

How to turn any paper-and-pen scribble into a dynamic Canva icon... I know the right people will geek out over this one with me 🤪 Instead of reading: Follow along with my video tutorial! What do I mean when I say "Canva icon"? Well, it's like this: You can change the icon's color freely -- not just changing the shade of the image You can scale it up really large without losing image quality Have you noticed that when you use elements on Canva some of them follow these rules and some do not?...
