How to Promote your Online Church Business Directory
Announcement Video
You have agreed to play the announcement videos on October 13th, October 20th and October 27th, as well as a "Last Weekend to Sign Up” verbal announcement on November 3rd. These announcements should be made prior to the offering if possible.
Business Directory Link
You will need to find a permanent location for the business directory link on your website home page. This link should be easy to find, and in place by the first week announcement date if possible. It will allow members to view your business directory, and can greatly increase traffic to your church website. The button should link back to this address:

Email Blast
It is important to send out two email blasts to reach those business owners who might have missed services and/or announcements. You will find proposed verbiage for a first and second email blast below:
Banner to Sign Up
It is recommended that you place a banner into your website rotation, giving new businesses the opportunity to sign up for the directory. This banner should be in in place by your first or second announcement week.

Bulletin Announcement
We also recommend including a written announcement in the bulletin about the directory. This will explain why the business information card is in the bulletin and is especially important if the announcement plays after the offering is taken.
