How to Promote your Online Church Business Directory
Announcement Video
Play the announcement video below on the Sunday that you plan on launching your business directory. It would also be good if you could play it 2 or 3 Sundays after to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to be in the business directory. 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:

Dear Church Family,
We are very excited to introduce The River Clermont Business Directory. If you are a business owner or professional, we encourage you to sign up by clicking the link below. Every business in our church will receive a complimentary listing, and there will also be advertising opportunities if you wish more exposure to our church family.
If you are not a business owner or professional, we encourage you to consider supporting a Christian Owned business and more specifically, one from our own church. Our new business directory will be available online at our church website as well as an app for your phone. Using the business directory will help us all grow closer as a church family and follows the biblical mandate found in Galations 6:10 which says, “Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.” (HCSB)

Dear Church Family,
We are very excited to report that The River Clermont Business Directory is turning out to be a huge success. In just a few short weeks, we have many businesses signed up with new businesses signing up every day. Not only is this a great opportunity for business owners and professionals in our church, but an opportunity for members to support church businesses and to build new relationships. Businesses who have already connected with our representatives have been overwhelmingly positive in their praise of how this will help us stay connected as a church family.

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.
