About Church Marketing Lab (beta)

The idea is to help churches do better marketing. Share your work, share your feedback, everybody wins. Share something that's already in the can and out the door, or share a work in progress and put the comments to use. We're also getting together locally through the Local Labs.

Check out our detailed guidelines, or get the basic overview below.

Guidelines

1) Be Nice
Our goal is to help churches improve, so keep it nice. Offer constructive criticism and remember that the person who posted the image is looking for advice and feedback, not a thrashing.

2) What to Post
Any church marketing or communications efforts are acceptable. This includes bulletins, postcards, newsletters, posters, banners, business cards, signage, letterhead, web sites—whatever. If you can post an image, it's good.

While any church marketing is fair game, please be considerate of the community and don't post everything you've ever designed at once. Dumping all your work at once is overwhelming, will result in fewer comments, and will push back other people's work.

3) What Not to Post
Please note that images should come from the originating church or creator. No fair submitting a neighboring church—if they want feedback they can post something themselves. This group is also limited to church marketing—we don't do ministry marketing, para-church marketing, Christian business marketing, etc. Commercial solicitations are also not cool. We will remove images that don't fit this guideline.

4) Optimize Feedback
Tell us as much as you can about your project in the image description. Tell us about your church (give us a url!), what the image is for, any relevant back-story, if it's already gone out or is still in process, what kind of feedback you're looking for, etc. The more people know the more they can help.

Who's Behind This
The Church Marketing Lab (beta) grew out of the peer review section from the blog Church Marketing Sucks and is organized by the Center for Church Communication. We hope you'll consider supporting the Center for Church Communication.
