Great information kiosk—wish more churches had one like it!

15 August, 2016 By Yvon Prehn 2 Comments

Revolving Church Info KioskMany churches do incredible things to communicate and I saw a fantastic one a few days ago I couldn't wait to share with you--this is a church information kiosk at New Life Community Church In Pismo Beach, CA. My husband and I attended the Global Leadership Summit at that site. To the left is what it looks like.

You'll be able to see right away what a great set-up it is because it is a revolving rack with the different topics on each side:

The racks on each side are attached with velcro so they can be moved or positioned as needed.

Not only that, but where it was was great

The second greatest place to post church communications

Bathroom holder for Church News
This was in the stall of a church bathroom and is a great way to communicate important announcements at church.

The best place to post church communications is the refrigerator. No matter how glued we are to our phones, the refrigerator is still communication central for every home because it's the place where we post the schedules, reminders, all the stuff that actually gets us to activities and ministries at church.

The second best place is the church bathroom.

Seriously.

Think about it, especially for the ladies. You have people's undivided attention, for a least a minute or so.

In the past I recommended this and got some great responses, both in terms of ingenuity and in how successful they can be. The one I remember most was the Stall Street Journal, a great summary of key church events that was published each week and posted in the bathrooms.

The latest example

This last week my husband and I were at the Global Leadership Conference put on by Willow Creek. We were at the site at the New Life Community Church in Pismo Beach. My first stop after the drive from Ventura and a quick registration was of course the bathroom and there I saw the GREAT bathroom communication reminder posted here. [Read more...]

Church Signs, what works and what to be careful about

7 March, 2016 By Yvon Prehn 4 Comments

Church signs, important tools for ministry
Church signs are important tools for ministry, here are tips to make the most of them.

 

Recently a church communication elder asked me about the effectiveness of electronic church signs.  She sent this link in reference to the sign their church was considering: http://curbappealled.com/. She added that a church member had donated the money for it and asked for my comments on it. I'm always happy to respond to requests from church communicators and though I can't guarantee how quickly I will respond, please send questions or suggestions for content on this site to: yvon@effectivechurchcom.com.

First, I'd like to offer some comments on a sign like this and then on signs overall. If you have any more comments on signs, examples of effective signage, or sources for good ones, please add them to the comments below.

As to my answer whether or not to get a professionally designed electronic sign—the answer to this is easy—go for it! Particularly, if the other businesses in your area have similar signs, you want people to be able to clearly find you as a church. Having said that a sign like this can be very good for your church, following are a few other comments that might be helpful.
