Postcards: For Missing Members & how to get people to come back to church

7 September, 2011 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Miss you CardPostcards are a great way to contact people to let them know they are missed at church and you want them to return.

They work so much better than a letter because they are easier to read—you don't have to open an envelope and even if you don't read the whole thing, chances are you will at least get the message that the church cares about you. If you'd like to see a brief video that discusses this and gives you a preview of the other cards, CLICK HERE.

Click on the image to the right to download the free PDF of this card. It is ready to be printed and you can personalize it on the back.

Editable templates, other versions of the cards in PDF and hi and low resolution images

In addition to the design above, the postcard designs below are available for Effective Church Communication Members. At the end of this article is a ZIP file that contains:

  1. Editable MS Publisher files so you can change them any way you want
  2. Ready-to-print PDFs of all the designs if you want to use them as is
  3. Both hi res (300 dpi) and low res (96 dpi) so you can use the images themselves in any way you want: printed publications including your newsletter, online, on email newsletters or your website.

Here are the additional images available:

A giant postcard is used for successful promotion of a Christian Camp

3 December, 2009 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

This BIG postcard worked well as great PR for a Christian camp, and an updated one can serve all sorts of PR purposes for your church

This PDF is from a number of years ago and you'd definitely want to upgrade the design. We have come a long way since the early days of desktop publishing in the kind of designs we are able to create.

But regardless of the way you design your postcard the ideas in this are timeless and two of the key ideas are: 1) the value of a postcard and 2) the impact of a BIG postcard. Even in this age of digital technology, a big postcard with ONE message is certain to make an impact.

Today for postcard creation and production, check out www.morguefile.com for free artwork and www.vistaprint.com (or other online printers) as a way to get full-color, free images and cheap printing.
