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

By 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.

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.
