It may be Monday, but Easter is coming. 5 Tips To Planning for Easter

Posted by Unknown | | Posted On Tuesday, April 5, 2011 at 6:00 AM

As one of the 2 times a year when some guests come to church we are working feverishly towards our Easter weekend. We are planning for an exciting weekend and getting plans finalized and implemented.

  1. Create invite Buzz-Use of personal invitation, social media, invite cards, door hangers, street signs or flying billboards are just a few ideas for Easter marketing. It not to late to get something done. Some valuable ideas and links for this at the bottom of the blog but don't skip the other 4 great tips. :)
  2. Match the experience to regular environment- Make sure not to overproduce your Easter experience only to disappoint your guests in following weeks. Make you experience a real representation of what you church is like the rest of the year.
  3. All staff and volunteers on deck-We have blackout dates for vacations during Easter weekend and Christmas Eve. You need every available ministry team leader involved on Easter.
  4. Plan for space needs- Plan for overflow in adult seating and children's classrooms. Have a backup plan for your backup plan.
  5. Have a thorough follow up plan- We use: Nelson Searcy's follow up plans and have found them to be very helpful. Getting the 2 time a year guest to take the next step and come back off holiday is a win. Use whatever plan works for you, but have a plan that leads to a win for the Kingdom this Easter.
