How to Market Your Upcoming Church Retreat

So you've figured out all the details of your church retreat…

Theme Location Speakers

So your job is done, right?Not so fast!

Now it's time to promote your retreat to ensure you achieve the attendance and participation you are hoping for.

Of course, you want to start promoting your event as early as possible in order to reach the most people. It's best to start promoting as far out as 4 - 6 months ahead of your event date

Promote from Within

Great idea to create a special page on your church website. Be sure to include the following information

Theme Location Speakers

Dates Scheduled events Pricing

Emails are another great tool to promote your church retreat

Not everyone can afford a large, one-time payment for your church retreat. Also, not every adult is as comfortable investing "family money" on themselves

Irresistible Incentives

For those slow to invest money up front in a retreat, consider offering a monthly payment plan option

Create a visual picture for potential attendees. With the use of brochures, slides, and photos from previous retreats

Draw a Picture, maybe literally

Be sure to show how needs will be met during the retreat, include attendees of all ages, as well as, retreat veterans and first-timers
