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
