Church Marketing Sucks points towards Tim Schraeder’s blog where he talks about how they stopped the insanity of weekly bulletins and switched to a monthly.

A few questions follow after the quotations:

Surprisingly, this was an easy sell to our staff, but I was unsure how it would be received by our church… and the response (having done this for a month now) has been great. People love it! It’s got everything they need to know, it’s compact, it’s simple, and it’s something that they can pass on to a friend.

...

Final thoughts… while this decision made sense for us, we know it’s not for everyone. Not everyone is mobile and connected like our church is, but what I can say anyone can take away from this is: know the primary way your audience receives information and communicate to them that way!

Head over to his blog post to read about why and how they did this.

Does your church still have a traditional weekly bulletin? Does your church do anything else differently to pass along information to the congregation? What do the church secretaries that read this blog think about the switch? Any other thoughts?
