Church Signs Fill Advertising Gap for Cash-Strapped Churches reports EZSignsOnline.com
More and more congregations are relying on Market Street Church Signs with changeable copy to advertise their services and events. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to advertise, because each time they need to advertise or promote a new church event, they can use the same sign.
Worton, Md. (PRWEB) June 18, 2009 -- It's one of those effects of a bad economy that you seldom consider until someone mentions it: Churches are not advertising as much, and as a result, are not drawing as many people to their services (as reported by D. Burke, Religion News Service).
The lagging advertising trend is due to a couple of reasons, both related to the current recession: First, people are giving less in the church offering, which means the church has less money to spend on radio or newspaper ads. And second, newspapers, which are on the verge of extinction, are raising their ad rates, struggling to break even--and often pricing churches out of the market.
Market Street Church Sign
Wayne Hebert is owner of EZSignsOnline.com LLC. He sees more and more congregations relying on their affordable Market Street Church Signs to advertise their services and events. And he says this is at least partly due to the struggling economy. "Churches really have felt the punch of the recession. And unfortunately, one of the first things they let go is their advertising budget. But the smart ones have started to see that a church sign, with changeable text, is one of the most cost-effective ways to advertise, because each time you need to advertise a new event, you can use the same sign; you don't have to dump new money into a newspaper ad that fewer and fewer people are seeing anyway."
Hebert says it was this cost-effectiveness that his company had in mind when they began developing their Market Street Church Signs."These Market Street Church Signs utilize a 'marquee style' changeable lettering system. A complete set of letters are included. They are available in 3 different sizes to suit your needs. We can personalize your new church sign with plain text or full color artistic layouts using your logo, photo and graphics or ours. "
The signs are made from a 1" thick solid PVC signboard and designed for maintenance free long term outdoor use. The company also offers several mounting options and all of their signs feature easy, fast assembly and installation.
Another issue that Hebert says was foremost in his mind in developing his lines of signs was the weather. During the summer months, which is the height of severe-weather season in many parts of the country, many conventional signs can take quite a beating. "The best church signs are those which can handle what Mother Nature can dish out, so wherever you get your church sign,, I would encourage you to keep the weather foremost in your mind," Hebert says. "It's a waste of money to get a sign that's destroyed the first few months you have it. Purchase a sign that is designed for long-term outdoor use with no maintenance required."
Hebert notes that his company's signs are rigid, strong and lightweight and handle all weather conditions well. "I also want to do a favor to churches, especially those who are struggling financially," Hebert says. "So during the summer months, when I know a lot of churches traditionally have a lot of events going on that they need to promote, we're offering 15 percent off all our list prices, and special discounted shipping rates. We are also offering a free fundraising window decal program to assist churches in raising funds for their new church sign. The fundraiser decals are available free of charge. With at least a $5.00 suggested retail price, your church building committee can then sell these decals as a fundraiser. Your church keeps 100% of the proceeds to offset your recent purchase of a new church entrance sign from us."
