    The Email Marketing for Churches Episode

    Email marketing isn't for only the most savvy or the mega churches. Any church of any size can capitalize on email and transform it into their strongest tool for communication.

In this episode of the Church Marketing Podcast we debunk email marketing myths, we address email marketing mistakes, we pick low hanging email marketing fruit and we build a checklist of tips you can implement right now to get your email working for you and generating response for every ministry in your church.

Excellent resource for every Christian leader

I spent a few years working in a church setting, but now I work in the online content-creation space. Many of my bad marketing habits were picked up from church. Thankfully this podcast is helping me change that!
Church people are not inherently more boring than others, or more susceptible to lazy communication - so we, as Christians leading in a ministry or non-ministry setting, have to do better.
This podcast is full of useful ideas, real examples, and strategy that makes sense. The host and guests have an excellent grasp on this subject, especially with how it relates to the modern church and the issues it faces.
I love this podcast and can't recommend it enough!
