How would Jesus market your business?
|
Perhaps you approach marketing as a chore, something you have to do on top of all the other hats you wear. It can sometimes seem like it's in the way of the actual work God has placed on your heart. That all that work of emailing and posting on social media and "showing up" is a necessary evil taking us away from the real work we've been called to. Or maybe you don't mind it, but you don't feel like you get marketing. Isn't marketing just complicated, sleazy, and full of tricks to get people to buy things? How could that possibly apply to your mission of helping people encounter Jesus? But what if I told you that the marketing work you do is actually holy? (And not just the sanctifying kind when you're fighting with WordPress code or posting that Reel for the 3rd time because the app keeps crashing.) In fact, what if it was just as holy as the call God first put on your heart? Because yes, you want to share Jesus with as many souls as possible. That's why you're doing this work most likely. But the only way to do that is if we have souls finding our businesses in the first place. And that takes marketing. So what if Catholic marketing was just strategic evangelization? (It is.) What if Jesus used Catholic marketing to grow the early Church? (He did.) What if we are actually divinely commissioned to market Jesus? (We are — see Matthew 28:19.) What if marketing our business was really simple and we could just follow what Jesus did? (It is and we can.) If that's the case...then we have to ask ourselves, how would Jesus market our business? And that's the question we're going to explore in a free webinar I'm hosting on February 6. We'll be unpacking 5 essential strategies that Jesus used to grow the early Church that we can use to grow our businesses today. 👋 Things like how to actually find the people God has called you to reach (and how to even know who they are) 🙏 And how to actually get people to buy without all the sleaze 📱 And which marketing channels you need to worry about and which you can ditch. And a whole lot more. The answers are all right there in the Bible! And I'll be showing you how to grow your business the Jesus way during this free webinar.

"Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope." - 1 Peter 3:15 Most of the time, we talk about how to market your church to get people to come to you. But a few times a year, you likely have the opportunity to bring your church to people. Ecumenical prayer services. Community days and parades. And of course, the Corpus Christi procession. The day where you literally bring Jesus to the people in a very public way. Of course, that's likely to bring up...
I can't believe I missed this one. I was a guest on a podcast a few years ago and the host asked me something along the lines of, "What skills do people need to be good at marketing?" I replied that marketing comes down to a combination of three skills, really. Most people are not naturally gifted in all three, but if you have two out of the three, you can usually get by. I still stand by those three, but there's a fourth one I missed that's actually the most important. We determined last...
Marketing as Ministry #1: Marketing can be holy. I'd planned on going with her all along. Before our third child was even born, I knew exactly who I wanted as a lactation consultant. After struggles with nursing my first two, I was determined to make it work for baby #3, so I planned ahead to find someone before she was even born. There was one consultant who was often referenced in our area, and though her marketing was pretty sparse, I saved her info on my phone for if we needed it. So when...
