Church Marketing Is A Must
Still not convinced this is a program your church needs to know about? Church marketing is important to growth. In the digital age, online marketing is crucial.
For instance, one church focused on Facebook ads to market themselves and grew to over 250, 000 likes. This is 250,000 people the church reaches on a regular basis. Their budget was $5 per day, which equates to $150 to $155 per month. With the Google Ad Grants program, you get $10,000 per month for free to advertise to more users than Facebook has. Imagine what type of results you could get with that budget.
