CUSTOM POSTERS
Growing Your Congregation through Custom Poster Printing
Church printing of materials such as custom posters and flyers has played an important role in propagating the Christian faith since it was first done in Europe. The first book printed was a copy of the Bible. However, church printing is more than just bibles and programs. Printing is crucial in church marketing and outreach. Churches, like any other business, require custom poster printing.
Using Custom Posters to Promote Your Church
Here's a tried-and-true method for expanding your church through print marketing.
Understand what distinguishes your church.
Before you can build a print design for church posters, bible verse posters, or motivational posters, you must first consider what makes your church unique. Knowing one's "brand" is essential for most organizations, yet many churches miss it. The person or team in charge of your church's custom poster printing must grasp what makes your church unique. It can be your church's distinctive history, its charitable work, the gospel music, or any other feature that sets it apart from the rest. There has to be something that distinguishes it.
If, after spending some time to think things through, you still think that there isn’t anything else to it, consider creating that “certain something” your church can be known for and echo that message in all of your custom posters and other outreach materials. It could be contemporary worship, alternative service days and times, ministering to young married couples, or something as straightforward as “everybody belongs.”
Asses your congregation.
People may attend your services, but how well do you know them? Are they mostly married or still single? Do they have kids? How old are your members on average? How far are the majority of them from the church?
Understanding their behaviors, maybe through the collection of basic demographic information, can go a long way toward assisting you in developing the strategy you require for your custom posters. It will also assist you in developing poster prints for events and activities that will draw additional people like them to your church.
You must also remember that the members you now have are not necessarily the only ones to whom you wish to promote. Be open to reaching out to demographic groups that aren't currently attending your services through custom posters. They may be the ones who are in the most need of your church.
Come up with the appropriate strategy.
Now that you know what you have to give and what your members and potential attendees want, it's time to create an overarching strategy. Remember that your plan should not just comprise reaching out to them, but also convincing them to take action. Consider that in your custom posters.
Do you wish to be more involved in your programs or missions? More people attending? Both? Whatever you decide, make certain that your main message is not diluted in your custom poster printing.
Determine which church posters and other custom posters are most effective.
Use strategies that are appropriate for what you know about your church and its current and potential members. For example, if you live in a densely populated urban region with heavy foot traffic, custom posters, as well as banners and leaflet handouts could be a wise investment.
If you live in a remote region, you could try direct mail or door hangers. You can also sponsor a movie night and spread the word through Christian movie posters. You might even want to try them all at once. Don't get too hung up on using only one type of poster print.
The effectiveness and efficiency of your custom posters can be enhanced when you use them with social media. And, if your congregation has little more funds, you might perhaps attempt them in conjunction with a radio or TV commercial. Social media and conventional mass media can both effectively reach out to audiences. But for sealing the deal, custom poster printing is still the best way to go, short of personally meeting everyone.
Order quality custom posters.
Even churches that are low on resources should think twice about sacrificing the print quality of custom posters. Cheap printing of church posters can not only dilute the force of your message, but it can also become wrinkled and faded before it reaches your intended recipients.

Bonus - More people will come throughout the holidays.
Use the holidays, which have the highest attendance, to reach out to folks looking for a church. Entice them to attend service through well-crafted custom posters. Even if they don't go to church daily, many Christians desire to attend Easter and Christmas services.
Make sure your church's website is up to date with service schedules, and inform them of any special events or lessons for their children. Display custom posters with Easter and Christmas service times in front of your church so that people know when to attend.
Furthermore, many non-regular attendees look for community events hosted by your church, such as Easter egg hunts, fall festivals, or vacation bible school. These are excellent occasions to reach out to folks who are actively seeking a church.
Custom posters, postcards, and door hangers are common promotional tools for Christmas services and festivities. Magnets are also a terrific option because they will remind people of your church all year.
Designing Your Custom Posters
While the church posters will do the majority of the talking, it is your responsibility to answer questions and describe the work in greater detail. A great custom poster will not only capture the attention of the audience but will also clearly and concisely summarize the message of your church. Here are some pointers to help you create successful and effective custom posters.

A great custom poster will not only capture the attention of the audience but will also clearly and concisely summarize the message of your church. Here are some pointers to help you create successful and effective custom posters.
Content
- Determine the size of your custom posters and the amount of space available. Once you've determined this, you may begin to assess how much information you can offer. A custom poster's objective is not to just plaster every piece of information you have on a board, but to be short and clear in what you are attempting to portray. Make it clear what message your church posters are delivering so that relevant results can be achieved.
- Consider your target and what you want to achieve with your custom posters. This will help you choose a custom poster style. Church posters that deliver a straightforward message, for example, tend to be highly visual with non-technical information. Scientific posters, on the other hand, will feature more extensive and sophisticated content.
- Custom posters should typically have the following sections: a title section, an abstract or summary, a brief introduction, goals and objectives, and methodology, among others.
- Keep your title brief and to the point to capture the viewer's attention. The names of those participating in the work should also be included in the title section.
- Be judicious in the results you show in your custom poster. Exhibit only those that represent the primary purpose. Other information can always be kept nearby in case you are asked about them. Figures can be used to communicate facts in a simple manner, such as demonstrating patterns, but they should only be used to complement the text.
- The end of your custom posters should be the peak of your work and should address the project's key goals and objectives.
Layout and Format
- The text and data in your church posters must be organized logically and hierarchically. When we first encounter new information, we tend to read from top to bottom and left to right. As a result, it makes sense to organize your custom posters in this manner. For example, you could put your abstract in the top left corner and your conclusions in the bottom right corner. Keep in mind that the custom poster should be able to guide the reader through the content being displayed.
- An alternate arrangement to the one described above is to center the findings and have the supporting material radiate out from it.
- It may be useful to include arrows that guide attention to the presentation's sequence and order. However, excessive augmentation can be distracting and confusing.
- Maintain column widths that are easy to scan.
- Avoid presenting extensive and detailed pieces of text. Bullet points are often more effective and keep the reader's attention.
Images, Graphs, and Photos
- Graphics and visual pictures, when used correctly, can dramatically enhance your custom posters, enhancing both knowledge and attention. However, make sure that all graphics are related to your work and are linked by references in the text, such as figures and numbers.
- Make certain that all diagrams are well-labeled and visible. A micrograph, for example, should be 120 - 80 mm in size. Captions should be placed beneath the diagram/figure, and the figure should be near the necessary text.
- Captions on graphs and diagrams should be read horizontally wherever possible.
