Great Ad,

I am going to send this to my pastor. We have a weekly radio spot but a short ad might be a good idea.

I didn't mention the other services because:

A. It would have taken too long
B. Most unchurched folk are familiar with Sunday service but not other days.

Very smart! They'll find out about the other services and ministries once they set foot in the door. One of the secrets to successful advertising is to only give away enough info to get them to call or visit. Leave them wanting more info!

I liked the ad. The background music would appeal to all age groups. It was short and concise. I think it would peak someone's interest.

Good read. Good levels. Who scripted, you or the station? Are you getting a non-profit rate? I hope you get your return on investment!!!!!!!!!

The audience is secular. This will air on 3 different secular radio stations which pretty much covers our listening area. I do NOT advertise on Christian stations. I'm not against it. That is just not the crowd I want to spend my advertising $$$ on right now.

Enjoy, and get your creative juices flowing for your church! If you have a great church, and I assume that you do, then your community needs to know about it!!!

Can you tell me how much it cost?

We produce, write, and record ads for 6-7$ (for non-profits) per spot.

We came up with a great idea and sold 30 MINUTE spots to some local churches
and we even edited it for them.

We also started a program called "Powerpoint" where pastors of all churches came in and I recorded their 5 minute sermon and then I found an appropriate song to tie in with what they talked about. We gave every church in town a list
of who would speak for the following year...our listeners LOVED it. We also gave the church of the week a plug (location, times of services, and special events)
If this is an idea that appeals to you, go and talk to your local station's program director.
