I posted a question on my blog, requesting ideas you've found effective for your church newsletter. If you have ideas, please share

My church is in the process of creating and distributing an e-letter. We are designing the pg in the form of an interactive pdf with links. We are using a company called constant contact who offers a free 60 day trial to distribute and organize our contacts. We haven’t started the service with them quite yet, but we are going to before next month. We are using CC by attaching a link to our pdf vs sending it out our selves. if you have any questions or advice please email me.

I design websites and newsletters for churches and found this poll interesting. Most churches that have newsletters don’t realize that the fresh visual elements (or lack there of)say more about their content than their new articles and text updates.

just wondering how many send out a weekly newsletter vs email and cost savings, effectiveness, etc.

while I agree that 99 percent of church newsletters are ugly and ineffective, why did you stoop to using such a sordid euphemism for your name? The attempt at “cutting edge” is such a good witness.

Just curious–of those of you who have a newsletter, do you use a printed one or an electronic version? I send out our E-News every week, and while I think the layout and content are decent, I often feel like nobody reads it…

We have weekly bulletin that is on point. Clean lines (NO CLIPART!) and appropriate graphics. Our newsletter is quarterly so a lot of thought and focus goes into it. We have artistic minded people that are professional and pull this thing off the right way..

I didn’t vote in this poll because I don’t know what to call what I get from our church. It comes to us on Sunday morning, but it’s not a bulletin. They call it a “communicator.”
The one we still get from our old church is actually pretty good — family news, articles written by competant people in the congregation, missions highlights. The design, however, needs some attention.
