You Said It: July, August, September, October Comment Roundup

I love comments. I don't know how you guys feel about them, but they're generally more insightful than whatever we wrote in the first place. To those of you who share my love for comments, I apologize for not rounding them up in the past, oh, three and a half months. Here's some of what's been going on lately, in case you have a schedule not permitting constant watching of posted comments.

Firstly, we talked to you about a church mailout that was too sexy for the community. We asked you to let us know what you thought a good follow-up mailer would say. For what it's worth, here was my favorite:

You Said It: Comment Roundup

Sometimes here at Church Marketing Sucks, you say something and we think, "Man, why didn't we say that?" Sometimes it's a great story of agreement. Sometimes it's a sharp quip. Sometimes it's a harsh rebuke. It's most always more interesting than what was said originally. So here we are with a solid evidence that commenting is good. Enjoy some great comments we've seen on recent posts:

• "When I did children's ministry, especially outdoor. Mascots were the best 'marketing' I could do; kids remembered my lion as he walked the streets handing out balloons and invites to our street event. Every week we used the mascot to go out and bring the kids in for our street event." - Tim Bednar on Church "Mascots" For Children's Ministry
• "I get my gossip from the pews ... Feels more hot off the press that way." - Drew on Understanding Attack Blogs
