Promote your course using the hosting resources for all of the communications and promotional tools that you need including posters, brochures, videos, ad copy, press releases and much more. Hosting Resources |
|---|---|
|
|
Give yourself at least 3-5 weeks for communications and promotion. This allows people enough time to research the material if necessary and adjust their schedules to attend the course for each of the 12 weeks. |
|
|
Spend 3-4 weeks promoting the class through emails, email lists, social media, bulletins, running the short video clip in announcements and running preview screenings. |
|
|
Play the promotional videos in your church services or in your office to make people aware of the course. View Video Options |

Choose a convenient time to invite prospective class members to watch a preview video about the course. The preview video will give people a chance to learn more about the program and help them decide if they want to participate. Download Preview Video |

We recommend holding several preview opportunities for people in order to accommodate busy schedules and allow as many people as possible to watch the video. |
