Rub Elbows with the people

4. Co-sponsor and Attend Events in Your Niche

From time to time, cities host special events. Such events present you with an excellent opportunity to market your church. Often, face to face marketing is more effective than emails or social media. The opportunities to network and meet new people to connect are worth the price of sponsorship. Next time you hear about an event in your area, consider seeing if there’s a chance to co-sponsor the event or present during the event. If you get the opportunity, seize it and take full advantage of it by ensuring that the audience learns about your church by the time the event ends.

Routinely attending local Chamber of Commerce (or similar) events is a good way to engage with the business leaders and influencers in your city.

Quick Mingling Tip: You should always collect more business cards than you give out. This gives you the ability to follow up with all of those new contacts.
