4. Now it's time to
promote your
retreat to ensure
you achieve the
attendance and
participation you are
hoping for.
5. Of course, you want to start promoting your event
as early as possible in order to reach the most
people. It's best to start promoting as far out as 4 -
6 months ahead of your event date
Promote from Within
6. Great idea to create
a special page on
your church website.
Be sure to include
the following
information
Theme Location Speakers
Dates
Scheduled
events
Pricing
8. Not everyone can afford a large, one-time
payment for your church retreat. Also, not every
adult is as comfortable investing "family money"
on themselves
Irresistible Incentives
9. For those slow to
invest money up
front in a retreat,
consider offering a
monthly payment
plan option
10. Create a visual picture for potential attendees.
With the use of brochures, slides, and photos from
previous retreats
