Promotional Suggestions

Check out opportunities in addition to the paid radio and newspaper ads that you will want to use. Most cost little or nothing, but can be effective in helping you to have a great crowd at your One Night Rally.

  • Contact your local Christian bookstores a few weeks before David’s visit. They are usually very happy to have your One Night Rally fliers to hand out with sales or to place on the counter two weeks prior to the service.
  • Radio and television: Although we have found that there is no comparison to paid radio advertising; you may want to check on the availability of public service announcements. Both radio and television stations are required to provide public service announcements for non-profit agencies (this includes church events). Our 30-second radio spot is great for a radio PSA. You may want to hand deliver this to the production person on staff.
  • Contact your local Christian radio station to see if they would be interested in airing an interview with David. David is happy to work with the station to set up a time for an interview prior to your rally.
  • Newspapers: only will the newspaper announce your rally, the religion editor may be happy to run an article about David and his upcoming rally at your church. David can often be interviewed by phone by the writer if they would prefer this.
  • Does your church have marquee signage? This is a great place to advertise. What about the laymen of your church who are business owners - do they have marquees and would they consider advertising?
  • Businesses: whether you have layman business owners in your church who may do a great deal of advertising for their business. These individuals may have significant influence with radio and TV stations. This could affect not only the willingness to air free announcements but possibly the rate you receive for paid advertisements.
  • Some churches have found it effective to do neighborhood canvassing/visitation with fliers or “door hangers” one to two weeks before the rally. This is a great way to involve your church family in preparation for the rally. You might want to assign your seniors group or teen group to distribute posters around town.
  • If radio/TV stations or local business owners are particularly helpful to you in promoting your rally, we would be happy to send a thank you from David Ring Ministries to those companies or individuals if you will provide names and addresses.
  • Once you have set a time for your One Night Rally to begin, prepare all of your advertising with a “doors open” time and a “starts at” time. This creates anticipation and will help build attendance.
