Marketing for churches

[Faithhb_lutheran]

Most commercial web professionals have at least basic marketing knowledge and apply that to their sites. Should we as christian webmasters be using marketing tricks to get people to church?

I would say that Christianity has had two of the world's greatest salesmen, Jesus and Paul. Without their skills at getting people together and telling the story, we would have no church. We can call them marketing tricks or people skills. But the idea is to create a real or perceived need and then meet it.

Christianity over the years has been built on marketing skills. Of course, one of the things that people had in their favor was the product, salvation.
