Just as often, the church realizes very little return on its investment. Ministry Marketing Made Easy provides alternative, practical ways for church leaders to communicate the church's message.

This book deals with how to reach people where they are today; people who:

postcards and business card-sized invitation cards ads in movie theaters and other unexpected places bulletins that make sense to people who visit the church for the first time welcome centers that really welcome people messages repeated enough times for even erratic church attendees to know what is going on niche newsletters, and more.

Ministry Marketing Made Easy also suggests radical ideas to reach the unchurched, such as:
