Preparation for the fast-paced Church Branding Retreat
- Who should attend: all leadership directly impacted by the church rebrand. Full-time ministry leaders and communication staff for sure. Optional: assistants, board leadership, part-time leaders, etc. We need to talk openly about ministry challenges and solutions as we look to the future. Most churches have 6 – 10 in the room.
- Choose dates: we recommend 3 branding retreat days but smaller churches can do 2 days. We’ll need 7 – 8 hr days when everyone can attend (the final day can be shorter depending on productivity). Most churches schedule 9 am – 4:30 pm; needing 15-18 hrs of work time (plus lunches and breaks) to discover the thread. NOTE: the Be Known For Something team needs a week+ to process mystery visit and focus groups data (to produce your custom presentation). Let us know dates ASAP to get it on our calendar please (and we’ll book travel).
- Choose location: we need uninterrupted time which can be difficult for leaders. So, the retreat may need to be off-site. But it can certainly be in a church meeting room too. We need a projector or HDMI connected TV with a marker board or flip chart with markers for the presentation. And a quiet work area for brainstorming.
- What we’ll eat: You know your people. So we need you to supply snacks, coffee, soft drinks, water, and lunch. We want them to feel special and comfortable for a lot of brain crunching data and creativity.
- Where we’ll stay: (if applicable) if you’re offsite at a retreat or conference center; you may have to book accommodations too. We book our travel (air, car, hotel); so if you’re booking a specific place for your team, let us know so we can stay there too.
- Then the Be Known For Something team does the rest! we crunch data from demographics, mystery visit, and focus groups to create a fast-moving presentation. We even create games with prizes to motivate the attendees. So there’s nothing else for you to prepare. Just encourage everyone to come fully-rested, on-time, and prayerfully ready.
- Show up for the Retreat: we’ll start on time! Come, be challenged, discover your thread, and start your communication strategy. It’s eye-opening, motivational, and interesting. Our final survey shows 97% giving our time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
