Preparation for the fast-paced Church Branding Retreat

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. 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. 
  5. 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.
  6. 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. 
  7. 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  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
