Preliminary Events
I know it has been a long time since my last post, but I was planning and executing the topic of this post.
A new addition to my VBS planning is a seemingly unrelated preliminary event. This year I held an Easter Egg Hunt on the front lawn of my church the day before Easter. I used this event to not only invite people to our church, but also to advertise for VBS. In addition, every child who came to the event had to fill out a registration form with current address, phone number, and email address. This provides me with a list to outside of my regular attenders to communicate with about upcoming events, specifically VBS! I have not seen the effects of this event on my VBS, but I will keep blog about them as I start to see the results.
My suggestion is to use any and every event leading up to your VBS to advertise. This is a captive audience and if they like what they see at the event, they are in they are much more likely to check out the VBS.
Happy planning!
