They say a picture is worth a thousand words. That means that at 30-frames-per-second (frames = pictures) our two-and-half-minute promo video is worth around 4.5 million words. Use the video embed code below to post it on your website or blog or download a high-quality version to show at your church or youth group. Turns out that if you let the video do the talking, it says an awful lot.
2) USE YOUR EMAIL AND PHONE BOOK
Come up with a list of the people you think would be interested in this message and conference and then let them all know about it with a click of your mouse. You might email five friends, you might email a hundred. Everything makes a difference.
Also, remember that it's not just how many people you contact, but who you contact. If you email or call your pastor, youth pastor, or favorite ministry and let them know about The Rebelution Tour, you might end up being responsible for dozens, or even hundreds of people hearing about this life-changing conference. [Note: See bottom of page for sample email blast text.]
3) HAND OUT CONFERENCE BROCHURES & FLIERS
When you tell someone about The Rebelution Tour it's nice to have something to hand them. Enter the conference brochure. Our beautiful glossy brochure tells people everything they need to know (or reminds them of what you told them). Just email us at: info@therebelution.com and let us know your name, your mailing address, and how many brochures you'd like. We'll get them to you pronto.
In the meantime, download our PDF flier. It can be printed out at home or at your local Kinkos. Perfect for posting on bulletin boards or for direct (mass) distribution the conference flier looks good black-and-white or full-color -- it all depends on the occasion.
SAMPLE EMAIL BLAST
This email is incredibly simple. You can probably write something better and you are welcome to do so. But that's the point. We want you to see that even a hastily written email is enough. Don't put off sending an email blast because you're not sure what to say! Let people know you're excited and always include a link to the conference page of our website.
