Although the tactics are important, preparation, purpose, etc...the real answer is leadership. An individual willing to step up assume responsibility, and put themselves on the line.

I'm a fan of using stand-up meetings for my teams. We literally stand in a circle to discuss the intent of the meeting. This keep people focussed (hard to use a laptop while standing) and means the meeting goes quicker. Too many meetings happen out of habit – when a quick conversation or email would suffice.

I am just trying to share some of the behind the scenes thinking around church communications and marketing I have put into practice.I have 2 press releases being sent out over the wires next week. I hope to share in the next series of posts, what goes along with the press release. Because a press release alone isn't enough.Simply shooing a flare in the sky isn't always enough to get reporters to take notice and engage -- especially when there are tons of other voices trying to do the same thing at the same time.Along with each press release, one strategy that seems to work well is to build out an online press room to go along with each. A media resource page of sorts.My plan is to share what I put into assembling an online pressroom for a given story, and perhaps invite others with some experience to contribute their thoughts too.Hope all of this is informative and inspires other church marketers to try it out.Stay tuned!Kenny Paul, Thanks for the kind note.

Your point about screen recording a Join.Me screen sharing session and a GoogleVoice call to record the audio is great because you don't have to use any paid service at all to get the same insights. And doesn't like free?!Yup, so many website owners are flying blind, guided only by their assumptions... When it is so easy to discover the useability problems keeping visitors from doing what you want them to do efficiently.Even one test will usually be enough to change your perspective in my opinion -- validating some suspicions or things that you already know but are in denial(!), or bring up such amazingly different ways to look at your site that it leaves you scratching your head (and then wanting to do more tests).Onward with the tests!Kenny Thanks Tim for your comments.

Seriously, start with just one and see how you feel. I've been using a screen recording software combined with join.me and google voice, but I like to make things difficult. Great tips!
