Call for header graphic submissions

Want to show off your skills and get your work in front of others? Submit a graphic for the header of Church Communications Link.

How this works…
1. Read the About page to get an idea of what this site is about.
2. Make a graphic that is 950×200 pixels
3. Leave a dark strip along the bottom 27 pixels for the menu text.
4. You may include a byline in the lower right corner of the image but it should be no larger than 180×27 pixels. It should say, “Graphic by Your Name”
5. Submit it by mailing to me!

The small print:
By submitting a graphic or image, you are giving Church Communication Link and it’s directors permission to use your submission indefinitely if it is selected for display. The opportunity to have your work displayed is the sole compensation provided for use of the image or graphic. Submitting a graphic or image indicates that you have rights and/or permission to use and distribute the images or graphics used. A submission does not guarantee use. Use will be determined by Church Communication Link directors.

Guerrilla Marketing ideas

We talked briefly about “Guerrilla Marketing” and low/no-cost
marketing at the May 20 meeting. Here are some of the things we
discussed (and several we didn’t). What are some of the methods you’ve
used with success or failure? What is something you wish you could
convince “them” to let you try?

* Sidewalk chalk art on your campus and/or around town.
* Temporary tattoos
* Posters/invite cards on local business (grocery store, laundry mat,
etc.) bulletin boards.
* Buying down the price of gas (and pumping it for customers) at a
local station for a few hours.
* Ads in (your or local business) restroom stalls and above (or in)
urinals.
