We hope you got your CMS T-shirts if you wanted them because the Church Marketing Sucks store is now officially closed. Thanks to everyone who ordered a shirt or two (or three) and helped support this blog and the wider effort of the Center for Church Communication. We sold just over 100 T-shirts, which isn’t too shabby for only having them available for two weeks.
Now that we’ve taken the orders we’ll print a limited run of the shirts and ship them out by December 13 at the latest, arriving in time for Christmas.
It’s been a good learning process for us, and hopefully we’ll be able to offer shirts and other products again in the future. Thanks for your support!
And now for the results. Last week we asked which shirt design was your favorite. ‘That’s How We’ve Always Done It!’ won by a landslide, taking 42% of the vote. Definitely your favorite, based on the poll and because it was the most popular shirt ordered. Our motto shirt was next bearing the ‘Frustrate. Educate. Motivate.’ slogan with 17%. The three remaining shirts tied with 11% each, which is interesting considering the ‘Christianese’ outsold both the other two shirts by a wide margin. And 7% just weren’t impressed with our designs. Sorry, maybe next time.
This week we’re asking what kind of special marketing you’re doing for Christmas.
