Distribution Strategies
Our goal is for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach the entire world. We’d like your help to achieve this, so we are offering the graphic designs as a free download. This way the tracts are available at printing cost to everyone who wants to use them to share the good news.
We live in a fast-paced world and many times there is no time to talk to everyone we encounter. Think of all the people you see on a daily basis to whom you could easily share the Gospel with these powerful tools. Anyone can give them away, no matter their experience in communication or Biblical knowledge. You plant the seed and the Holy Spirit does the rest.
We know that it would be easier to simply send a link to your friends and family, but let’s face it, people are constantly bombarded with information on a daily basis. Do you really see every link you are sent? If you only share these messages that way, there is more probability they will not be read. In print, it is tangible, personable, useful to put in a book, and a constant visual reminder. Besides, it’s significant when someone takes the time to give you a present.
As Christians we do not know how long the Internet will be available to share the Gospel, which is also a reason to go back to print.
With that said, we’ve come up with some ideas to help you with the distribution:
Churches and other Ministries
You are welcome to print as many as you like. You can give them away or ask for offerings to print more, help people in need, or for church events. A great way to lower costs is by joining forces with other churches to print a larger amount at a time.
The collected funds must be used for non-profit purposes, related to the Lord’s work, not for commercial gain without our approval.
Multiplication Strategy
We came up with what we call the Multiplication Strategy for the messages to be of easy access to the common person who cannot print in large quantity. For example, if it costs us $3.00 to print 50 units, we ask for an offering of $6, plus shipping and handling. By multiplying the cost, the next time we can print more for less money because price drops by volume. This strategy is applied to our direct distribution. Our goal is to lower the price in time. Any church or ministry can do the same, applying this multiplication strategy.
Our Distribution
Currently our ministry handles the distribution of the bookmarks only in Ecuador, but we are raising funds to be able to do so in the United States and expand worldwide. Anyone in Ecuador can obtain them directly from us, this includes churches and ministries. Visit our catalog (coming soon):
Interested Companies
If a business wants to print them for profit, they must first contact us and get our permission. You can reach us at ideas@thewayministries8.com.
Printing Recommendations
Scripture teaches us that it is important to give the best to God, which is why we have selected high-quality materials to print these messages.
How to print:
16 point paper (U.S.) or thick couché 300 grams (other countries), full color, two-sided, UV gloss on both sides.
We recommend packages of 50 units (25 of each message), covered in plastic wrap to protect them from humidity. The download has all the elements necessary.
As a courtesy, we would appreciate your letting us know how many bookmarks you print at prints@thewayministries8.com. It is not an obligation, but it would help us measure the outreach.
May the Holy Spirit guide you in sharing the good news of the Gospel using our bookmark tracts! We are open to any suggestions for distribution: ideas@thewayministries8.com .
