Resources to Help Promote Your VBS

Digital Tools

When you purchase a Starter or Super Starter kit, you’ll have access to myAnswers.com, where you can set up a personalized event page to take registrations of both kids and volunteers. You’ll also be able to download images that you can use to advertise your VBS on your own website or social media sites. When you upgrade to Digital Pro, you can customize your registration forms and emails. Look for the access code that comes with your kit.

Printed Tools

Each of the following items can be customized with your information by running them through a printer or copier.

The early planning stage is a great time to let your church know how they can help and to share preliminary information with families:

• Volunteer Recruitment Fliers—Let your church know that you need help. These fliers allow volunteers to keep one half as a reminder and return the other half with their contact info and areas of interest.
  
• Save the Date Postcards—As soon as you’ve chosen a date, let everyone know so they can block off their calendar.
  

When you’re ready to start actively promoting, there are a variety of options to choose from:

• Invitation Postcards—A great way to get details out to everyone on your mailing list.
  
• Promotional Business Cards—These are the perfect size to hand out at parades.
  
• Promotional Posters—These large posters are great for advertising at your church and around town.
  
• Promotional Fliers—These smaller fliers are perfect for hanging around the church.
  
• Door Hangers—A fun way to connect with and invite your area neighborhoods.
  
• Bulletin Inserts—Let your church community know the specifics and take home the information.
  

As you plan the conclusion of your program, there are some final resources to help foster continued relationships with the students, families, and volunteers:

• Closing Program Invitation Postcards
  
• Certificates of Completion
  
• Visitor Appreciation Certificates
  
• Staff Appreciation Postcards
  
• Thanks for Coming Postcards
  
• Happy Birthday Follow-Up Postcards
  
• Praying For You Postcards
