About the New Vision's Marketing/Advertising Campaign

New Vision's Marketing/Advertising campaign started to take shape a few years ago when a few members of the Presbytery of East Tennessee decided that there had to be new ways to evangelize in our area.  It has grown to become a dream to both motivate and assist our churches in sharing their stories with others outside their church walls.   

New Vision's Marketing/Advertising began to use mass media advertising in December of 2007.  We began with television advertising throughout our area.

In 2008, upon request, an individual presentation to each church will be given by Donna Hoppestad, the marketing and advertising consultant, who will provide techniques and strategies that each church can use to make visitors feel more comfortable, want to return, and desire to be involved.  Written recommendations from Donna to each church will follow each visit.

Regional advertising will also continue through 2008 with television, radio, newspaper, billboard, and other promotional activity.  Suggestions are welcome and encouraged!

We are no longer able to open our doors and wait for people to discover us.  We must learn how to assist in their discovery.  Let’s spread the Good News in a new way!
