The Naked Truth


Stemming from my involvement in church planting, I have seen a lot of direct-mail postcards over the last six years. Heck, I've even helped design a couple. Lately, some people have begun to question the effectiveness of direct mail, since so many different kinds of organizations use it. The biggest problem is finding a way to get your card noticed- you know, something that would make an individual want to save it instead of just throwing it away.


I must admit, if I had received the card above, I'd have kept it. AND, it would have made me curious about the church that sent it. Still, I just don't think you'll ever be getting a postcard like this from me, inviting you to visit Convergence Christian Church, even though we will be a church that invites you to "come as you are."


Plus, I just don't have that kind of chest hair...

At first glance, you had me concerned. The glasses are missing and the hair is not so spikey, so I guess you're safe...

My church, Brownsville Community Fellowship, sends out stuff like that. We've never done anything that "racy" before, though.

Although, we did have one with a large chocolate-dipped strawberry with the caption "Sex, and it was Good."

I was totally for this picture of an unmade bed, white sheets sprawled out on a bed. But some people were against it. Oh well

Max,

Thanks for the comment. I think I can honestly say that you may have just restored my interest in direct mailers. Awesome caption.

Um if I got that I might have to burn it. Wow eye catching though.
