Does your church’s online presence seem stuck?
We understand your teams are often balancing far too many plates and struggle to keep up with all the responsibilities that are in front of them.
Partner Reviews
“We are a medium sized church that had ‘out-grown’ our processes. While we have always had a heart to reach further into the community, we did not know how to do it effectively. The D373 team stepped in to help us find our ‘voice.’ They saved us years of work and learning things the hard way. D373 is not a vendor or even a partner. They are an extension of our team.”
“Our partnership with D373 has exceeded our expectations. The help they have provided in graphic and website design, social media management, and simple advice has been excellent and beneficial. Our social media engagement alone is up more than 600%! From the beginning, our relationship has been very comfortable, and feels like we are all part of one team. I would overwhelmingly give then 5 stars.”
“From the first time we spoke with Design373 to some of the busiest weeks in ministry, we noticed a desire for partnership in ministry. In each season of ministry we walked through with D373, we were impressed with their ability to flexibly innovate, meet deadlines, and suggest ways to reach the people outside the walls of the church. Design373 has helped us focus our efforts outside the walls which has been a game changer.”

Social Media Seminar and Creation of Your Digital Missionary Team
We will do an On-Site Social Media Seminar with your staff and volunteers to train them to be social media ninjas for your church. We then place them in a private FB group and your D373 Specialist will help you communicate with them and continue to inspire them each week. This group stays in place long after our partnership is complete!
Note: For all plans except the All Inclusive, the church is responsible for all travel costs.
Custom Social Graphics Each Week
The social media graphics are custom-designed for your church and created each week by our D373 Graphic Designers. Graphics are designed with current design trends. Your Social Media Specialist will submit and manage all of that so you don’t have to worry about it.
Training
This can be a 30-minute training Zoom every month, or broken into 4-6 longer training sessions within the last two months of the contract. These can be with one person or multiple people.
Monthly Analytic Reports
You will receive a monthly report that outlines the wins of the month as well as goals for the following month. This functions as a measuring stick for the duration of our partnership together.
Ad Optimization
Running social media ads is easy.
Running highly effective ads takes a bit more time and forethought. We specialize in the diversification of ads, which is key to successful ad campaigns. Not only will we run your ads, but we will also train your team on how to effectively get the most out of the ads that you run in order to have an effective plan to reach the most people.
Contact Every Week
Each week (typically on Monday or Tuesday), your social media specialist will send you the potential social schedule for the following week, or beyond. You will have until Wednesday to approve or edit. If we don’t hear from you, we assume all is good to move forward. Once the graphics are designed, they will be scheduled into Meta Suite for you to look at designs. If you need design changes, let your specialist know ASAP so there is time to edit
the design.

We will do an On-Site Social Media Seminar with your staff, volunteers, and members of your church to train them to be social media ninjas for your church. We provide digital invites, scripts, and anything else you will need to promote this event. The seminar is about an hour and a half, and people attending will leave understanding the goals and strategy so they can help support the Social Media platforms of the church.
Creation of a Digital Missionary Team
After the completion of the social media seminar, we place them in
a private FB group and your D373 Specialist will help you communicate with them and continue to inspire them each week. We provide you with tips and best practices to keep your newly formed team connected with not only the church platforms but with each other. This group stays in place (and can even grow and expand) long after our partnership is complete!
Marketing of 3 Additional Events
We will create and manage the marketing to your community for up to 3 additional church-wide events. Events like Fall Festival, Mother’s Day, and VBS can be eective front-door events for your church. You provide the budget. We build the plan, manage creation of graphics, manage social media ad campaigns, and offer access to our wholesale printers.
Focus Group Creation
As a part of your Custom Marketing Plan, we will create a Focus Group of your staff and leadership (up
to 50 people) and survey them on the current marketing and communication processes and what they believe is most effective. It is critical to determine how your people feel the church is perceived in the community. You will receive a summary of this report when it is complete. We can also customize it with any questions that you would like to include.
Demographics Study
We study the demographics of your area using Census data and other resources available to help determine the specific makeup of your Community. This gives us vital information and helps in building the personas.
Creation of Personas
Using all of this information as well as current outreach programs of the church, we build up to 4 character personas. These are valuable tools to keep you on task and focused with the people in your community who need to hear the message of Jesus. Each of the personas will have a specific story and potential connection to your church. Many churches make the mistake of only providing information to those who are looking for a church. Reaching those who are traveling a road of uncertainty is much more time-consuming, thought consuming, and requires specific focus. We want to help with that.
Secret Guest Experience
Our team will come to your church the same weekend as the Social Media Seminar to be “Secret Guests” and evaluate your first-time guest experience. We then compile our results and recommendations in a report for your team. The evaluation and report will include short-term goals that take little resources, as well as long-term goals that may take a bit more time.
Note: D373 travel expense is included
Annual Marketing Plan
After all of this is complete, we will build an annual marketing plan for you. The plan will include Christmas and Easter, as well as the other events that you have assigned
to us to market. It will include specific dates for graphics creation, planning meetings, deliverable recommendations, social media ad budget, and ad diversification, and much more!
Contact Every Week
Each week (typically on Monday or Tuesday), your social media specialist will send you the potential social schedule for the following week, or beyond. You will have until Wednesday to approve or edit. If we don’t hear from you, we assume all is good to move forward. Once the graphics are designed, they will be scheduled into Meta Suite for you to review. If you need design changes, let your specialist know as soon as possible so there is time to edit the design before the schedule launches.
Viewbook for Guests
We work with your team to create a 12-16 page magazine that will give a “peek inside” your church in order to provide information about who you are and your vision. It is a compelling overview to encourage people to seek more information.
Stories of Life Change
Personal stories of real people in your church family are so important to help people outside the church feel a connection. Our professional writers will contact, interview, and tell up to 3 of these stories in a compelling way. These are used typically inside the Viewbook for guests to hear what God is doing in the lives of people.
Monthly Zoom Meetings
One of the most important things about partnering with D373 is constantly making sure we are on the same page as we work the plan together. Because of that, we schedule a Zoom call with you and/or your team every month to discuss wins, areas to improve, goals, upcoming events, and any other topics that rise to the surface every month. Unlike with other companies, you will never have to wonder, “What are they even doing for us?” That’s because we talk in detail about it every single month.
Training
As we near the end of our contract, we will do training sessions within the last two months of the contract to teach your staff how to create content and utilize our strategy. These can be with one person or multiple people.
Custom Marketing Plan
$5,997
*one-time payment
For those that just need a plan
We are often asked if we can build a personalized marketing plan for a church. Many churches that we a talked with have a team in place, but they need the tools and training to know how to reach their community more effectively. We have created this option for churches that are not interested in an annual contract, but just need a road map to follow.
This plan is completely personalized to your church. We interview, research, analyze, visit, discuss, and train! Then we build a 12-month plan for you. Then you and your team work the plan. It is roughly a 3-month process with a fixed price.
Focus Group
We create a Focus Group of your staff and leadership (up to 50 people) and survey them on the current marketing and communication processes and what they believe is most effective. It is critical to determine how your people feel the church is perceived in the community. You will receive a summary of this report when it is complete. We can also customize it with any questions that you would like to include.
Demographics
We study the demographics of your area using Census data and other resources as available to help determine the specific makeup of your Community.
Personas
Using all of this information as well as current outreach programs of the church, we build up to 4 personas. Personas are valuable tools to keep you on task and focused with the people in your community who need to hear the message of Jesus. Many churches make the mistake of only providing information to those who are looking for a church. Reaching those who are traveling a road of uncertainty is much more time-consuming, thought consuming, and requires specific focus.
Secret Guest Visit
During the 3-month period D373 will send 1-2 team members to be Secret Guests at your Sunday service. We will visit, evaluate, and provide a report with our findings and recommendations. D373 travel expense is included.
Build The Plan
After all of this is complete, we will build an annual marketing plan for you. The plan will focus on Christmas and Easter but will be set up so that you can use it for any church-wide event that you have. It will include specific dates for graphics creation, planning meetings, deliverable recommendations, social media ad budget, and ad diversification, and much more!
Video Conferences
We will have video meetings with your team as we go through this process to answer any questions and provide guidance as we build your plan. (up to 5 video meetings)
