CFCC Advertising Network

The advertising network at the Center for Church Communication (CFCC) reaches a concentrated group of communication professionals unlikely to be found anywhere else. From full-time church staff to freelance designers and creative firms, this unique blend of storytellers agree on one thing: Churches have the greatest story ever told, but not enough people are listening. This Story isn't meant to get butts in pews, it's about getting Christ in hearts. It's that simple.

The CFCC Advertising Network serves up nearly a half million page views every month. The bulk of the traffic is on our flagship conversational piece, Church Marketing Sucks. The remaining traffic comes from this site and, as new channels come online, the Network will be extended.

Advertising to this influential network is not for everybody. We subscribe to the philosophy that says if we haven't paid for and/or used what you have to offer, we're not so sure the CFCC community will either. Select opportunities are now available through the end of 2007.

Maximum Exposure

There will be no more than ten advertising spots available each month for the entire Network. Only a single ad will be shown for each page viewed. In other words, your ad will be showing up on 10 percent of all page views across all channels. In addition, we don't clutter the pages with any other advertising (Google AdWords, flashing banners, etc.). Your ad is it.

Investment of Influence

We've held off selling ads because we've been focused entirely on building the conversation and community. While our priority will continue to be just that, we've decided to offer advertising as a way to invest in the future of CFCC. That being said, we don't need advertising to sustain operations. We're offering it so we can continue building the future.

This also means we're not going to work too hard to make a sale. We don't have fancy traffic reports or demographic studies. We don't guarantee results or make speculations. The CFCC audience is a creative concoction of pastors, bloggers, designers, photographers, illustrators, artists and students who want to see the Church get better at communicating.

Ad Details

The ten ads each month rotate across all Network sites. The ads are 130 pixels wide by 90 pixels tall. Each ad can have up to 50 characters of text (running underneath the ad) to accompany the image. We will only accept a static image file (GIF or JPG). No rotating graphics, animated GIFs, Flash files, etc.

Pricing

The current rate for ads is $500 USD per ad per month. Multi-month packages are available for ads that run three or more months.
