The placing of advertisments for the church has become more and more easy over the past decade but still it requires a lot of planning and usually an entire team is dedicated to it. Before placing an ad one has to do thorough research on the designing, content and medium of the ad. For instance, there has to have a theme for an ad, that makes the work of the advertiser easier and gives him an idea on the content. For instance, if the church wants to convey the message about program on Christmas functions, sacraments, or its history, the design and the layout of the ad will be accordingly.

Tough there are lots of marketing websites and tools available to the churches through which they can easily decide on the content and design of the advertisement. Generally, all the congregations profess a same message which is the message of the Christ and the gospel, on which every other message is based. Usually, there are standard sizes of the advertisement in the newspapers; the church has to pick one on the basis of their requirements and the budgetary constraints. The ad size ranges from quarter page to the half page to full page in the display ads. There are also classified ads which generally are much cheaper than the display ones, but they are futile in grabbing the attention of the viewer. Generally, a number of classified ads are placed along with each other in the newspaper, so that your ad can be easily lost.

Similar kind of research is required for outdoor advertisements. Outdoor ads are usually those which are placed on the streets or at any place where the individual can see it and get the message while he or she is on the move. For instance, the ads placed on the billboards, posters, those placed inside the tram and on the boards come under this category.

Once the church has decided on the content and the medium, it has to pick up the vehicle. That means, for an instance, once the church is decided on the fact that they want to give a half page advertisement in the newspaper, then comes the question which newspaper? If a church wants old age people to come for their particular event and attend it, they have to think of the newspapers which carry more of the editorial content. It is since according to the survey, we have found that the retired people and those who are above 50 years of age read the newspapers with the more editorial contents to form their views on the certain issues surfacing the society.

Once the content, design and vehicle of an advertisement is decided, the church has either to go the publication directly or approach through the advertisement agencies which take the contract of the ads for a entire week, month or the year. They offer various schemes to their clients as well, which mention the clauses and offers that if the church gives them a year's contract, it will become cheaper for the church than going and placing a single ad each time.
