Simple Marketing Economics
By Jason | February 24, 2010
Lately I feel like I have been bombarded by campaign ads on local Christian radio stations for the upcoming elections. It seems like after every song there is a commercial break to advertise for another candidate running for some position of office in our government. Yesterday, it reached a point at which I finally commented on how many commercials there were on my FACEBOOK. I received many comments about my posting. One person commented, “You market to your widest audience; simple marketing economics.” While I find it still a little annoying that I have to listen to all the campaign ads, he had a point. So whether we like it or not those candidates are getting the message across to a large number of people about who they are and why they should be the next senator, congressman, judge, etc.How are you getting the message of Jesus out to people? What are you doing to reach the audience that surrounds you? This audience includes your friends, family, co-workers, and the people you come in contact with while you are out in public. You might be thinking I can’t, and probably shouldn’t, make large public announcements campaigning for Jesus. You don’t have to. You can be very effective through one time proven method of telling others about Jesus: living your life as Jesus would. This means serving others, treating everyone with love, and letting your actions show God’s power in all that you do. Sometimes this means putting yourself last. Sometimes it means doing things that seem a little different from what those around you are used to. And sometimes it means making choices about what you say, what you wear, and how you react in situations.Simple marketing economics by Jesus’ standards: being the person you are trying to tell others about.
