Rabbi Einhorn\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0SynaBlog\u00a0is a new innovative\u00a0blog\u00a0that shares tips, tactics, strategies and best practices that enable Shul growth and promote Shul vitality.<\/em><\/h5>\n

\u00a0<\/em>There are plenty of values in having a synagogue\u00a0programming\u00a0brochure.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u00a0<\/em>It forces your team to think and plan ahead of time.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The synagogue year needs to have a cadence and rhythm to its\u00a0programming. Without proper thought ahead of time we tend\u00a0to stick a collection of events in one cluster and then we go famine for another two months. Designing a brochure forces your programming team to think about how it wants to spread its content over the course of a year.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • It serves as a colorful and imaginative marketing tool.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Marketing always needs to be\u00a0re-imagined\u00a0and diversified. The internet has, thank G-d, afforded us many ways to get our\u00a0message out. Still, there are some marketing tools that are more reliable and successful than others. From my own experience, the brochure is one of them. A Facebook post every other week or a new flyer spread around town never really allows your target audience to see the full range and color of what you can do. Seeing everything that your shul is about in one context is powerful.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • It\u00a0enables\u00a0your leadership to clarify an overall vision for the Shul.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        A lot has been written about the Mission Driven Synagogue (ala Rick Warren) but not a lot has been written about how to disseminate that mission of the shul. The brochure is a wonderful way to articulate your vision, express it through your programs and allow your intended audience to piece together the different elements that go into this vision.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • A strong way to reach new donors.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          A side-benefit of the Shul brochure and perhaps its most important benefit is that it\u2019s a great tool to help cultivate new donors. Somebody who sponsors a program understands that once the program is over the impact of their sponsorship and visibility may be gone. However, with a brochure, their generosity is on display for a whole year! This is important to a donor not from an ego sense but from the sense of doing something right by the individual in honor of whom they are sponsoring.<\/p>\n

          There are many more values to creating a snazzy brochure but the biggest warning I can give you is this: DO NOT print up a brochure if you don\u2019t have a plan in place how you are going to make sure EVERYBODY sees what you worked on. If a brochure falls in the forest and nobody is there to read it, is there really a brochure?<\/p>\n
