Easter Marketing That Actually Works
Easter is one of the most sacred moments of the year as we celebrate the empty tomb, the risen Christ, and a hope that changes everything.
And yet, Easter is often one of the most misunderstood opportunities on the calendar.
Every year, churches pour energy into promotion only to feel disappointed by the results. Not because the gospel lacked power, but because preparation lacked clarity.
This is not about marketing tricks but more about stewardship.
In this week’s Church Staff Huddle conversation, we sat down with Barry Farmiloe to talk about simple, practical ways to remove barriers so people searching for hope can actually find it.
What he shared is clear, actionable, and surprisingly simple. Sometimes faithfulness is not about doing more. It is about preparing well for the moment God has already ordained.
What if Easter outreach wasn’t about doing more… but starting earlier and doing less better?
Watch this video to learn how churches are using simple digital strategies to help people actually find their Easter services.

Discussion Questions
Are we planning Easter early enough to give people time to respond?
If someone visited our website today, would they immediately know when and where to come?
Are we using our digital tools intentionally or reactively?
What small improvements could we make now that would have a big impact by Easter?
Outreach is not about marketing tricks. It’s about removing friction so people can encounter Jesus. If you’re feeling behind, take heart, you’re not alone. The churches that see the most fruit aren’t doing more they’re starting earlier and staying focused.
