Brainstorm: promoting a marriage enrichment course

At my church this year we are running ‘The Marriage Course’ – it’s a course developed by a couple at  Holy Trinity Brompton in the UK, and has been used by churches around the world. I’ve been doing some thinking about how to promote the course, and have enjoyed looking through the marriage-themed artwork on the Church Marketing Lab stream on Flickr. I thought I’d share some of my favourite concepts with you.

This concept promotes the same course that my church will be running (click on the image to enlarge, or view on Flickr here):

This is a clever concept, that is perhaps a bit dated (when did the Lord of the Rings trilogy finish up?!), but I think still has legs (view on Flickr here):

This concept promotes a sermon series, but would also work well in promoting a marriage course (view on Flickr here):

And who wouldn’t want a ’smokin’ hot marriage’?! (view on Flickr here)

This concept taps into the ‘prevention is better than cure’ idea (view the front and back of this postcard on Flickr)

I also discovered this video that had been created to promote an upcoming sermon series on 1 Corinthians 7:

And finally, this video was created by another church that is using the same marriage course. I like the angle they’ve taken – reminding us that a good marriage takes time and effort, and a short course is worth the investment:

Have you seen any good concepts for promoting a marriage course, retreat or sermon series?
