In the last article, I wrote about how Facebook provides a great opportunity for the church to market itself through their members’ network of friends. We talked about how members can live out their church lives on Facebook, like they live out the rest of their lives and by doing so, can be telling their friends about Christ and their church in a natural, non-invasive way. Not only it is non-invasive, but it’s also free which can be very nice is today’s economic climate. So, I thought this post I would list some ideas of ways your members can do this. I’d encourage you to bring this up with your church members and encourage them to actively use Facebook to promote your church and share the love of Christ with their friends.

Here are some ways your members can promote your church and tell others about Christ through Facebook:

1. Post comments about doing church activities in your “what are you doing right now” feature.
2. Post pictures from church events.
3. Blog about church sermons or Bible studies. If the member has a blog, they can have it syndicated in their Facebook profile.
4. Syndicate the church’s blog in your profile.
5. Post videos from church events.
6. Add church events to your profiles, “Events” application.
7. Become a “fan” of your church’s Facebook Page.
8. Comment about how Christ is working in their life in relation to a church Bible study
9. Announce up coming church events and invite their friends.
10. Use the Inbox to personally invite friends to church.

This is just a short list of things your members can be doing to actively (if not subtly) market your church. The more people see their friends excited about the church and actively involved in the church, the more interesting it will seem and more likely they will be to come visit the church or at least attend an event.

So, encourage your members to talk about the church and talk about their faith in Facebook (and any other social network sites while they’re at it). It’s easy, it’s free and it may be more helpful than the next pack of snail mail flyers your church sends out. It may even allow them to lead a friend to Christ.

Remember, the more members that participate and the more your members post about your church Facebook, the more exposure your church will get. It’s exponential.

IT has become synonymous with our life, finding application in every walk of life from buying air tickets online to various gizmos such as mobile phones etc. It is all the more important for businesses as they harness the power of IT to provide new products and services. Software is considered the brain for these applications and is accorded paramount importance. Large software providing firms such as Microsoft and Adobe offer standard software products, which have fixed functionalities and cannot be altered beyond an extent. With applications so wide and disparate, businesses feel the need for bespoke software applications, which clearly maps their requirements and offer required solutions.

Custom software developers fill in this void. They create bespoke software solutions by accessing the client’s exact requirements. India has developed as the favorable destination for customized software development. Software development India is force to reckon with, given its access to qualified software developers and various software developing technologies. In India, there exists a large variety of software developers who are capable of undertaking from routine application development to creating highly complex solutions. Also, being a low cost destination, customers are able to get these solutions developed here at a fraction of what it would cost in the US and Western Europe.

If one is interested in getting software solutions developed, he needs to first find such capable player. Internet is one place where one can create a list of potential vendors. Thereafter, one should access their capabilities. Conducting a RFI/RFQ (Request for information/ Request for Quote) exercise is the best way to find the right vendors. In this process, customers detail their exact requirements/or vision for the solution that they wish to procure. It is also a great way of price discovery and one is able to judge the competitiveness of different players. During this process, the prospective customer should also check for the software developer’s track record which may include things such as project done in past, client references, physical and technical infrastructure etc.

Once you finalized the provider of custom software development services, you should do legal documentation which should clearly specify the contract terms and how payments will be released. Any possible price escalations and conditions purporting contract breach should also be thought about and included in the contract.
