Hello ,
Advertising is big business today. There are over 350,995 billboard signs throughout the US (more than any other country.) Google holds about 28% of the online market share, and Facebook controls 24.5%.
Enormous amounts of money
are spent annually on advertising, YouTube made over $28.8 billion in revenue in 2021.
In the 1970s, the average American saw anywhere between 500 and 1600 ads per day; by 2017, the number increased to 4000-10000 ads daily.
Even though we see thousands of ads daily, we notice less than 100 and only remember a handful of ads. There are a lot of messages that are reaching our attention.
The one message that needs to grab people's attention, is most
effectively conveyed by the way the people who believe in it live their lives.
Make no mistake about it; if you claim to be a Christian, the greatest advertising for it is to have a deep, personal walk with Jesus Christ.
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." John 15:5 (NKJV)
The most effective advertising (regarding the gospel), is the
life of the person who has been completely changed by it.
Have a great day and God bless!
Pastor Mike / The Open Word
