We recently received an inquiry as to how our program here at Vocation Promotion differs from other vocation services. Here’s what we say.
Pope Francis smiles at you. This is a Facebook ad placed recently by us for the Visitation sisters of Toledo, OH. Their page got 22 "likes" in 90 minutes.
Our Unique Approach to Vocations
- We get the candidates to come to you. Each candidate that gets involved does so after seeing your Facebook ad, page, and/or website. Thus, they have begun a relationship with St. Bernard’s Abbey, as opposed to filling out an anonymous online form.
- The promotion program is custom-designed to fit your needs, and our promotion material reflects your charism and the character of your community.
The Techniques We Use
- We build up your audience quickly by sending paid Facebook ads to our own propriety list of devout Catholics, who in turn respond by various ways. For example, they “like” your page, sign up for a newsletter, or complete an application for a Come & See retreat.
- We build up two audiences: First of all, Catholics in general, who can help bring in candidates, pray for your efforts, and donate funds. Secondly, a list of candidates themselves who can be cultivated to become vocations.
Why Our Method Works
- We use the latest social media techniques, focusing on Facebook, which is by far the most popular of social media outlets. We also use emailed newsletters.
- We understand your needs. Our workers fully understand and appreciate the Catholic faith, as well as religious communities and consecrated life.
- We combine these aspects of our work: Our knowledge of vocation work, the vast amount of technical knowledge needed, and the most up-to-date marketing and advertising savvy.
As I mentioned, we can put together an ongoing vocation program for your community, or a single-project promotion effort for a fixed amount, which covers two months. With the latter plan, you can find whether our approach works for you, and decide whether you want to continue to work with us.
Our vocation approach is unique, and it works. We will help your community grow with good candidates. Frankly, we don’t see anything like the program in the English-speaking world. Get started today, by Contacting Us now.
