Here’s how a vocation ad campaign brings in candidates.
The below graphic shows a Facebook ad that we put up for the Society of Our Mother of Peace since we began running the ads less than two days ago. You can see the likes, comments and shares at the bottom of the ad.
One man commented on Facebook that he was a postulant in this Missouri community in 2011. He said “Miss this place.” We wrote back, “Red, help us spread the word!”
(Click on the ad above to see the vocations quiz.)
As a result of this ad, we’ve gotten 14 people to take our vocation quiz as of 8:45 this morning. (The Society of Our Mother of Peace is a unique contemplative/active community of both men and women.)
Among these 14, two have said that the idea of coming to a come & see retreat “sounds good.” Six others said “maybe.” One way a vocation director can respond to this is to send a quick email to those two, encouraging their interest. Then wait to see how those who respond to our newsletters.
Why not give the Society of Our Mother of Peace some encouragement by liking this post? Just click the like button in the ad above.
