This got me thinking. Should we as Christians, representing Christ, outsource our marketing to someone who may or may not hold the same values, respect, love, heart, etc. that we who have Christ living in us? Is this like pawning off our responsibility? Is it not our responsibility out of obedience to be the messengers? Maybe this comes back to the best method of marketing truly is word of mouth. I'm not a marketing person by any means, but this just seems to come back to the basics. I dunno...it is an interesting concept. Do we let flyers, commercials, mailings, billboards, and published materials speak for us, or do we ourselves speak? Hasn’t it been said that the best form of marketing is word of mouth?
