Fireproof Movie - A Must See

2008-11-24T05:25:00.001-08:00

Heading into its eighth weekend, "Fireproof," the latest film from the moviemakers at Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany , Ga. , has grossed more than $28 million. The church hasn't seen near that amount however. The gross is split several ways, beginning with the theater owners, who will have kept roughly half of the total gross once Fireproof leaves theaters, officials with the movie say. After that, each of the various partners who advertised, promoted and distributed the film -- Sony Pictures, Goldwyn Films, Provident Films and Carmel Entertainment –- get a cut. The church then gets its cut. It remains to be seen what the new amount will be to Sherwood, but it is indeed a fine film and a must see!

Craft Show Tips

2008-09-16T06:15:00.000-07:00

For those of you who make your own crafts (like we do with our Christian tee shirts), here are some tips we have collected over our years of working the craft shows.

So you’ve created a unique product that people will flock to, so now what? A great option is to try your idea by selling at local craft shows to see if there’s larger appeal for your product. However, many first-timers can get frustrated or even give up on their product if they have a few unsuccessful shows. Read on for time-tested tips for making huge craft show sales from your very first show.

Tip 1 – Location, Location, Location

We’ve tried many different locations within a craft show and getting the key spots may be the key to doubling your sales. If possible, try to talk with the person arranging the booths to see if you can get a corner slot (i.e., on the end of the row), and even better, the closer to the entrance (if there is one), the better. There will typically be one main entry point where people will start from (or perhaps two), but try to get a spot towards the front, and a corner if possible. Also try to avoid locations where the rows are smaller and crowded. You can observe this at other shows to give you an idea of the best locations. Notice how busy the food vendor areas are? Not a bad idea to locate next to them!

Tip 2 – Go Vertical

Your display is a key as well to attracting visitors to your table, and if you lay all your products flat on the table, it’s very hard to see in a crowd. They may have no idea what you’re selling without some ‘vertical marketing’. So try to set up a few products vertically (in our case, some shirts that are displayed on cardboard) or even just a nice looking sign with your company name and product information can be the eye-catching vertical element to your display.

Tip 3 – Work While you Work

People also like to see how products are made and like to see their product made to order – it conveys that custom special feeling, particularly if you are actually customizing the item with name, logo, etc. for that customer. Even if you’re not (like in our case with our unique Christian tee shirts), you can still make the product in front of the customer at your booth. This will still attract attention to your booth – you’re not just sitting around at the cash box – you’re actually practicing your craft!

Tip 4 – Set Up Your Booth for Maximum Exposure

Remember to allow plenty of time to set up your booth, well before the show opens. With more experience, you can likely cut down on this time, but for starters, let’s just say it always takes longer than you think it will take to set up your booth.

Another tip, use a tablecloth or cover to completely cover your tables down to the ground, and choose your colors wisely – i.e., something that will show off your products and complement them nicely (i.e., black covers work best for jewelry).

Tip 5 – You’re Selling Yourself as a Crafter Too!!

Remember, you’re not selling to an Internet purchaser who clicks and buys. At craft shows, be conversational, be proud of how you make your items and explain how it’s done. Don’t just sit there like a bump on a log – be personal and your sales will greatly increase. I promise you on this one!

Tip 6 – Establish a Network of Crafters – Make Connections

Before and after the show, talk to other crafters, regardless of which products they may be selling. They are likely more experienced than you and will likely share with you further tips and where the next big show is! These relationships can last many years and you’ll find that you will save yourself countless hours by picking up tips ‘on the job’ at shows. Many fellow crafters may become good friends!

Craft shows are great fun, can be a family event if you have a family-run business and can be very rewarding! Just remember for your profit margin, not to spend more at other craft booths than you actually take in at your own booth!!

Romney / Huckabee Square Off

Things are heating up leading to Thursday's Iowa caucuses where former governor Mike Huckabee blasted the Mitt Romney camp with allegations that Mr. Romney is leading a 'desparate and dishonest' race.

The latest Iowa polls show the two candidates locked in a dead heat leading up to the caucus. Religion tops the agenda of these two candidates and issues such as abortion are also heating up with Huckabee questioning Romney's record on abortion in Massachussets where under Romney's watch, the Mass health care system supported/allowed abortions under the state health care system. Mr. Romney's 'religious' speech prior to Christmas was given mixed reviews as well where Mr. Romney indended to state his position on his religious beliefs. In response, Huckabee has stated his position and beliefs are already on the record for many years and have not wavered, even after entering the presidential race.

Things are likely go get very interesting on key Christian topics this Thursday!

Florida Schools Take on Intelligent Design Debate

2007-12-11T14:43:00.000-08:00

The Florida Board of Education in Tallahassee will decide in February on a controversial topic involving mandatory teaching of detailed evolution concepts in science classes. Sponsors claim the move is to better Florida students' scores in science areas on federal exams, but this debate is sure to stir up arguments for also promoting intelligent design should Florida move forward with more detailed teachings of evolution.

Current polls show that less than half of Americans believe in Darwin's theory of evolution, yet arguments will go on over whether to merge intelligent design with evolution in a science classroom setting. This will likely be a hot topic in the upcoming Presidential debate as well.

Technorati Profile

Mike Huckabee continues to shine as the Christian conservative candidate

2007-11-30T08:42:00.000-08:00

And the winner of last night’s debate (at least among Christian conservative voters) is again Mike Huckabee.

Last night’s Republican Presidential debate in Florida was again an interesting one and moved into questions on the bible and faith which is a hot topic at recent Republican debates. One voter asked if the candidates believed every word of the Bible. Rudy Giuliani essentially stumbled towards a position that while the Bible was his favourite book, he did not literally believe in the story of Jonah and the whale as one example he proposed. Another voter asked whether Jesus would support the death penalty. Mike Huckabee who is now in first place in a recent Iowa poll stated that the death penalty was painful but necessary. Mr. Huckabee is the most outstanding conservative Christian supporter wooing Christian voters and has surged recently to the top in the overall Republican polls. When pressed whether Jesus would be in favour, he got a laugh saying Jesus was too smart to run for office!

This race is getting quite interesting!

Celebrity Christian Tee Shirt Spotting !

2007-11-16T13:07:00.000-08:00

Nov 15, 2007 - Access Hollywood aired and the key interviewer who chases around stars and gets the scoop was interviewed and he was wearing an 'Affection' Christian Tee Shirt by Kerusso! Good for him and what great exposure on national TV to lifestyle evangelism.

Does anyone know what his name was or see that episode?

By the way, we have that shirt in stock at http://www.blueheaventees.com/

New Ellison Study on Church Attendance

2007-11-14T18:53:00.000-08:00

A new study released Tuesday indicated that most Americans who attended church services as a child indicated that this has had a positive impact on their adult lives. The Ellison study found that 66% of Americans believe attending church or sunday school services prior to age 18 provided a good moral foundation for their adult lives.

On the other hand, 31% of those polled indicated that attending services as a child made them less likely to attend church as an adult.

Interestingly enough, 51% of Americans currently attend religious services once per month or more frequently according to the new study. I would have thought the number would have been higher than that.

Mike Huckabee - Our Choice for Conservative Christian Candidate

2007-11-14T18:29:00.000-08:00

Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor running for President recently announced some hefty Christian endorsers, including Janet Folger of Faith2Action, Mathew Staver of Liberty Counsel and Stephen Strang of Charisma Magazine to name a few.

"To have the support of these leaders of faith means so much to me" Huckabee commented in a written statement. Huckabee further commented that the individuals listed above "will be vital inhelping me spread my conservative message of hope and my vision for a stronger America."

Even more recognizable figures have come forward in recent days such as Movie Actor Chuck Norris. It does appear Huckabee is making a push to the front of the Republican polls along side Rudy Guiliani and Mitt Romney, although at this point, there is no clear conservative Republican leader.

Huckabee is a clear contender among pro-life candidates as candidates such as Rudy Guiliania waiver on such an issue - it does appear Huckabee is the most viable conservative and Christian-valued candidate in the race at this point.

But others may disagree??

Lifestyle Evangelism Made Easy

2007-11-12T08:35:00.000-08:00

There are certainly many references in the Bible to evangelism, and now more recently other means of evangelising known as "Lifestyle Evangelism", the most notable examples are Matthew 28, John 4:35-38 and First Corinthians 3:5-9.

The term "Lifestyle Evangelism" simply means other ways of spreading the word of the Bible and Jesus (i.e., those of us who are not Ministers or who otherwise are looking for ways of spreading Christianity without necessarily preaching). So it could be interpreted as non-verbal means of spreading God's word. That's the easiest answer I like to give.

Another way of looking at it is that a non-verbal means, like wearing a Christian tee shirt certainly can be a conversation starter and lead to a discussion - this is very common as people will often ask about a neat looking Christian tee shirt such as "I've never seen that one, that's clever, where did you get it, etc."

There are some who debate whether anything short of preaching or verbal evangelizing is really folllowing God's word, but I think Matthew 28 is the best example in that it doesn't specify the MEANS in which to spread the word to other nations - it just says go out and spread the word.

Anyways, just our 2 cents, and if you're looking for the easiest non-intrusive way to evangelize or perhaps looking for a great holiday gift this season, then please check out our New Designs section of our Christian Tee Shirt line for some ideas.

Christian Tee Shirts and Practicing Lifestyle Evangelism

2007-11-08T16:32:00.000-08:00

Christian Tee Shirts are a great way to practice "Lifestyle Evangelism" - sounds like a new thing but this dates back to the Bible days - actually Matthew 28 discusses when Jesus told his followers to go make disiples of other nations. No better and easier way to practice this than by wearing a Christian Tee Shirt at least a few times per week which can be viewed by hundreds!
