I am having a hard to findning information about multisite campuses. Does the sending church print all the bulletins, do I use only one logo? Do I make new letterhead with all the church campuses? what should my new letterhead look like? I would love some examples!

If you're struggling to get members to commit or attend to what's going on maybe that's a sign that the church needs to engage the community more.

Yes. ANYTHING you do to reduce information overload is a gift to your audience. It makes it easier for them to find and respond to opportunities... You've heard it said "if you want to maximize the response, you've got to minimize the options." Well, it's true. I frequently find the best results when I look for ways to simplify communications we're already doing versus looking for new places to communicate. Also, anytime you offer something unexpected and unpredictable--from form letters with personality and humor to random acts and experiences--it leaves people wanting more. A unique and unexpected experience is attractive and inviting. I have a few examples from the past, if it's helpful: http://kemmeyer.com/2006/06/unpredictable_i/ & http://kemmeyer.com/2007/08/to-continue-thi/ Bianca…
