6 Things You Should Be Doing on Instagram
While most people push the importance of Facebook and Twitter for their church’s social media engagement, I’ve found — at least for student ministry in a big city area — that Instagram has been the most fruitful and effective platform for interacting with my audience. I find that most churches treat Instagram as the metaphorical sidecar of their marketing, but its popularity among those in their teens and twenties has made it a strong tool for engaging your audience.

Here are six tips that will help you step up your Instagram game and effectively strengthen your church’s social media strategy. Note: Many of these tips can apply to other social media platforms, but this article was written with Instagram in mind.

Work at It with All of Your Heart
Since moving to Northern Italy and being involved in the local fellowship here, I was asked if I could take charge of the church sound system and website. The sound system was a mess and I won’t even talk to you about the website, yet.

Bluesmart: Connected Luggage? You Got It.
This might just appeal to the globetrotter that resides within all of us…
No more lost luggage… not if this Indiegogo project has anything to do with it. Bluesmart is looking to introduce connected luggage to folks looking for a way to track and weigh their traveling gear. Beyond that, it charges electronics, gives proximity reports and can even be locked via smartphone.
