No matter how strong your Internet signal is or how clear the camera is, there is still a difference between being "gathered together" on Zoom and actuallybeing together. And that's why we never stopped asking God to make a way for Narrow 2020 to happen. . We are not anti-online. Obviously, there are so many of you we wouldn't know if it weren't for initially being connected through social media or email. But the majority of the time, being an online ministry is kind of like trying to have a Bible study at a night club. A Bible study at a night club is needed. Noble even. But it's noisy.

That's a great question! So we answered it by creating a resource for our swHw members that will walk them through the best way to plan all of their November promotions so that they can increase traffic and sales the right way for their clients. Here are the four well known promotions that you may want to include in your marketing strategy. For the rest of the resource, join swHw here and become a member today!
