[nabentre] Good morning all

True, but one will generate a lot less interest being at home then perhaps
out during a meet and greet or at a hospitality hour after service.
Marketing is not a simple science that is for sure.

I would say the only thing about a house of worship, is you would not want 
to make that the only reason for being therre.  But you can mention it to 
people when you are talking with them.  While it probably would not be 
appropriate during the meet and grett, one could use the after worship time 
to do that.

I also know though that it comes down to numbers.  Even the big chains do 
not get sales from all they target.  And they can reach many more people 
than we could ever hope to reach.
