Let's Do The Math... |

Save With Christian Archives |
When you provide copies of services or sermons to your church community, it is expensive. This weekly project involves not only recording/videotaping but also:
- Creating materials for the CD/DVD
- Duplicating the CD/DVD (a duplication tower helps but is expensive, and using a stand-alone CD/DVD copier takes forever...)
- Printing the CD/DVD (a special CD/DVD printer is required, as is the ink for printing)
- Distributing the CD/DVD (mailing can be a labor intensive and expensive proposition)
This short list doesn’t even include the costs of printing/labeling the CD/DVD, or the costs of specific packaging (CD cases, inserts, etc.) involved in production. Depending upon how many copies are required on a weekly or monthly basis, costs add up quickly, with somewhat shocking annual costs. |
