 table tentNext time you sit down with a group of friends at a restaurant that has table tents, notice exactly how long it is before someone picks it up to read it. Chances are, someone at the table will scan it shortly after sitting down to see what appetizers, drinks, or specials are available. Table tents are one of the most effective forms of advertising or communicating information because they combine a) a captive audience b) an unusual shape we see less frequently than squares and circles and c) imagery associated with something basic to our existence.

Table tents work in plenty of other places besides restaurants, too. Next time you're looking for a creative way to get the word out about something, try a table tent. For example...

  • At a fundraising dinner, use table tents to share some tidbits about the location, group being served, youth traveling on the trip, etc. 
  • Tape a table tent on top of the paper towel dispenser or dryer in the bathroom with a list of Sunday school class locations.
  • Get permission from the stores closest to your church to put a table tent on the counter advertising a small group study for young parents.
  • Place 'em in the empty spots in the church library shelves to advertise an upcoming book study.
  • If there is a university or community college nearby, the student union may allow you to put up table tents to advertise your activities for students (especially if you have a registered student group).
  • Create a monthly quad-fold bulletin or newsletter insert that can be assembled at home and kept on the table. Include dinner prayers, devotional thoughts, questions for discussion, and dates of upcoming events.
