You, as the owner of online store, are constantly looking for some fresh, innovative ideas to make your store more attractive for customers. There is a new trend which is called Tag Cloud Module. It offers quite interesting approach for web site navigation and provides visitors with instant illustration of the main topics of your site’s content.

 A “tag” is a (relevant) keyword or term associated with or assigned to a piece of information (a picture, a geographic map, a blog entry, a video clip etc.), thus describing the item and enabling keyword-based classification and search of information. Tags are typically used for resources such as computer files, web pages, digital images, and Internet bookmarks. A “tag cloud” is a visual depiction of content tags used on a website. Tags are typically listed alphabetically, and tag frequency is shown with font size or colour. The tags are usually hyperlinks that lead to a collection of items that are associated with that tag. It would be possible to represent weights using histograms. However, whereas histograms typically are used to represent less than 20 numerical values, tag clouds are used to represent the relative weights of 50, 100, or even 150 tags. – Wikipedia.org  

 

The main advantage of Tag Cloud Module is its ability to highlight the most important subjects very dynamically. The basic idea of tag clouds is to represent tags according to their meaning, their weight and their frequency relatively to other tags. Tags can be sorted alphabetically or according to their importance or popularity. Both font size and colors can be used to emphasize the importance of terms. The more important a tag is, the bigger and louder it should appear.

Most churches rely solely on donations given by their members during mass for financial support. The money that the church collects is used to cover its general expenses and regular upkeep. More often than not, the amount is simply not enough to maintain its existence and operation, such that other sources of funds are sometimes necessary. This is where church fundraisers come into the picture.

Church fundraisers are an excellent way to help the church raise the money that it needs to keep up with the growing costs of running such an institution. It is also a great way to encourage its members to become more involved in its activities and more supportive of its goals. However, in order to get people’s attention, the fundraising concept must be something innovative and exciting, and appeals to the human senses. Below are some themes and ideas that can help you get started with your church fundraising campaign.

A church choir concert would be a great way to raise funds for your church. The church can earn from ticket sales, as well as from sponsorships. Not only will they be able to earn extra income for this, but they will also help promote the local talents of the church and the community. The audience, on the other hand, will be able to socialize with other church members and will have a night of fun and entertainment.

Raffle off an item or a service. Get one of your church members to donate a valuable item or service and hold a raffle draw for it. An example of an item would be a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and an example of a service would be ballroom dancing lessons. The church will earn from the sales of the raffle tickets bought by those who wish to be part of the contest.

A church auction is another unique way to help raise extra funds for your church. Like the church raffle concept, simply ask church members to donate or contribute items and services to the church. Instead of raffling these items off, organize an auction night and sell the donated items and services to the highest bidder. The proceeds of the auction will be collected by the church and will be used for necessary expenditures.

Lastly, write letters to church members who have businesses within the community. Ask them to rebate a small amount or percentage every time someone buys something from their store. For example, ask a church member who owns a candy shop if it is possible to contribute $1 for every $20 purchase that is made in his store. Let the patrons of the store know that a part of the money that they spend there would be donated to the church. Not only will the business be promoted to the local community, but at the same time, people will be encouraged to buy from it because they know that part of the money that they spend will be put to good use.
