Tips for the Magazine Work

We often have the privilege of offering The Watchtower and Awake! during our ministry. The September 1995 issue of Our Kingdom Ministry offered some fine suggestions on how to offer the magazines. Here are a few of the highlights from that article.

Offering Magazines From House to House
• Have a friendly smile and a kindly tone of voice.
• Be enthusiastic about the magazines.
• Speak slowly and distinctly.
• Speak on only one subject; briefly stimulate interest, and show its value to householder.
• Highlight just one article.
• Feature only one magazine, offering the other as a companion.
• Hand the magazines to the householder.
• Let the householder know you plan to return.
• Have a friendly, positive conclusion if the magazines are refused.
• Make notation on house-to-house record of all interest and placements.

Opportunities to Place Magazines
• House-to-house witnessing
• Street witnessing
• Store-to-store work
• Magazine route
• Evening witnessing
• When making return visits
• Calling on former Bible students
• When traveling, shopping
• When talking to relatives, coworkers, neighbors, schoolmates, teachers
• On public transportation, in waiting rooms
