MARKETING
Marketing
is chiefly concerned with promoting the Mothers' Union.
This is achieved through speaking about the Mothers' Union
at meetings and events. We promote the news that members
uphold Marriage and Christian Family Life. Telling those,
who do not know, how the Mothers' Union supports and enriches
marriage. Also, how the life of prayer is at the heart of
all our doing and being, this gives us a sense of belonging
to a very important movement. The Mothers' Union now has
over 3.6 million members - men as well as women - in at
least 77 countries. The latest country to enrol members
is Iraq where 17 joined at the beginning of 2006 and now
there are over 400 members!
Marketing
is also concerned with MU Enterprises Ltd, the trading arm,
which sells books, cards, gifts and resources for members
and others to purchase at very competitive prices. These
are sourced from Mary Sumner House and sold through the
office in the St. Nicholas Centre, which is staffed on Tuesdays
and Thursdays from 10am - 2pm. The
office has friendly and helpful people who are ready to
answer questions and to send for and reserve any catalogue
items (the catalogue is updated twice yearly). A good deal
is held in stock, but other items can be ordered.
