E sword bible catholic software#
Unfortunately I have never had any pastor promote Bible software to me.Ī live demonstration by an experienced layman could do wonders in getting people interested in Logos Bible software. (I realize WordSearch10 sells the higher end packages as well.) The marketing should focus on signing up the layman in congregations whose pastor uses Logos. I am not sure Logos needs to compete in this price range. The low cost purchaser is going to pick something like WordSearch and e-Sword. I am not sure it is as powerful as e-Sword, but it has the Thompson Chain Reference System I wanted. It come with mostly the same public domain titles you can get with e-Sword. I just purchased the WordSearch10 Thompson Chain Reference Library. But to be fair, most of my purchases have been made at L4 and after.
I probably would not have been as likely to have added to Libronix if all I had purchased was the Nelson e-Study package. My online account says $3500, but I have returned a few titles I did not think I would get use from. Overall I would guess I have invested over $2000 more dollars in resources. I upgraded to Logos 5 Silver, from logos 4 Scholar. Now that I have Logos 5, I love using it. Libronix 3 was not an easy learning curve for me. And after Libronix 3, I still used e-Sword. So I started with a good foundation of titles.īefore Libronix 3, I used e-Sword. Picked up 4 more of the pastor e-Study modules for around $15 ea. Started with a base Libronix package costing around $175 from CBD. I have invested several thousand dollars over the past 7-8 years in Logos. Look for us to use a different brand, a different approach, and maybe even a different pricing model.

But I don't think a cheap, trial Logos is the right way to reach them. I think many of you are right: there is a (large) market of "lower-need" Bible students, many of whom might become full-fledged Logos users. As a small collection of cheap books it's not nearly as attractive: it offers less content, the software seems "overpowering" for the content it has, it takes too much to learn to use, and we can't afford to offer the same service.
It's a powerful tool for working with a large library of quality Bible reference tools, which rewards an investment in learning to use it, all backed by stellar service. Maybe something cheap and poorly supported with a Lexus nameplate, but not a Lexus. A way to get people into the Lexus brand when they're young and poor and can't afford a luxury car.īecause in this case, while brand management is part of the answer - as it is for Chef Boyardee, who ultimately could only live at one end of the market - there's also the fact that what makes a Lexus a Lexus is something expensive to provide: quality engineering, attention to detail, expensive components, and expensive-to-provide customer service. I am reminded of Augustine's calling, "Pick up and read, pick up and read" We should do our best to make sure it is never too heavy a cost to do that.Įven better might be to ask why there's no $9,000 starter edition Lexus.
Having these two sets could lead to a flood new users and especially the way many of these resources are set up, there would be many opportunities for sales of people wanting x resource unlocked.
