Trying to Sell Something? Call It Christian.
Great article in the Times Herald in Port Huron, Michigan. Here's an excerpt:Trying to sell something? Call it Christian
Remember the Bible story about Jesus driving the moneychangers and other first-century capitalists from the temple in Jerusalem?
They were selling animals for sacrifices and padding their pockets doing currency exchanges.
Guess what: They're back. Only this time they're in the United States. They are making the cash registers ring (or beep or do whatever it is those computer-driven gizmos do anymore) to the tune of $4.6 billion last year. That's according to CBA, a retail trade association for Christian retailing with headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo.
...There's no denying you can transform a product's desirability by slapping the adjective "Christian" on it - Christian books, Christian music, Christian clothing lines - as opposed to "pagan" or "heathen" books, music and clothing lines, I guess.

That's a pretty shrewd move, but very much anticipated in a business standpoint.
Although, consumers, we should be wise enough to know which ones are authentic and truly worth our money and time.
