REACH OUT FASTER & FURTHER
There is nothing like driving somewhere and not hitting a single stop sign or red light. It's just quick, simple, smooth sailing. That is the same exact experience that we aim to provide you with when you use Congregation Connection. Our outreach specialists will work one on one with you to achieve your goals and establish an effective communication strategy with no hassle and real results.
Here is a list of a few ways that our clients have utilized our tools to reach more people faster. Click the drop-down arrow on the right to learn more about different ways Congregation Connection can help you connect to all of your contacts faster.
Raise awareness, raise attendance, raise engagement, and raise spirits with quick and efficient outreach to your congregation and your community. Live call campaigns are the best way to reach nearby neighborhoods to invite them to events, raise awareness for your cause, or simply inspire your contacts to make the world a better place.
Want to increase participation amongst your congregation? After your verbal announcement at your service or gathering, follow up with a text or phone call to remind your members of your important cause. Do you already have an online donation page set up? Text your members the link and allow them to donate from anywhere.
You can also raise awareness across the nation and even the world with a telemeeting. Allow participants to speak live and share their experiences and thoughts on your cause. Give people that powerful feeling of coming together, being involved, and being apart of something wonderful and watch as their passion and engagement rises.
Of course, the way you are communicating now is working for you, but how well is it working for everyone else? Enhance the way your message is heard in your community and enhance the response rates you receive from your congregation.
Reach more people faster with quick and simple text messages. Did you know that 95% of all text messages are read within 3 minutes of being sent? This is 40x faster than the average time it takes to open one of those church newsletter emails. And while texting does get the message delivered the quickest, phone calls collect your responses even faster.
While both methods are extremely convenient for your congregation and retrieve answers quicker than mail or email, it does still take a day or two to collect all responses and get your reports to you depending on the job size. If you want instant reports with breakdowns of responses to your questions, your response rates, and other insightful information, telemeetings are the best option for you.
How much strategic planning have you implemented in your congregation? Without analyzing your community, congregation, and the results of your efforts you can't be sure that you have the best communication strategy possible.
Some clients like to try to mix and match different tools for different purposes, like using live calls to precede and follow telemeetings to boost attendance and engagement. Others use automated text messages and prerecorded calls to send quick announcements that need to reach as many people as possible.
There is a combination of tools that work best for every purpose. Do you already know what works best for your congregation? Or, do you need some help deciding? Talk to an outreach specialist today about your goals and let us help you make the world a better place.
Who doesn't like to celebrate? Big or small, every time your congregation comes together there is a reason to celebrate. What is better than celebrating? Being the one who is celebrated! Take advantage of every opportunity to celebrate by sending celebratory messages to your congregation members and the surrounding community for every occasion.
Announce monthly birthdays on your telemeetings, congratulate new parents on Mother's and Father's day with a personal phone call from our live communicators. Congratulate your local graduates every spring with a quick text, or celebrate the holidays with holiday scripture texts to spread the cheer.
Congratulate your congregation for reaching altruistic goals and deadlines with a prerecorded message call, and even celebrate the couples in your congregation on milestone anniversaries with a call, text, or telemeeting shout-out.
There are so many ways to celebrate, and we love them all. What is your congregation's favorite occasion to celebrate?
Help your congregation stay connected and help make the world a better place by using outreach technology to impact your community. Make live calls to the neighborhood every time you have a donation drive and watch as more people turn out than before.
Sometimes we have members of the community and the congregation that are going through a hard time in life and need a lending hand. It can be hard to ask for help because we don't want to admit it or we simply don't know where to look for it. Some clients take the opportunity to reach out to the community and invite them to a telemeeting where people can pray together, vent after a long day, ask for guidance, or just talk to someone about what is bothering them.
Even if you can't bring every single person live during your meeting, nobody's request will get left behind. Attendees can leave a message with their concern or request, and prayer counselors can personally follow-up one on one to continue to help those in need.
Phone calls can help your congregation stay connected conveniently, but for one or two people it can take days to get through all of your contacts. Let us help you by making the process simple and cutting your turnaround time in half. We can send out a quick prerecorded call for you in a matter of hours, or we can have our live communicators get the job done in about a day depending on the size of your list and the parameters you set.
