Members Get This In 2012

A lot of churches we work with have an annual theme.  Some use a phrase like “Thrive”, others have statements like “Do It For Them”.  There is a lot of power in an annual battle cry.  Do you have a theme? If not, why not?

Here is our annual theme this year: Year Of The Member

Everything & I mean EVERYTHING will be about members this year.

I want you to know about a few of the things that we’re going to deliver to our member churches in 2012.  Warning!!! This list is amazing, and only our members are going to get all this stuff.

  • We are working on a simple mobile giving and iPad kiosk giving solution…we are going to release something that will make it SUPER EASY to have a mobile giving site and receive kiosk donations with an iPad.  This will be 100% FREE for our members.
  • A booklet you can send every giver in your church.  It will be the size of a CD jewel case booklet, and will be perfect to send first time givers or regular givers to say thanks.  It will cost $2-$3 and will be available by the case.  Members will be able to get these at a members only price.
  • Complete solutions (video, graphics, communication) for special offerings like Easter and Christmas.  We’re not just going to show members what to do…we’re going to GIVE them all of the stuff.
  • We’re adding a ton of video to our line up.  Each month, members get written, audio and video coaching for them and their team.  We’ve contracted with a professional videographer to produce high quality videos.   We’re making video giving talks and video coaching that can be shown to finance teams.

In addition to those things, here’s what members get EACH MONTH as a part of their Giving Rocket core membership.  Everything on this list is included in membership…no additional purchases are required.
