Tools for Church Follow Up Automation

The article linked below from Church Marketing Sucks details an idea about how you can use email autoresponders from email services like BombBomb.com, ConstantContact.com, and Aweber.com to allow people to sign up for digital classes. The content for these classes would automatically be delivered over time via email in appropriate intervals to fit the length of the class.

One of the issues that is a huge challenge facing most churches now is attendance. Getting people to actually show up for an 8-week class every week is unrealistic for most people’s schedules.

The idea outlined in the article is to take the entire class online and allow couples for instance to do an entire marriage class over time through email. At the end of each week they fill out a survey to let the staff or group leader know about their progress. And if they do follow up, they have the chance to win a date night or some sort of gift for making the effort to stay connected to the leadership.

This church email marketing automation is a great idea. You could also have both the physical location class and the email follow-up series that they begin at the same time so that even if they miss a week or two, they are still caught up.

Aweber Email Autoresponders

I have personally used Aweber for my email autoresponders for my business website use because it integrates so well with my WordPress Membership Software plugin.

You can use many different options as I mentioned above, but if you are thinking about getting started, Aweber is a great option. It is the email delivery software of choice for the majority of internet marketers that I have come across because of its ability to manage multiple lists and autoresponders so effectively.

So what is your idea to begin church follow up automation using email with visitors and members?
