While your church is part of the Giving Success Program, your coach will help you tailor your communication plan to ensure it meets your organization’s unique needs and requirements. Throughout the process, your coach will guide you through a three- month communication campaign, which involves voice messages and emails to your potential donors. Then after your program is launched, your coach will provide your church with monthly reports during the three-month program to help you monitor the impact your campaign is having on giving trends at your organization. ParishSOFT is confident that you will truly be amazed at how an effective communication plan can increase online giving at your church! And once you complete the three-month program, you can continue the communication campaign on your own using the knowledge you have learned from your coach.
