Increasing mass attendance is hard work. With so many ways to spread the word about your parish, efforts can be diluted. Balancing everything from posting on social media to actively engaging with people in the community is only one of the challenges. When you finally see the needle move in the right direction, you must keep up with current communications and add new ways to connect!
Weunderstand that it’s no easy feat, and that’s why we’re dedicated to helpingyour parish grow. We offer a variety of tools designed to inspire more peopleto register for events, volunteer, and give! Here we highlight 4 features thatadd value and ease to giving and growing.
1. Customizable event forms
Studies show that attendance is highest when there are special events planned by the parish. Christmas plays, VBS, homecoming, back-to-school outreach events, and potluck dinners grab people’s attention. Our customizable forms are ideal for organizing these events because they’re tailored to your needs at the moment. Plus, they collect vital information, keeping you better connected with attendees.
With ParishSOFT Giving’s flexible forms you can create a form from scratch by dragging and dropping a range of fields like payment options and personal information. Or, save time and use one of our templates like Children’s Event, Prayer Request, and Contact.
By customizingevent forms, your parish has more giving freedom and you get measurableresults. Remember, people tend to give and participate more when they have asense of purpose. A well-planned event with customized forms provides that.
2. Accurate reporting systems
Parish reporting systems help you keep up with those vital numbers so that you know which direction you’re headed. With this data, you can make the appropriate action plan moving forward. ParishSOFT Giving reports are customizable and provide detailed information like monthly mass attendance trends, deposit reports, forecasting, recurring giving, and much, much more.
Capture a birds-eye-view of giving from your dashboard and gather data like the number of new donors, how many people gave via text, and the average donation. Break this information down per event, and you’ll notice patterns emerge that show the most successful events and the best dates to have them.
