We help your Church use ART's Voice Broadcast Service to send Nurturing and Notification Messages, in Your Voice, to hundreds or thousands of your Congregants’ Phones, in just a few minutes. This method is not only more efficient at delivering your message than direct mail, email or telemarketing but also less expensive and more personal because it’s in your voice.
“The most powerful communication tool in the whole world is the Human Voice”.
Voice is the most powerful and effective way to connect and to clearly communicate tone and emotion, and yet it’s often our least used resource. A phone call will nurture and strengthen your relationships in a way emailing and texting cannot.
Today, because of the influence of the smartphone, getting the attention of people is really challenging, and making phone calls to each individual customer, both large and small, can be costly and time-consuming, if not impossible—that is, unless you take advantage of ART's Voice Broadcast Service.
In fact, research has shown that the influence of voice calls is actually increasing due to the rise in smartphone usage, and unlike Facebook, text messaging and email, a Voice Broadcast phone call is the ultimate top of mind attention getter.
It can be easy to miss an email or a text (email open rates average only around 17-25%), but more difficult to miss a phone call or voice mail. And from an emotional standpoint nothing is as welcomed as a phone call.
Use Voice Broadcast to remind your congregation members of prayer meetings, special offerings (as for holidays like Christmas and Good Friday). You can also make weekly announcements, as well as retreat sign-ups, congregational meetings, and funeral notices.
Voice Broadcast can also be used to keep your members informed of news about various ministries. For instance, perhaps your missions department needs a thoughtful personalized message to encourage signups.
Traffic and parking issues, as well as other urgent issues like scheduling changes, can be communicated quickly and easily to many people through voice broadcast.
Send Voice Broadcasts to encourage member participation in congregation-wide activities like fasting or a devotional series.
Use Voice Broadcast to raise awareness and build excitement about future events.
Encourage members to text in prayer requests and suggestions. They will appreciate feeling they've been immediately heard!
Sponsor a message on behalf of local non-profits.
Letting your members know how close your organization is to reaching its fundraising goals.
Keep your congregation up to date with news of Study Group/Youth Group events and schedules.
Direct Mail still makes money, but most mailers are thrown in the trash. By sending a voice broadcast ‘lookout’ message ahead of a mailing, you can increase your readership response by as much as 3-5 times. Here’s a sample message…
“Hi this is Pastor Jim at Life Church and I just wanted to let you know to be on the lookout for a bright blue postcard that will be arriving in the mail tomorrow or the next day. Please don’t throw it away as it has important info on our upcoming retreat. So, thanks again and be on the lookout for the postcard”.
A great way to introduce members of your Church who have seen victory after going through times of depression, self-destruction, addictions, struggles, failures, and more.
Send a quick message on Wednesday letting them know the subject and title of next Sunday’s message so they can keep your service in mind as they plan their week.
Do not let guests slip through the cracks after they visit your church. Guests need multiple follow-up messages over a six-week time frame to keep your church in focus and to build new relationships.
After an event or even just a Sunday service, send a quick message to your volunteers saying, “Thanks for using your gifts and spending your morning serving at our Church! You are appreciated!” This goes a long way toward helping members feel valued.
Send a quick message to the parents in your congregation about what topic you are studying in youth group and perhaps suggest a few questions they might talk about with their kids at home.
Using this time frame has ensured that most calls will go to an answering machine. This is desirable for two reasons:
It’s important to ‘recycle’ all the numbers that didn’t connect the first time due to busy signals, no answers, unknown connection problems, etc. to ensure the greatest connection success.
ART performs this recycling procedure as a part of our concierge service.
What separates ART from other Voice Broadcast service providers?
There are a lot of Voice Broadcast services out there, but most of them are purely technology providers who say “here’s the technology we provide…good luck.” So you’re pretty much on your own.
The difference with ART is that we offer a complete start to finish Revenue & Retention Program which means:
All of this is designed to increase response, engagement and ultimately revenue for very little cost.
Once you sign up for ART's Voice Broadcast Service, confirmation and activation
of your account happens within minutes.
