Gloo
You know that engagement is crucial for guiding people on their faith journey. Unfortunately, in today’s world, it can be a fight to stand out from the noise.
If you’ve ever sent an important email that nobody read or spent time scratching your head about how to use TikTok, you know exactly what I mean.
That’s where Gloo’s FREE texting service comes in. Consider this:
- Texting has a 98% open rate
- And response times average 90 seconds
- Plus, you text every day, so you’re already a pro.
Compare that to a 20% open rate for email, and it’s no wonder thousands of churches are making text a central part of their communication strategy.
And text isn’t just great at getting important messages out in real-time. Every day I learn about new and creative ways churches use texting. Things like:
- Building a stronger prayer culture
- Welcoming new visitors
- And more.
Did I mention it’s free? That’s right.
Gloo knows how important it is for churches to have access to this powerful communication technology.
That’s why they’re working with Kingdom-minded donors to ensure money never gets in the way of a church reaching and engaging as many people as possible.
It takes less than 5 minutes to set up and send your first text. No credit card required. Ever. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to revolutionize the way your church communicates.
