What are you using?
These are just a handful of the email marketing solutions out there. What is your church or organization using? Are you happy with it? What would you like to change?
Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve been thinking about this subject a lot lately.
no doubt church communication is LAAAAAAAAAAAME! great options up here, now if they would only utilize the product to its capacity after signing up….
feel like most churches forget about the instruction manual and potential capabilities once they grab onto the next toy….
Thanks for the comments, guys. We’re currently using one of these, and I’ve been looking at alternatives.
I’m with you, iHateChurch, I think most churches are only utilizing about 10% of the potential their technology could give them.
How do we move forward to take ministries and churches by the hand, and educate them on getting the full potential out of their tech?
