Your Most Valuable Gift This Year? A Test Gift in Your Online Giving Platform
Have you ever given a gift to your church through your online giving solution for the sole purpose of evaluating the givers' experience? You should....
Text-to-give is the easiest way to enable givers to connect to a specific need or give their tithe.
Why? Because it captures generosity in the moment of inspiration before other concerns crowd in.
Any basic text-to-give platform can process gifts, but the right platform can do much more.
Text giving couldn’t be simpler for churches to set up and for givers to use. Once the church chooses a platform provider, you are given a unique phone number for text gifts, along with an unlimited number of keywords.
Keywords are easy for givers to remember. They can be used to segment and track gifts so you can easily keep up with the specific fund or event your givers are donating to.
Your text giving platform is launched when you promote this new giving method to your givers by providing the texting information. Once the text is initiated, givers are walked through a series of quick prompts.
In minutes, your giver is done! This ease of giving helps produce a sense of satisfaction in the moment, tied to the excitement or compassion of whatever inspired the gift. It also plants a memory of how quickly future gifts can be made, increasing the likelihood that your giver will return to give again.
Vision2’s online giving platform includes text-to-give.
Some text-to-give platforms offers your givers a choice of ministry designation and some don’t. Vision2 does.
You can also track gifts to various funds and campaigns through the use of different keywords, but for recurring gifts, offering ministry options givers can choose from provides greater inspiration and thus, generosity.
If your text-to-give provider is Level 1 PCI-compliant, you can rest easy knowing your givers’ information and transactions are safe.
To provide a greater sense of security for your givers, choose a text giving platform that allows them to see your church’s branding on the screen and calls them by name. (Some text giving screens present givers only with a phone number and no recognizable signs that they’re giving to your church.) Also look for features like Spanish-languaged enabled.
