Develop your loyal base of subscribers

Why is developing a loyal base of website subscribers very important to your parish ministry goals?

Here's a quick list of the key reasons:
1. Evangelization,
2. Communication,
3. Revenue Generation.

The next section will give you a detailed explanation of each one of these key reasons.

And here's a few ideas on how to generate a substantial subscriber list for your parish website:

- Collect emails from every staff member, priests and deacons, ministry leaders, active volunteers, etc.

- Make sure you collect emails not just from individual families. Collect them for every individual member of the family: mothers, fathers, all children.

- Instruct all ministries to collect emails from all their members, keeping in mind to ask them to include emails from their family members as well.

- Put an EMAIL field in each one of your parish forms and consciously make an effort to collect them whenever the opportunity arises.

- Make it a point to include in your Mass announcements after Communion the need for people to read their parish website and to subscribe.

- Consider hosting a Parish Website Sunday event at your parish where you can highlight your new website and generate new subscribers.
