New Here

The connect card is a code on the seat back

Paper cards end up in a drawer. A code on the seat in front of them opens a short welcome in your church's colors, and their name is on your New Here list before the service lets out.

The problem

Three out of four cards go nowhere

Three out of four people who hand a church their information hear nothing back within thirty days Faith Perceptions, 2016. Nobody stopped caring. The card went in a drawer, the drawer went to a desk, and the person who knew what to do with it was stacking chairs.

A code does not go in a drawer. It opens your welcome on their own phone: first name, last name, mobile, and how they heard about you. Send, and they are on your New Here list with a name next to theirs.

A guest scans the seat back code and fills in the New Here welcome on their phone

The welcome

Short on purpose

The welcome asks for the basics and nothing else. It takes a couple of minutes from the seat, then thanks them by name and points them to the welcome desk. The deeper questions about serving and groups come later, once they are known.

It opens with your mark and your colors, not ours. No app to download, no account, no password.

Seat back

The card that stays

A small card in the seat pocket or on the seat in front. Where most churches start.

Bulletin

The one they take home

Scans on Sunday, or on Tuesday from the kitchen counter.

Screen

Before the service

A slide with the code while people find their seats.

Your tag

The one you already print

If your church already prints a card or tag, the code lives there.

Questions churches ask

Do we design the cards or do you?

Every plan gets the code and link. On One Room and up, we design the seat back tags to match your brand.

Can we keep our paper connect card?

Yes. Some churches run both for a season. Either way, everyone ends up on the same New Here list.

Does the code open an app?

No. It opens a page on their own phone. No download, no account, no login.

What happens after they hit Send?

They land on your New Here list with the time they scanned, and someone on your team owns reaching out. You can see it happen in the film on the home page.
