For Church Groups

Building your mobile database and getting church members and visitors to opt-in to your SMS/text program may not be an immediate this, but it isn’t difficult, and will produce stunning results and really engage your community. Here are some tips to help you engage and sign up your members so you can reach them by MOBIT text messages. 



Note:  Remember to make sure your mobile messages and call-to-actions are compliant! For a typical messaging program, this means making sure you include what people should expect to receive when they opt in, how frequently you will send text messages, instructions on how to opt-out, a link to terms and conditions and privacy policy, and a “Message and Data Rates May Apply” disclosure.

If you’re not sure, call your MOBIT Customer Success Strategists at 855 662 4876 or email info@mobit.com to review your advertising materials. We’re always happy to help!

Here's how

  • MOST IMPORTANT: Deliver content that people want to receive! For example, multiply the power of your sermons by sending text messages with our mobile pages with audio and even video recordings of your Sunday sermons that reinforce your message throughout the week.
  • At the beginning or end of the service, your next meeting, fundraising event or conference presentation, ask everyone to take out their mobile phone and text your Chruch keyword (e.g Faith) to 72000. This is a very effective way to have people subscribe to your mobile channel.
  • Add your MOBIT page link to your web site or Facebook Page.
  • Add instructions on how your members can subscribe to your mobile messaging program in your weekly church bulletin or newsletter.
  • Send an email to your email list specifically asking them to text your keyword to 72000 and join the community.
  • Post signs in public areas like the rest rooms, the children’s nursery, cafe and the entrance. You can easily create awesome posters and signs using free sites like https://www.canva.com/create/posters.  
  • Add your text call-to-action to your church marquee or outdoor billboard.
  • Promote your keyword on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or other social media sites that members of your congregation frequently visit.
  • Display your text call-to-action on all digital signage and video displays.
  • Add a SMS call-to-action to your direct mail postcards and other printed collateral. 
  • Hold a contest inviting members to opt-in to your text program to enter into a drawing or raffle.
