Easter is the most attended Sunday by far for Churches across the globe. But following up and staying in touch with those who are visiting for the first time for churches can be very challenging. Here are five ways to do so:

‍

1. Reach out to new visitors via phone

One of the best and most personable ways to stay connected with new visitors after Easter is to just send them a personal text or give them a phone call. Never underestimate the impact of a personal follow up like that.

‍

2. Email and Text Campaigns

If you collected the new visitors email and phone during your new visitor process, setting up a drip email and text campaign to trigger after Easter is a great way to inform them about the small groups, events, and ways that they can get connected with.

‍

3. Social Media

After Easter, using social media platforms to post videos and pictures from the Easter service, as well as upcoming events will keep the new visitors thinking about your church and give them a way to get connected.

4. Create a Path

Inside of Paths, you can create a new visitor Path with any collection of videos, PDFs, forms, Zoom Meetings etc. detailing the vision of your church and how they can get connected. And also track the visitors engagement and completion of the content. Sign up for Paths here for free!
