4 Reasons to Consider Using Mobile Giving Strategies

10/29/2018

 

Jason Alexis

Digital Strategist for PastorsLine and co-author of reTHINK.Ministry. ​​​​​​​

Text-to-Give Picture

Four reasons to include mobile giving as part of your church giving strategy:

  • Most people don’t carry around spare change.
  • In general, $50 is the most that 80 percent of Americans usually have on them.
  • Check-writing is basically a thing of the past. Almost ¾ of all Americans pay by check less than once a month. For those under 25, it’s even less—61 percent never write checks at all!
  • Payments have moved away from cash and checks (84 percent) to credit and debit (82 percent). 

So, HOW are they paying?

Lots are using their mobile phones. In recent years, payments via cell phones have increased from $30B to $545B (106% CAGR).

This amazing growth rate is predicted to continue with the younger generations for whom paying by phone is the norm.

More information is need regarding this source of payment system. You could have added links to giving. Sources like eGiving don't currently have a digital evangelism donation link for local churches etc. I came to find out more on this page, not receive links that also don't give example pages or mention sources, like PayPal, eGiving and the like. How does one pay through texting? Usually there is a payment system to go through or resource to connect to. God bless.

I withdraw parts of my statement above as there is a link to a 74 page PDF that covers the requested topics. The yellow text on white made it difficult to notice and the link was overlooked.
