Easy communications to all members of the Church Inexpensive Easy to Use Helping to build a closer community PROXIMITI COMMUNICATIONS GREATLY IMPROVES OUR CHURCH COMMUNICATIONS Sally Adams Church Administrator We started with Proximiti using their innovative broadcast messaging platform and custom app for our Church for just $49 per month. It’s so simple yet powerful you will wonder how any church can operate without it. From my PC or any leader’s PC or smart phone or tablet, we can send messages to any church member’s cell phone as a text message, e-mail, or as more members got our app as a communication directly to the app. It can even be received on a PC as an e-mail message. The Youth Group was the first to really use the service, now almost every group within the Church uses it for routine announcements, etc. The clergy even uses it to send out daily scripture and thoughts. Broadcast messaging via e-mail, text messages, or even directly to app Customized app for our Church App includes directories, bulletins, sermons, and more Phone Systems and Voice Services Proximiti Services For Churches

COMPLETE BROADCAST MESSAGING CAPABILITY Your Church members and leaders communicate with different devices but more and more of their daily communications is via mobile phones and PCs. Almost 40% of households no longer have home phones. Over 75% of phone calls aren’t answered but instead get routed to voice mail. E-Mail isn’t used as often as several years ago at least on a timely basis. Text messaging, however, is quite different with 95% of text messages answered within 5 minutes or less. Your custom app includes integrated messaging (see below for more information) And everyone knows that youth use text messaging and apps with messaging built in almost exclusively. Proximiti’s broadcast messaging lets your Church use a single service that manages all of this for you and that is easy to use with no per message fees and at a flat monthly rate.

CHURCH ADMINISTRATORS AND LEADERS NEED SEND TEXT MESSAGES TO LISTS, GROUPS, AND FROM AN OFFICE PC Church leaders and administrators can easily send e-mail to lists or individual church members but can’t easily send individual or group messages via text. It’s hard to know whether e-mail messages are read and getting rapid replies is very hit and miss. Using Proximiti’s broadcast messaging that includes a push message to your custom app, text messaging, and e-mail insures that you get your message out fast. You can often see if it was received and read.

You Can Send Any Type of Content Don’t think you are limited to short text messages. Using Proximiti you can send any type of content including video, pictures, documents, audio recordings and more. You can use Proximiti Messaging for announcements but also for more important content like Verses of the Day and more. Electronically connect your Church membership in your own private community. Church members can also use the group messaging on their own devices to interact with Church leaders and within their own groups. My youth group is incredibly busy with school, sports, family activities, and Church. Plugging in means interacting with them electronically and not just on Sunday mornings. And Facebook isn’t private. Proximiti’s solution set has made my ministry much more fulfilling..
