Pushpay Announces New Product Features to Help the Church Re-Engage Post Pandemic
March 15 2022 - 8:00AM
Pushpay (NZSX:PPH, ASX:PPH, 'Pushpay' or 'the Company'), the
leading payments and engagement solutions provider for faith-based
and non-profit sectors, announces new digital features within its
giving solution, church management system, and mobile applications
to help churches engage and increase involvement within their
community.
While the pandemic continues on, traditions of in-person
gatherings are slowly showing signs of returning to normal, with
roughly 21% of adults attending weekly religious services
in-person—up from 5% in the spring of 2020*. Churches have relied
heavily on technology to help them reach people during the last 24
months in particular, and there are no signs of that changing
anytime soon as 93% recently indicated that technology plays an
important role in helping them achieve their mission.
“Now is the time for organizations to consider where technology
fits in their new model and how to be intentional about leveraging
digital solutions to move their mission forward,” said Aaron
Senneff, Pushpay’s Chief Technology Officer. “As we look to the
future, churches need technology partners that will innovate and
grow with them to help them reach and engage with the next
generation of church-goers.”
Today the Company is hosting a product launch webinar at 11:30
a.m. PT to dive deeper into new Pushpay product features and
explore how churches can leverage them to re-engage with people in
their community. Key highlights include:
- App analytics: Provides a granular view of
mobile app engagement and surfaces holistic trends on how community
members are interacting with app content. Also delivers actionable
insights to support churches as they lean into mobile engagement as
a key part of their communication strategy. In fact, church leaders
recently indicated that mobile church applications are one of the
most strategically important technology tools for the future of
their church.
- Event creation in-app: With in-person
gatherings on the rise, group leaders now have the ability to
quickly create events directly from their mobile church app and
spark engagement with group members in real-time.
- Donor Development enhancements: Church leaders
now have the flexibility to view gifts and engagement activity by
individual or by household, and can toggle between views within the
Donor Development dashboard. In addition, churches can now quickly
view their top donors in a matter of seconds with a new report in
the Donor Development dashboard.
- Draggable Resi livestream link: Enables
churches that use Resi Media livestreaming technology the ability
to easily add their Resi livestream and library videos to their
Pushpay mobile application for a seamless viewing experience.
- Annual recurring giving: Community members now
have the ability to set-up a recurring annual gift, for the date of
their choice, which allows more flexibility as they actively seek
to help their church, and or parish, grow.
- Spanish translation: Seamlessly translates
localized content into Spanish within the LEAD mobile application,
which also sets the foundation for expansion of translation in
additional Pushpay products in the near future.
"We absolutely love the new app analytics data," said Emily
Ciecka, Creative Director at The Experience Community in Tennessee.
"The ability to drill down into the metrics of items and messages
is extremely helpful as we continue to learn how to best
communicate with our congregation."
The Company also launched an enhancement to its integration with
Rock RMS, a longstanding Pushpay partner. The new event payment
feature streamlines donation and payment management and allows
organizations to view transactions in one platform, providing
easier reconciliation and a total view of engagement. To date,
Pushpay has more than 44 integration partners, and offers more than
80 software integrations to help organizations seamlessly transfer
information across services to increase efficiency and improve
ministry management.
Today’s announcement also follows the recent news that Pushpay
received four awards at the 16th annual Stevie Awards for Sales and
Customer Service. Pushpay was awarded silver in the National Sales
Team of the Year category, and bronze awards for the Most Valuable
Response by a Customer Service Team, Sales Support Team of the
Year, and Field Sales Team of the Year for 2022. This is Pushpay’s
seventh consecutive year as a Stevie Award recipient. For more
