Did you know that up to one third of all annual giving takes place in December? Charitable donations see a massive increase during the holidays, and that’s why it’s so important to have a digital giving solution that creates a quick and simple experience for your donors.

Special campaigns and fundraisers are common during the holidays, and this makes it a great time to set up funds and causes in Subsplash Giving.

Christmas also presents an ideal opportunity for introducing text-to-give, which allows donors to set up a gift using a simple SMS text code. This is especially effective for first-time visitors, who may be eager to give but haven’t yet downloaded your app. To get started, create your text-to-give code in your dashboard, or learn more about Subsplash Giving!

Good communication is especially important during the holidays, and push notifications are one of the best tools you have to stay effective.

Since this season often means different schedules and new information, push notifications can help you get reminders and announcements to the right people. With GeoEngage™, you can even deliver targeted content based on location!

This is also an effective way to stay in touch with the many first-time visitors that attended your Christmas services. Even after they’ve left, you can continue to encourage and engage them with gospel content.
