One clarificati...Thanks for the post about Fusion!<br /><br />One clarification - I do not advocate $600 - $700 on first time guest follow-up. I do suggest you send them a personal letter with a gift card (currently we send a first class letter with a subway/bus pass - total cost $5) and then at their second visit we send a letter with a CD (about $2 with postage).<br /><br />At the service Guests have the option to big up a free book designed to answer their questions about Christ (maybe $3.50 each).<br /><br />So, I guess we do invest (I like that word better than 'spend') around $10 to get a first timer to return. I see it more as evangelism since everything is designed to move them forward in their spiritual walk.<br /><br />In the book, I do mention that the average church spends hundreds of dollars to get guests through the door (based on the money invest in evangelism) and my challenge is to invest a few more dollars to help people return/grow.<br /><br />Hope that makes sense. Again, thanks for the shout out!<br /><br />Feel free to communicate with me offline if you have any questions.
