Take a proactive approach to connecting with potential partners with custom-designed Connect Cards.
You know the situation: you’re at your booth talking with people interested in your ministry or sharing with a small group. You don’t want to lose the connections you’re making with people, but you don’t have a strategy for getting their information and following up with them.
Connect Cards are the perfect way to get contact information from supporters proactively. Don’t make the mistake of relying on them to call, email, or message you. Collect their information in the moment, so you can follow up with them later.
Connect cards can serve as a way to “keep the ball in your court” by grabbing interested people’s contact information instead of just giving them a prayer card and hoping they remember to contact you.

In addition to finding out how they might be interested in partnering with you, we also love the idea of asking what you can pray about for them. This gives you something to include in your follow-up (email/text/call) to let them know you’ve been thinking of and praying for them. This helps create a two-way partnership and lets them know you’re invested in their walk with Christ as well.
