I track web analytics fairly closely at my church, and I remember the monumental day a few years ago when I realized we were receiving more web traffic from mobile devices than we were from desktop computers. It seemed almost hard to believe, but there’s certainly no turning back now. Everyone is on their phone always. That certainly has some negative consequences we need to be aware of, but it’s also just a fact of the world we live in.
So what are you doing with that fact? How are you engaging with your church on the devices they’re using? It might seem scary or impossible to execute successful mobile engagement strategies on top of everything else you’re already doing, but fear not. You’ve got this, and we’ve got your back.
Luckily it’s never been easier to create and share mobile content. If you have questions about apps, texting, and mobile websites, work your way through this month’s resources. Don’t be overwhelmed by an impossible to-do list. Choose a few things to work on, and start chipping away.
