Hello Church vs Planning Center

Hello Church is a premier marketing software that specializes in helping churches grow by increasing the number of first-time guests attending each service. Hello Church empowers churches by obtaining leads through targeted digital advertising campaigns, engaging those leads through personalized communication, and improving return visits with quick and effective follow-up strategies. Hello Church helps businesses grow as well through similar strategies. What sets Hello Church apart is the personalized nature of guest – or customer – engagement, utilizing the latest technology in SMS communication, voice mail drops, and pre-built smart responses that can be tailored to a large variety of scenarios. Hello Church ensures that leads are more than a list on a spreadsheet but rather an opportunity to engage the guest or customer before they enter the building, whether that means a church, a digital store, or a retail space. This opportunity to interact on the front end of the visit exponentially increases the likelihood that a lead turns into a church member, a customer, or a brand advocate.
