I can't wait to hear the final results. One question on this. How does the study work in comparison to each of the church's online SEO marketing efforts. I ask this because there are too many church websites that look great but have not done anything to get listed for key terms in the search engines (i.e. city name + "church" or neighborhood/area " "Church"). Their sites have traffic only from their current members. Interesting study. I can’t wait to hear the final results.

I had a reporter contact me from the Wall Street Journal about this who was looking into Creflo and this service. From a search it looks like you've posted this question elsewhere (eg. http://philanthropy.com/news/prospecting/8568/new-iphone-application-could-help-charity-fund-raising) so my assumption is there may be more connection to this service than appears.

I called the company (480) 236-9272 and asked them about it, they gladly sent me some information on it. I asked them if they have any churches currently using their texting platform and they told me Creflo Dollar Ministries and Jamal Bryant Ministries (but mainly megachurches in the Phoenix area) have been using it for some time now. They charge each donor or "subscriber" as he put it $4.99/mo. to get a daily custom text message directly from the church and the church gets a good portion of that! Seems there may be a new technology for revenues for charities now with this! Anyone else heard about this?
