Personal Invitations

Here are recent stats (June - September '08) on how first-time guests found Five Oaks. The numbers below represent households, not individual guests.

Hudson Campus:

  • Impact Cards – 19 (We did a Hudson only mailing to Hudson and surrounding communities in May or June)
  • Web-site – 3
  • Invitation from Friend/Family – 18
  • Other – 3 from Woodbury campus, 1 – Billboard, 1 – Newspaper

Woodbury Campus:

  • Web-site – 37
  • Invitation from Friend/Family – 91
  • Drive-by – 7
  • Other – Phone book – 1, Henry’s blog – 2, Heard from people – 1, Knows EFree-1, GPS - 1

It's important to note that the retention rate from personal invitations is higher than any other category, as indicated by surveys we do of our entire congregation from time to time.
