A recent study of over 1,000 churches across the United States who had recently completed capital campaigns revealed that seemingly subtle differences in the ways various churches approached their campaigns yielded startling and significantly different campaign results. The study was conducted in June-July 2010 by Volkart May & Associates, a Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota based marketing and market research firm.
All Things New
"So far we have raised over five times our annual contributions (almost $9.5 million) and expect to raise more. I do not believe we would have raised this amount without your program, leadership, and support."Our Savior's Lutheran Church - members and staff - have had a fine experience working with your firm. Our Consultant had a great disposition, a positive, encouraging spirit, a sense of humor that went a long way, worked well with people, was easy-going yet knew when to push, was not afraid to work long hours, made himself available at almost any time and hour, fit right in with our staff and congregation, and, most importantly, operated from a faith perspective.
Our Consultant viewed this is not a job, but a calling to serve our Lord and the mission of the church. Our congregation and volunteers have sensed that and we all have benefited from it.
Our experience with J. D. Klote has been very positive. I already have recommended your firm to several colleagues and most certainly will have occasion to recommend your firm and your approach to others.
