Great Church Guest Giveaways: Booklets, Part 4
ByWell, I’ve talked about using booklets for your church’s guest giveaways in three previous posts. [Read all four posts of this series here: 1, 2, 3, 4]. Now it’s time to talk about designing an online form to take requests for those booklets.
There’s a couple of reasons I suggest using an online request form:
- It makes it easier for people to request them
- You can tie it in with a survey
- It cuts down on what could be a barrage of phone calls
- Requests can be made 24/7
Here’s where it gets a little tricky — especially for those [like me] with no coding experience. But thankfully, there are resources available online that can give you a basic form to take online requests for your booklet offer.
Here are a couple of examples of online forms:
- Midwestern Seminary’s “Answering the Call” booklet — One I helped produce
- The Journey Church in New York City — A church plant in Manhattan
Here are a couple of sites that generate online forms you could use:
- Icebrrg
- The Form Assembly
- JotForm
- Wufoo – This seems to be a great site
Note: Some of these sites put a limit on the number of requests done for free before you have to pay. Be sure and investigate this before committing.

I’m just exploring some of your archives, Cory, and like what you have to say about the booklet giveaways. Just FYI, your link to a sample form at formassembly.com isn’t working. Well, it works, but it gives a “Sorry, can’t display this form” message.
Thanks for sharing what you do on this site!
Cory, did you ever get the sample book that I sent you by Robert J. Morgan, Simple: The Christian LIfe Doesn’t have to be Complicated? Rob Morgan is Best Selling and Award Winning Author (Then Sings My Soul, Red Sea Rules, On this Day, etc….1.5 million books sold).
We are on our third printing of this book and can not keep it on the shelves. The number one reason churches/pastors are ordering the book is for “church guests and new believers.” I would be interested in your thoughts? -Matt
