1. A custom website updated regularly with your new content
What does it mean to publish a magazine digitally? In the past, readers received a link to a "flip book" edition of a magazine that approximated the experience of flipping through a print publication. Today, readers expect to find magazine content on a website, where every story is searchable by publication date, author, subject matter and theme. FAITH's web and digital team is helping publishers to bring their content to an online platform that gives readers access to current stories, as well as archived material from past issues. A content website from FAITH Catholic is the future of digital publishing — creating an ongoing, evergreen resource that helps build disciples for Jesus and his Church! |
2. A regular e-newsletter for your subscribersBuilding a digital audience means connecting with people in a variety of ways. Nothing is more effective than email to build a digital audience. That's why FAITH has developed an e-news product that enables clients to engage with readers via email, directing them to a content website and allowing them to read, enjoy and share content with family and friends. This is what it means to be a content evangelist! Plus, by growing an email list, dioceses and Catholic organizations can learn more about what readers want and how to keep them engaged. FAITH's digital editors can create your regular e-newsletter and assist you in staying connected with your digital audience. |
3. Consistent social media driving traffic to your siteDioceses and Catholic organizations work hard to engage with followers in the social media space, but it's difficult to create a consistent presence in social media that engages people and helps them take the next step — clicking through to see your content. FAITH's digital editors can create a monthly social calendar with customized posts to drive traffic to your content site and help grow your digital audience. |
FAITH's Director of Web and Digital Services Mike Jones on building a content site for evangelization
Case study: Launching a digital strategy in the Diocese of Lansing
|
The challenge: Build a digital audience for the diocese to reach Catholics who are not involved with their faith, as well as people in the diocese who are unaffiliated with any faith but are spiritual seekers.
The strategy: Focus the main diocesan website on Catholics who are engaged with thier faith and their parishes (the "core"). Revamp the diocesan magazine's website as a content site for spiritual seekers and Catholics looking for information, inspiration, and education in becoming disciples. Adopt a corresponding digital plan using a weekly diocesan E-newsletter and daily social posts to drive traffic to the content site. Include a pop-up to gather more visitor emails. Consider putting ad dollars behind the effort to build the E-news list, thus expanding the diocese's reach across the diocese. The outcome: E-newletter sent to nearly 40,000 recipients each week with an average open rate of 20% and click-throughs of 5%, well above the averages for similar content. In the first year of the new content site's launch, new users increased by 89%. Even without paid advertising, engagement with the site and its social platforms continues to grow organically. |
