Introducing Ministry Area
Profile Maker:
Custom Reports
in Minutes!
|
 |
|
Percept's new Ministry Area
Profile Maker shares
the same simple
online interface as
FirstView Maker, a
resource that
Link2Lead members
have been widely
using since it was
introduced in 2007
to create
complimentary
FirstView reports
(see article on
FirstView Maker
below) while they
wait. Everything
you need to create
your ministry area
boundary and
complete your order
is at your
fingertips and
requires only a few
minutes of your
time. The new order
system includes
secure online
payment as well, a
feature we know many
of you will
appreciate. We're
excited to bring the
same ease, speed of
delivery, and 24/7
access to making
Ministry Area
Profiles that has
proven to be so
popular with custom FirstView
reports. |
|
As a
Link2Lead member you
always receive the
best discount
available to church
leaders for the
Ministry Area
Profile.
The
Link2Lead price is only
$149 ($70
less than
non-members pay)! For

comprehensive
demographic resource, or to

Bonus ActiveMap Link
Included with your
FirstView Maker
and Ministry
Area Profile Maker Orders
|
|
If you have ordered
a digital report
using our new online
order system
recently you know
that the links to
download your custom
FirstView or
Ministry Area
Profile are
delivered via an
email message. Now
you'll notice an
additional link to
your brand new
ActiveMap. In short,
when you click on
the ActiveMap link,
you'll be taken to a
modified Google map
with your study area
boundary shown as
well as a set of
colored markers. Due
to our contractual
relationships with
over 500
denominational
organizations over
the years, we have
amassed the largest
and most accurate
church location
database in
existence. |
|
We call it
ChurchLink and it
contains over
100,000 church
locations and is
updated nearly every
day. When you click
on your ActiveMap,
you'll see the
closest 200 churches
to your study area
(the maximum allowed
by Google at this
time). Use your
mouse pointer to
hover over each
church and you will
see a label pop up
showing the church's
name and
denomination. Also
note that the church
markers are colored
by denomination. If
you don't see a
particular
denomination on your
ActiveMap, it
usually means that
group has not
contributed church
location information
yet. You can zoom in
and out, move the
map around, switch
between map view and
satellite view...all
with your ministry
area boundary
displayed. And you
don't even have to
sign in to the
website to do it.
Just click the link.
When your browser
opens save the page
in your Favorites to
open it again any
time you want.

A Powerful New Resource
for
Administration
and Planning
(and it's free)!
Church
leaders who
participated in
an early
demonstration of
MemberView were
not only excited
about this new
resource,
 they
were full of
practical ideas
for how they
would use it
every day to
enhance their
church ministry.
MemberView could
be used to
optimize the
administration
of events, small
groups, shut-in
transportation
and car-pooling,
outreach,
neighborhood
ministry,
volunteer
efforts,
disaster
preparation and
recovery, and
any other
planning
activity that
benefits from
seeing where
people are
located. In just
a few minutes
they listed many
uses we hadn't
even thought of,
and we expect
there may be
many others. |
|
So Easy to Get
Started!
MemberView
features easy
online entry of
member addresses
and a simple to
use member list
import that
enables bulk
uploading and
live "geocoding"
of addresses.
This means you'll be
able to see a
Google map
displaying
member markers
in proximity to
your church just
moments from
uploading the
file. Then
you'll be
a mouse-click
from seeing a
one-page graphic
analysis report
of member
distance or
drive-time from
the church. And
this is included
in your
Link2Lead
membership!
You won't find
another member/congregant
plotting tool
that's so easy
to use, quick to
results, and
absolutely free
to use. To see
samples and learn
more, or to begin
using MemberView
now,
click here,
or click the "My
Congregation"
tab above and
then click the
MemberView
button on the
left menu. And,
as always, let
us know what you
think (click the
"Leave Feedback"
link on the
header above). |

"WOW!"
has been the
overwhelming
response from
clients who have
already used the
brand new
 FirstView
Maker.
As a Link2Lead
user you've had
access to
FirstView
reports before,
but they've only
been available
for single ZIP
Code areas. On
January 1, we
increased your
study area
options by
adding County
boundaries and a
pre-selected
Radius boundary
around your
church. But now
we've taken it
so much
further... |
|
With
FirstView Maker
you can create
any study area
boundary for
your church that
you want! This
self-service
tool is
unprecedented
among
demographic
information
providers. Make
your own
FirstView
reports for
free, whenever
you want, in
real time. |
 |
|
FirstView Maker
(and now
Ministry Area
Profile Maker)
share Percept's
interactive
polygon drawing
tool...all you
do to make your
boundary is
click on the
screen. |
|
FirstView Maker
is easy!
Follow three
simple steps and
click the Submit
button. Our
computers
instantly go to
work
creating a
six-page color
report for you
with your custom
title, exporting
an Adobe PDF
file, and sending
the download
link to your
email inbox.
Within a few
minutes you'll
be viewing your
completed
FirstView report
wherever you
are, anytime of
day or night...even
in the middle of
a leadership
meeting.
You can combine
ZIP Codes, size
a Radius, or
even draw a
Polygon boundary
using our simple
interactive
mapping tool
shown above.
