Well, I’ve talked about using booklets for your church’s guest giveaways in three previous posts [first, second, third].

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:

1. It makes it easier for people to request them
2. You can tie it in with a survey
3. It cuts down on what could be a barrage of phone calls
4. 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:

• The Form Assembly – Here’s a sample booklet form I did with them
• 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.
