How to Use Visitor Gifts Effectively:
1. Set up a table by every exit door with a sign inviting first-time guests to take their free gift. Get a complimentary display box to hold them if you want.
2. During the offering announcement, ask everyone to complete their Connection Card. Then say, “If you are a guest today, instead of participating in our offering, we have an offering for you. At each of our exits is a table with copies of this book on it (show the book). It is our way of saying thank you for coming and we hope you’ll become part of our family.”
3. Assign responsibility to an administrative person to order the books, set them up before church, and pick them up afterward, and your visitor gift system will run automatically.

FAQs
1. Will people steal the books?
When you first begin, some people will take a book when they aren’t first-time visitors but we figure they need to read it, and we hope they will pass it along to others.
We make the books available for purchase in our bookstore for people who want to give them to their friends and family.
2. What about taking bread or cookies to visitors?
That may work if you are in a rural area, but we have found in our suburban area that visiting homes is threatening. And frankly, giving books is more immediate and easier.
3. Isn’t it expensive?
If you order in bulk, it costs just $1.99 per person. To give books to fifty visitors costs $100. If just one of those fifty joins your church, that investment is quickly returned.
