How we Helped Tithely Media?

Introduction

Tithely Media is transforming the way churches communicate and engage with their congregations by providing a vast array of free, high-quality media resources. The company’s mission is to simplify the day-to-day operations of church staff with tools crafted specifically for their needs.

Challenges

Churches face the unique challenge of conveying their message with limited resources. Unlike their for-profit counterparts, many churches operate without the luxury of a full-time graphic designer or social media manager. This often results in subpar graphics and inconsistent online communication. Recognizing this gap, Tithely Media sought to deliver a solution that would help churches level up their media ministries without straining their budgets.

Our Approach

Build Online was engaged by Tithely Media to create a platform that would provide access to professional media content for churches. With an expedited deadline, our team was handpicked for our economical pricing and experience with church operations. The collaboration involved creating a user-friendly interface and a comprehensive backend dashboard to track user engagement and content popularity.

Solution Development

In just over a month, the initial version of Tithely Media’s platform was launched, showcasing four categories of media content—graphics, social media, videos, and photos—catered specifically to the needs of churches. The platform's development did not stop there; we quickly added a social media scheduling tool with integrations for Facebook and Instagram, empowering churches to efficiently plan their digital communications.

Results & Impact

The introduction of Tithely Media's platform has led to remarkable growth and user engagement. In its first full year, the platform saw over 32,000 items downloaded and 11,000 new user accounts created. This surge in usage is a testament to the platform's impact, providing churches with the means to maintain a professional online presence.

Lessons Learned

Working with Tithely Media underscored the value of technology tailored to the unique needs of non-profit organizations. Our team's involvement in local churches fueled our innovative approach, enabling us to address church-specific challenges with intuitive technology solutions.

Conclusion

Tithe.ly Media provides churches with professional, consistent communications that meaningfully engage congregations. With exponential adoption just months after launch, the platform is fulfilling Tithely's mission of furnishing churches with technologies that simplify operations and strengthen communities. Terese Tye, the product manager for this Tithely product, gave high praise to the Build Online team, "I cannot think of any areas needing improvement - their communication, quality, and understanding of our goals have been phenomenal."
