Here are answers to some questions you might
have:
Why should my organization sign up for this directory?
There are many reasons but one of the best is the ability to find other
members by only knowing a little information about them. Say you can only
remember someone's first name, like, Charles. Search for "Charles"
in the directory and you can choose from the photos which Charles you
want to contact.
But I know all the members of my organization...and
they know me.
Really? What about new members? The directory is great tool for them
to use while getting acquainted with the group. And Besides, FellowPages
is so much more than just a directory. Think of it as your own private
communication tool, like YahooGroups or MySpace, only without all the
spam and popup ads!
We already have a web page.
FellowPages is not meant to be your web site. FellowPages should
simply be a link on your own group's web page. If your organization doesn't
have a web site, we'll provide a direct link to the directory for members
to
use.
Is my personal information secure?
You are in control of your own information! You can hide or show any
information you want and ONLY members of your organization can see the information
you choose
to share. All information on Fellowpages is password protected.
You have your own private password which you can change at any time.
The information you provide to the directory will NEVER be sold or
given to
anyone.
What if I don't want some of my info to be displayed?
You don't have to show anything you don't want to! Of course, the point
of the directory is to increase communication between members. So
the
more info you share, the better off the group is.
Does our organization have to download any new software?
No. All interaction with the directory is done over the web through any
normal browser.
Who takes care of updating our organization's
information?
The information on FellowPages is input by the members themselves.
Your organization will also have an Administrator (or several) who will be
responsible for adding and deleting members as well as permitting or
denying requests for calendar entries.
What kinds of things can the Administrator do?
One of the most helpful features of FellowPages is the ability
to send email alerts or announcements to all the members at once. You
probably do this now through your email program. The big difference
is
that the Online Directory keeps all the email addresses up to date!
Here are some other things an Administrator can do.
- Add a new member or family
- Create your own custom groups
- Send an email to those groups (officers, committee members, the
choir, elders, etc.)
- Send announcement to all members
- Enter Calendar events
Can we generate a printable file?
Yes. The roster can be printed directly from your browser. The date is
included so you know when to throw old roster away.
Can I save my favorites for quick access?
Yes! Under the "My Directory" button you can view your favorite
folks. Add or delete people at any time.
Is it hard to change my picture?
We've made it about as easy as it can get. It's a 3-click deal. Our system
even resizes it for you so it's quick for others to look at.
How much does it cost?
For member based organizations, the cost is $3.65 per member per year. That's only 1 cent per member per day!
For family structured organizations (such as churches), the cost is $3.65 per family per year. That's only 1 cent per family per day!
