How to Grow an Adoration Program
Use Software
The first thing you will want to do to grow your adoration program is to sign up for adoration management software like AdorationPro. AdorationPro will free you up to spend more time on promoting adoration. If you are busy chasing subs around and filling empty spots, you won't have time to promote adoration.
Promote at Mass
Probably the best thing you can do is have your adoration program announced at Mass. Even better would be if the pastor could personally recommend signing up for a time slot either during the homily or before/after Mass. If you already have AdorationPro, you can make iPads and computers available after Mass to allow people to sign up direclty into AdorationPro. You can also promote your link to AdorationPro on flyers or signs for those passing by quickly. By using AdorationPro, new adorers can quickly see what spots are available and sign up directly after into the system. You won't have to spend time converting hand written sign ups into adorers. You might even have volunteers holding the iPads and helping new adorers sign up.
Promote the AdorationPro Link Everywhere
When you sign up for AdorationPro, you will receive a special website address that is just for your adoration program. You can promote this address in the bulletin, at the end of all staff emails in the signature field, in bulk email announcements, and on flyers around the church. Anywhere anything is promoted, make sure your adoration program is also promoted and include your AdorationPro website address.
Use the Kiosk
AdorationPro can use an iPad for a kiosk to help regular adorers and visitors sign in. The kiosk will make it easy for visitors to sign up for a permanent hour or become a sub.'
Personal Emails & Social Media
Gather a few key steakholders in the adoration program and have them all send out personal email invitations. Be sure to use your AdorationPro website address. You can do the same thing with Facebook and other Social Media outlets. Send out messages inviting friends to join. You can also make general status posts about your adoration program.
