Flocknote is an email and text messaging tool created for churches, ministries, teams and other community organizations. Whether it’s short messages or long newsletters, Flocknote’s the simplest way to send emails and text messages to groups – large or small.
And even better, unlike those text and email marketing tools with all sorts of features you’ll never use — we give you more of what you need and less of what you don’t. Meaning, you’ll actually use it. People will actually read it. And you can quit fiddling with technology and get back to doing what you do best.

7 Reasons to Use Flocknote
THE ONE-TWO PUNCH OF TEXT MESSAGING & EMAIL
With so many social networks, mobile apps and communication tools out there, it’s easy to forget that text messaging and email are still the most important! In fact, 95% of text messages are viewed within 3 minutes (no other form of communication is close to that kind of effectiveness). Once you can text and email your members (Flocknote’s specialty), you can do all the communicating your heart desires. Why complicate it?
GATHER MEMBERS’ MOST IMPORTANT CONTACT INFORMATION
Import the contacts you already have, then let your members connect with you (or update their info) via a link or their mobile phone using our text-to-join feature. Many churches actually double their # of contacts in just a few minutes on a single Sunday using Flocknote.
