Why should I create a group name and invite others to a Weekend to Remember?

Here are the benefits:

  • Every couple who registers using your Group Name save $100
  • For every 5 couples who register with your Group Name, you receive 2 FREE registrations, which can be used for yourselves or another couple
  • Couples can still use your Group Name even if you don’t attend this year.
  • Couples don’t have to go to any specific location to use your Group Name. They can attend any getaways across the country.

I see it is also called a “Group Plan” and those who participate are called “Group Coordinators.” Do I really have to coordinate a group where all of the couples I invite have to attend the same event together?

Not at all. The Weekend to Remember Group Plan is simply a loyalty program. Your role is simply to invite others to attend a getaway, and when couples who register using your “Group Name,” they are considered to be signing up under your “group.” However, they do not have to attend in a group and you do not have to be going yourselves.

How do I set up my personal Group Name?

There are three ways to get started:

  1. Go to http://gcmobile.familylife.com and follow the simple prompts. It only takes about 5 minutes.
  2. Reply to this email with a simple “YES” and we will create a unique group name for you, and will send a follow-up email with information about how to use and manage your Group Name.
  3. Call our Service Specialist team at 800-FL-TODAY.

Do you have any tips for how to go about inviting?

Absolutely! You can download a comprehensive 2- page idea and strategy sheet HERE.

Where can I find a listing of upcoming Weekend to Remembers?

www.FamilyLife.com/Weekend.

How do I get posters and brochures to use in inviting?

These are completely FREE, and you can order them online at http://www.familylife.com/weekendtoremember2015/inviteothers/promotionaltoolkit. Some can be sent to you, and some are available for downloading and printing.

When is the deadline to register and receive the Group Rate?

Right up until the day before a getaway!

How do individuals use my Group Name to register?

When they register online at www.FamilyLife.com/Weekend there is a box for them to type in your Group Name. They can also mention it when registering by phone (800-FL-TODAY).

Do I need to collect registrations?

There is no need to collect registrations, but many group coordinators have found great success by helping couples to register. One of the best ways to do this is to host a table at your church and to have a laptop available for couples to register there.

How do I check to see who has used my group name and when I have earned a free couple’s registration?

Go to http://gcmobile.familylife.com.  Log in with your email address and password. Click on your Group Name in the “Group Information” box. If you respond to this email and ask us to create a Group Name for you, we will provide you with a username and password. You can also call (800) FL-TODAY and speak with one of our Service Specialists to find out.

How do I redeem my FREE couple’s registration?

Call 1-800-FL-TODAY (358-6329) to redeem your FREE registration for yourself or to register it to another couple.

How do I transfer my free couple’s registration to another couple?

As the Group Coordinator, you must call 1-800-FL-TODAY (358-6329) to use your free registration. Please have your personal Group Name and all registration information for the other couple available when calling.

May I keep my Group Name from year to year?

Yes. Group Names need to be renewed once every 12 months in order to remain active. You can do this at http://gcmobile.familylife.com, or by calling 1-800-FL-TODAY (358-6329). You will receive an email notification when your Group Name needs to be renewed.

Is there a special rate for pastors or active military members?

Yes. All  full-time and bi-vocational senior pastor couples can attend for Free. Active military can receive $200 off their registration.

Subject Line: Your Weekend to Remember Group Name Renewal Info

Dear _________________,

Hello! Sorry we didn’t have time to chat when I called. As I mentioned, my name is __________  ___________, and I’m a volunteer with the local Weekend to Remember Marriage Getaway team in (your city). The getaway is coming back to the (event hotel) on (event dates). For some couples this Weekend is a tune-up to keep their marriage strong, and for couples in crisis it is truly a lifeline. You can find more details about the getaway at: (Put in link to registration page)

Right now, I’m following up with folks in the area who attended a Getaway, and who expressed an interest in receiving information about how they can use our Group Plan to invite others to enjoy the same positive experience for themselves. The Group Plan is powerful, free, personal ministry tool that only takes a few moments to set up. To read more about the Group Invitation Plan, click HERE.

Here are the benefits of having a Group Name:

  • Every couple who registers using your Group Name save $100
  • For every 5 couples who register with your Group Name, you receive 2 FREE registrations, which can be used for yourselves or another couple
  • Couples can still use your Group Name even if you don’t attend this year.
  • Couples don’t have to go to any specific location to use your Group Name. They can attend any getaways across the country.
  • To manage your Group Name, all you need to do is visit http://GCMobile.FamilyLife.com. You can check to see who registered with your group name at any time. It works on both computers and mobile devices.

As one of the 5,000+ Group Coordinators that God works through to help other couples, you can focus your inviting in these ways:

  1. Community, Church, and Personal Focus. These folks invite pretty much everywhere: church, work, neighbors, the community, through Facebook and email, etc. But most especially at their church, where they will hang up posters, put announcements and flyers in the bulletin, and host an information/registration table in the foyer.
  1. Church and Personal Focus. These folks confine their focus to their church, but they do so very purposefully, just like the first group. They also do personal, one-to-one invitations, and make intentional use of social media and email. This is the biggest group.
  1. Personal Focus. These couples for one reason or another can’t invite people in their church, but want a personal ministry, so they make a list of at least 25 couples to personally invite, either by phone or in person. It’s the one-on-one invitation that is so powerful. Like the first two groups, these folks also make sure to regularly incorporate invitations through social media and email.

All the invitational tools you need – brochures, posters, bulletin inserts, etc., are free! You can order online anytime at www.FamilyLife.com/Promo.

I look forward to seeing what the Lord will do with your heart to reach others with the life-changing tool of the Weekend to Remember Getaway!  Your personal invitation may be what the Lord uses to change a life or a family for eternity!  Also, pastor couples can attend for FREE, and active military can receive $200 off their registration.
