Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. EmployeeDeskHQ publishes no acknowledgement rate, no engagement benchmark and no response-time standard: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own team's figures.
A church communications strategy, written properly, fits on one sheet: the grid of every ministry crossed with every channel, an owner and a deadline per channel, the acknowledgement rule for notices that must be known, and the yearly volume read honestly against the volunteers who will carry it. The strategy grid on this site works all of it from your own congregation's figures, free and without an account; EmployeeDeskHQ Pro then runs the sheet: lists, sending, acknowledgements, record.

Strategy is the grid, filled
Every cell is a decision, including the deliberate blanks. On the worked example that is 24 decisions, which is an afternoon with the ministry leads, not a consultancy engagement.
Strategy is also arithmetic
416 announcements a year across 2 volunteers is the real plan; a strategy that ignores its own volume is a document, not a strategy. The tool shows the load per volunteer before anyone commits to it.
The rules that keep it alive
Owners, deadlines and the acknowledgement rule survive volunteer turnover because they are written; the checklist scores the coverage every term.
From sheet to system
When the sheet is agreed, Pro turns the same groups and channels into live lists with the record attached. From the vendor's own pricing page: Blink lists Core at $5.60 per user per month billed monthly or $3.75 billed annually, and Pro at $7.00 monthly or $5.00 annually. EmployeeDeskHQ Pro is $29 per month for the whole team, which undercuts the per-user benchmark from six seats.
