Blog 1 | Gather - The First Step in Creating Timeless Family Keepsake Books by EncourageWell

At EncourageWell, we believe that the most treasured family keepsake books are those that capture the voices and memories of the entire community of loved ones. The first step in creating your EncourageWell Book is to gather friends and family, ensuring their contributions make your keepsake book a true reflection of collective memories and shared experiences.

Why Your Community Matters

The essence of a family keepsake book lies not just in preserving individual memories but in weaving together the diverse perspectives and stories of everyone who has been a part of your journey. Friends, family, and community members each hold unique memories and insights that can enrich your EncourageWell Book, making it a more complete and heartfelt tribute.

Simple and Seamless Service

Gathering contributions from your community is a simple process that takes less than an hour. Here's how you can easily involve them:

Step 1: Add Contact Information

Begin by adding the names, emails, and phone numbers of those you want to contribute to your EncourageWell Book. This can include family members, friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

Step 2: Choose Contribution Categories

Next, select categories for how you want each person to contribute. For example, suppose you create a GrieveWell Book to honor a loved one who has passed away. In that case, you might categorize contributors as "Memory Contributors" to share their fondest memories and stories.

Step 3: Automated Invitations

Our platform covers the rest once you've added the contact information and chosen the categories. Each person will receive an email prompt with all the instructions, coaching, and reminders to contribute meaningfully. This ensures the process is smooth and stress-free for you and your contributors.

The Impact of Collective Memories

The words and memories shared by your community add depth and authenticity to your EncourageWell Book. They transform it from a personal project into a collective masterpiece that celebrates your family's life, love, and legacy. Each contribution is a thread in the fabric of your shared history, creating a richer and more meaningful keepsake.
