When I was the VT Coordinator, I would do monthly “campaigns”. For example, my first month–in the month of November, I made a huge turkey with a feather for each sister who was visit taught. When the sisters completed their Visiting Teaching, they were allowed to pluck their sisters feathers from the turkey. Our goal was to get the turkey plucked before Thanksgiving. Our numbers were higher that month than ever before. The sisters loved the visual that sat in the foyer and even the Priesthood commented on how neat it was to see the turkey lose its feathers. Another campaign involved a contest to see which district could get their Visiting Teaching numbers in first. For those who turned their numbers in the first week of the month, they got 5 points. Those that turned them in during the 2nd week got 4 points and so on. The sisters in the district that won got a treat– a candy bar with a cute saying on it.
