Are you in charge of getting support for a political candidate or issue? Winning elections has always been about getting your message out and boosting voter turnout. And in this new media age, you can rock the vote with text!
Make sure you use these 3 key steps to launch a successful text message communications campaign for your political candidate or issue.
- Pick the right partner- Chose a text message communications provider that has a proven track record of successful text campaigns (clients and results), has a simple-to-use texting platform (no training required), understands the rules and best practices, and knows how text messaging is best applied (experience to know what works). Momares.com can help you create and launch your text message program.
- Have a plan to start- Create a communications calendar with the key messages you want to send to your supporters and schedule them for delivery in advance. If things change, know that you can alert constituents of changes at any time, instantly. Momares’s text scheduling and send-now features are designed for this purpose.
- Promote your candidate’s mobile program. You want to build a large mobile list of supporters as quickly as possible. The best way to do this is to promote your mobile call-to-action (Text CANDIDATENAME to 65047 to join us!) everywhere. And we mean everywhere! On your Facebook page, Twitter background, website, campaign materials, flyers, direct mailers, yard signs, robocalls and t-shirts. Create your call-to-action by registering your candidate’s name (keyword) with Momares for free. Check keyword availability here.
