Taking Texting to the Next Level

Are you texting your voters with sound and video?

If not, you are missing out on a major opportunity!

Low propensity and undecided voters are notoriously hard to reach. Your campaign budget probably includes TV, digital display, and social media ads all targeted at this group. That’s great … you should keep doing that!

But the only way to SHARE your sound and video … AND engage voters in a conversation about what they’ve seen is through peer to peer text messaging.

Here at CampaignHQ, we don’t just specialize in sending out peer to peer text messages (although I admit we’re pretty great at it!)

We specialize in having conversations that communicate your message and drive results.

We recently spoke with a Congressional candidate whose district includes six different DMA’s. In some markets, this candidate would be advertising to an audience where 80% of the viewers live outside the district.

Based on previous campaigns, we estimated that it would cost well over $1,000,000 to reach his target universe with enough frequency to register awareness.

However, we could text the people in his target universe 14 times for less than 20% of that, sharing a variety of messages including sound and video, and having an interactive conversation to find out what those voters think.

This would enable the candidate to capture information about individual voters, their candidate and issue preferences. In fact, this could even replace part of his ID and turnout budget.

Just think you’ve spent a lot of your hard won campaign cash producing GREAT video content. Don’t you want every voter to see it?

Contact us at (888) 722-4704 or marlys@chq.us to plan your winning strategy today!

Thanks,

Nicole Schlinger, President of Campaign Headquarters

In memory

We recently lost a dear member of our CampaignHQ family.

Liz Allison had been with our CHQ family for four years. Her caring and giving spirit was demonstrated each and every day.

When someone needed something, it was not unusual for Liz to come through for them. We will miss our Friday lunches, where Liz always delivered amazing food. Her love for art and crafts was seen in the beautiful way she decorated her work space. Her love for her co-workers and friends was seen in more ways than we could ever say.

We will all miss Liz.

I had a great time at the CampaignExpo and was thrilled to be on a panel on business sustainability with such talented people.

If you’re in the campaign business, I’d encourage you to attend some events like this in the future. It will help you meet new people, reconnect with old friends, share you knowledge with others or get ideas for the future.

Summer Wind Down

The end of summer is near. As county fairs start to wrap up and parents have printed the school supply list, I realized I never posted about all the fun our CHQ family had at the Brooklyn Flag Festival.
