Send a Text, Gain a Vote!

If you are involved in an upcoming election, consider using SMS/MMS texts in your election marketing campaign. Text messages have an open rate of 98%, compared to 20% for emails. Using a text message, you are practically guaranteed it will be opened. It is highly likely that with captivating and engaging content of fewer than 160 characters, it will be read.

In today’s society, your political campaign strategy cannot afford to overlook text messaging. The average young voter, a group every campaign should target, receives an average of 87.7 text messages each day. Make sure at least one of them is from your political campaign.

If that isn’t enough to convince, here are five more reasons to use text messaging in your political campaign.

1. Increase funds raised for the campaign

Send a text message asking voters to donate and get immediate results using text messages. Including a button to donate will show results within minutes. A follow-up text can thank them and inform them where their contribution is making a difference.

2. Stay connected with volunteers and supporters

Keep your supporters and campaign volunteers up to date. Send text messages to respond to questions or suggestions. Sending responses to every message can become increasingly difficult as your campaign gains momentum. Use a custom autoresponder! Voters and volunteers need to hear from your campaign to increase their enthusiasm.

3. Get out the vote (GOTV) initiatives

We need more people participating in our elections. Elections give people their largest voice in decisions that impact significant issues (i.e., healthcare, retirement, economy, foreign affairs, etc.). Every vote counts! Outcomes are determined by turnout. Use text messaging to inform people of upcoming deadlines and polling locations. Ensure everyone knows when it’s time to vote! Using text messages or updates via Ringless Voicemail can reach more people in a shorter amount of time.

4. Send surveys and polls

Learn what voters want with a text message survey. It’s the fastest and easiest way to gather valuable feedback from your districts, to understand the issues voters really care about and improve your chances of winning. TextP2P uses MMS text messages, so each question, and answer choices, can contain a picture and 1600 characters.

5. Organize your volunteers

Need to mobilize your volunteers? No problem! They’ll be on the move with just the click of a button. Use TextP2P to deploy volunteers into the community. You can communicate assignments, upcoming events, canvassing efforts, and more.

Ringless Voicemail for Business

Have you ever wanted to get a message to multiple customers quickly and efficiently without speaking to them in person or spending the time to call each individual? You can now with Ringless Voicemail (RVM). This cutting-edge enhanced service is the latest sales and marketing method in business today. Unlike the interruptive cold-calling approach, you can advertise straight to your customer’s voicemail without ever having to pick up the phone, AND they can listen (to your voice) and respond at their convenience. Also, with an average open rate of 98%, Ringless Voicemail guarantees that nearly all customers will listen to your message.

How It Works

Ringless Voicemail, also called a voicemail drop, works by delivering (or “dropping”) a pre-recorded audio message directly to mobile voicemails without the phone ever ringing. Instead, bulk or single voicemails are loaded directly into the customer’s voicemail server. This non-intrusive form of messaging eliminates the time it takes going through the normal process of dialing, ringing, and then entering a voicemail system.

This simple and effective marketing method is perfect for restaurant businesses, retail shops, schools, small business owners, non-profits, real estate firms, fitness centers, and auto dealers- to name a few. All messages are delivered to new or existing leads without the need for salespeople or customer service reps. Here are a few other benefits to using RVM:

Non-interruptive communication
Build loyalty and longer-lasting relationships
Increase incentive referrals & reviews
Re-engage leads
Reach thousands in minutes

In addition, RMV can also be used internally within the organization to relay important messages throughout different departments. Save time and effort by delivering your message directly into their voicemail with the click of a mouse.

With TextP2P, you can be sending your customers RVM campaigns in three easy steps:

Create your campaign and chose Ringless Voicemail recipient(s).
Record your message using a provided audio recording system.
Choose a recorded message and send it to your chosen contact list.

You can also combine TextP2P’s text marketing and Ringless Voicemail services to create an automated drip campaign that saves you time and helps organize your customer communication and new lead follow-ups.
