Political Fundraising with WinRed and Tatango

Political Fundraising with WinRed and Tatango Integration

Political text messaging has taken the election world by storm. Texting is extremely direct and reliable, especially compared to emails (which are often filtered to junk or spam folders) or vague television ads. Almost all SMS messages are read within three minutes of being sent. The marketing text message open rate is impressive, sitting at 99%. For these reasons, SMS messages have become central to most political campaigns these days.

It’s no secret that candidates must have an effective fundraising strategy in place to stand a fighting chance. Without financial support, even the best candidates and ideas could be overlooked. Political donations make it possible to get a candidate’s views and proposed policies in front of the American people and help enact change within our communities.

One political fundraising tool that many conservative candidates and organizations use is WinRed. In this blog post, learn more about SMS fundraising with WinRed, and how integrating these technologies leads to more donations, votes, and wins.

 

Fundraising with SMS Messages 

Political campaigns have learned that the most effective and efficient way to run a fundraising campaign is to use political SMS marketing software. SMS software allows political groups, candidates, and organizations to send mass text messages with unique messaging for each audience, location, and cause. A candidate can speak directly to donors and create compelling messages to boost their campaign’s donation efforts. 

On average, our clients see an ROI of $5 in donations for every $1 spent on text marketing.

For well over a decade, Tatango has been a leading expert in SMS marketing. Our software integrates seamlessly with all major political fundraising tools, including WinRed, a GOP fundraising software, to make it simple for supporters to donate via SMS messages. 

Let’s take a closer look at Tatango and WinRed and break down how using these platforms will net the best ROI on your Republican campaign fundraising efforts. We work with our political clients to maximize their donations coming from contributions by major donors and grassroots efforts across the United States—and we can help you do the same.

 

What is WinRed?

Political Fundraising with WinRed and Tatango 1

WinRed is a conservative fundraising software endorsed by the Republican National Committee. The WinRed fundraising software focuses on smaller GOP text donations and helps the Republican party branch into the grassroots fundraising space. WinRed took in an impressive $130 million in the first quarter of 2020.

WinRed is the ideal software for Republican candidates who wish to focus their SMS fundraising efforts on grassroots donations. The WinRed platform has partnered with Tatango to create a more streamlined and efficient Republican text fundraising process to maximize every campaign’s ROI. With this integration, a campaign can send an SMS message to a supporter, and that supporter can easily donate via text message.

WinRed vs. ActBlue

You may have heard of another political fundraising tool, ActBlue. WinRed was created to compete with this grassroots fundraising platform, favored by the Democratic party. One significant difference between WinRed and ActBlue is that WinRed doesn’t disclose donation levels, though both organizations help candidates raise donations.
