According to a survey commissioned by Mitto, one-third of Americans say campaign text messages impacted their 2020 voting decision. Of 1,000 Americans surveyed, 31 percent reported that a campaign text message influenced them to vote in the general election, and 26 percent were influenced to donate to a candidate or political party. SMS marketing proved to be a valuable asset in the 2020 election by helping campaigns gather support and raise funds while observing COVID-19 safety precautions.
In this blog post, we’ll introduce the donation platform Anedot and the SMS marketing platform Tatango. Additionally, we’ll share how the two platforms integrate to create a smooth and easy text message donation process for Republican campaign candidates.
Political donations are a vital part of a the campaign process, helping a candidate’s message reach and impact more Americans. The well-being and the future of the American people are at the heart of every election. But without proper funding, it’s difficult to have important discussions and get urgent messaging out to voters. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many in-person events, meetings, and conversations moved to the digital arena.
Prioritizing the American people’s safety, many Republican candidates relied on text messages to have vital conversations with their constituents. SMS messaging is a simple and effective way to communicate with supporters. It’s less formal than email, which helps the message resonate better and create a more intimate space for conversations about important issues.
SMS messages won’t go through a spam filter and get sorted into a spam folder. The most urgent campaign updates arrive quickly on the mobile devices of your Republican subscribers.
