MMS Messages

Did you know that 90 percent of text messages sent to subscribers are opened within the first three minutes? Take advantage of the high open rates in text message marketing by using MMS messaging to increase subscriber engagement. MMS makes it possible to enrich political text messages with GIFs, images, and hyperlinks. With these added capabilities, political candidates can get more creative with their messaging and inspire their subscribers to donate, sign petitions, or share with friends and family.

Imagine the positive impact on voter turnout that a quick video message could have. Sending animated thank you messages to individual donors ensures personal touch and a lasting positive impression that will guarantee they won’t regret funding your campaign. And adding a hyperlink voters can click to find their nearest polling location could make a big difference on election night. 

 

SMS Segmentation 

With Tatango’s SMS platform, our clients can segment subscriber list based on similar characteristics. The possibilities to target communication to segmented audiences are nearly limitless. Political candidates can send strategic messages to subscribers based on their interests, zip code, and donation amounts. For example, if you want to increase voter turnout in a specific county, you can send a targeted CTA message only to those constituents in the relevant zip codes.
