As political fundraising evolves, so should your strategy. Utilizing video texting to engage and reconnect with donors will ensure present and future success.
In the realm of political and advocacy campaigns, previous donors stand as the cornerstone of potential new support. These individuals have already demonstrated their belief in your cause by previously making campaign contributions.
Reaching out to them through pairing strong video and MMS text messaging is both a swift and cost-effective approach. It enables you to maintain their engagement or even entice them to offer further contributions.
Texting Previous Donors Is Key When Fundraising for Political Campaigns
When it comes to garnering responses and achieving the highest Return on Investment (ROI), previous donors are the golden ticket for advocacy and political campaign fundraising.
Their pre-existing investment signifies a shared belief in your cause. Reconnecting with them through text messages is a potent way to ensure they stay involved and become more likely to contribute again. This personalized outreach also serves as a reminder of their prior involvement, reigniting their connection to your cause.
Connecting to Political Donors with Video
While the conventional high-production campaign fundraising ads hold their sway, an underrated gem exists in direct-to-camera videos. These videos are shot in a more personal and conversational style, establishing a deeper connection between the candidate or organizer and the recipient. This approach leverages the existing relationship between the donor and the cause, making it feel like a natural continuation.
The narrative arc of such a video should follow a path that outlines the mission, the goals, obstacles faced, a direct campaign donation ask, and a restatement of the mission as a collaborative effort between the donor and the candidate. This method imbues the message with sincerity and resonates with the donor on a more personal level.
