One of the most difficult aspects of a campaign is a public calendar, even more so a calendar online. A great tool we utilize is Eventful. Eventful makes it easy to organize a political calendar in a social network setting. Your event feed can be turned into a widget that is easily plugged into you website. Several of our clients use Eventful and have had great success.

Patrick Ruffini has great analysis of the length of fundraising emails between McCain, Obama, and Hillary. I always stress that “short and sweet” emails can be more effective. A blast email is similar to the front page of a newspaper. The headline (subject line) has to be attention grabbing. The most important part of the email must be “above the fold,” and links must be at the top. Also, the content must be interesting and relevant to the reader.

Congratulations to Pat McCrory and his campaign team for their primary victory on May 6. It certainly was an impressive victory and we excited to announce www.patmccrory.com. We will post a summary of the site shortly. Once again, congratulations to the McCrory team.

Building a complete online program for your campaign or cause is a big job. Many of the Republican firms out there have limited capability. Most Republicans have never had a competitive online strategy, as such very few firms actually have experience running online programs.

Our team has that experience.
