ElectionMall announces a historic partnership with Salesforce.com, the leader in business on demand. Now the best in business applications combines with the best in campaign technology. ElectionMall is bringing you politics on demand.

Need Buttons?
Remember to use this most basic form of political advertising. ElectionMall has provided political buttons since 1999. Do you need custom buttons, throwbacks, pin backs, or just a boatload of button stickers? How about technology buttons for your website like Contribute Now or Signup Here? Need help with your button strategy? Call our web strategists and button experts.

Meditate On This
Make sure you’re not shut out of your campaign office on Election Day. Underestimating opponents can lead to falling victim to trickery and chicanery. Seriously, bring a drill to your campaign office on Election Day in case your campaign door has been super glued shut.

Breathing Exercise
Don’t fire your campaign manager right before the election. Take deep breaths every time you want to, even if it is six times a day. Politics is crazy making and can make your campaign manager seem like an idiot. Finding another person and bringing him or her up to speed can drive you even crazier.

New vocabulary
Floo-floo bird:
a liberal’s description of a conservative; a bird that flies backward, more interested in where it has been than where it is going. Originally Frank Lloyd Wright’s reference to the 1930’s state of American government architecture.
Themeless pudding: speech or campaign lacking originality, punch or clear purpose; political pointlessness. Winston Churchill originated this metaphor by turning away food set before him: “Take away this pudding – it has no theme”.

Did you know?
Did you know the House of Representatives debated the legality of wearing campaigns buttons back in 1900? Congressman E. L. Hamilton of Michigan defended his colleague’s right to “bear button”. Engage even the shyest of voters. Choose from our button gallery or design your own at www.electionmall.com/shopping.

Politics on Demand
Redefining the Campaign: A New Take on CRM

Managing customer relationships in the business world may seem like a picnic in comparison to managing campaign relationships. Within campaigns, the list starts with volunteers, donors, bloggers, media, political parties, party chairs, coalitions, etc. What is the best way to manage so many different groups? The data required and the subsequent management of all these groups requires a magic box. That magic box is CampaignForce, a collaborative effort between ElectionMall and Salesforce.com bringing you politics on demand.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) redefined for campaigns means that both strategy and management needed to combine into a system where winning campaign strategies could execute using trackable data. For example, tracking donors/volunteers and funneling them to the patent pending Donation Pages contribution system results in campaigns raising more money faster due to targeted information and compelling take action buttons. That is the beauty of politics on demand.

On demand technology is simple to use and does not interrupt the flow of your campaign. Now when you use any of ElectionMall’s on demand services, you are accessing the best in donor and volunteer management; tracking, updating, and maintaining of voter profiles; the best in mail-lists and walk-sheets; custom feeds, reports, and search capability. ElectionMall’s engaging, easy-to-use front-end system gives campaigns a way to leverage better results

The best in campaign and election technology now includes the best in business. We hope you try our politics on demand and experience this innovative partnership.

Building Awareness
Stress-Free Parades

Parade season is upon us. Supplying promotional products for these outdoor events can be a logistical nightmare. Many campaigns do not have the infrastructure or resources to sit on a stockpile of inventory or even buy in bulk. Make sure you know your options.

Here are the three ways to acquire the promotional items everyone expects from a well-running campaign:
  • If you have the resources, buy in bulk – purchasing a lot of a single item. Many vendors only offer this option.
  • If you have a smaller budget, purchase in mini-bulk. This means purchasing multiple items that total the quantity required for bulk purchases.
  • If you want to just pay as you go, use on demand services. A third party fulfills orders and no minimums are required.
Use the buying strategy that best pairs with your campaign. Promotional items, if used well, are strategic. Donors love specialized gifts such as customized lapel pins, polo shirts, and parade fans. Add some flair to your parade by using quality well thought out products.
