Tuesday, February 21, 2006
PoliticalSupport.com provides a gateway for candidates to acquire the online tools they need to win elections.
"PoliticalSupport.com brings together the multiple tools which we've developed over the years in one place. Candidates can now find and use in their campaigns everything that they need to win," said Ken Smith, managing partner and chief strategist for episode49,"our experience with the Republican National Committee and National Republican Senatorial Committee has lead us to create support systems that have what is necessary."
PoliticalSupport.com services enable candidates to create campaign sites. The sites serve to communicate the important information about the candidate through presentation of issues (as pages or multimedia files), the candidate biography, blog entries and news that is relevant to the candidate's issues and message. The sites help supporters with campaign materials, which can be either downloaded or requested through the web, and with campaign contacts. Campaign activities, and the people needed to make them happen, are directed effectively with the events calendar, team manager, media manager and action center.
"These tools, when used, make the most of all efforts to get out the vote", Smith said, "It's everything that needs to happen to win, made accessible and easy to learn and use."
Candidates utilizing the PoliticalSupport.com site may also elect to use the donation and fund raising tools. The donation capability can be augmented to drive personalized fundraising campaigns that include custom donation pages, donor surveys, and permit amounts to be setup to repeat. All donation results can be reviewed in real time.
"As part of our digital planning process, we work with the candidates organizations to find the right tools, and make certain they know about the technology which gets results." Smith said, "We are able to develop creative solutions through our understanding of the important needs of the candidates, and we create solutions that perform. We work with the Bivings Group to create and manage a look that best amplifies the message of the candidate."
The Bivings Group focuses on strategically deploying Internet technology as a sophisticated communications tool for corporations, trade associations, governmental agencies, and not-for-profit institutions throughout the world. Their website is www.bivings.com.
"The magic of the Internet lies not in the technology, but rather in its strategic use," said F. Gary Bivings, President of The Bivings Group.
