Convio for Political Campaigns and Parties

Political campaigning has traditionally employed postal mail and telephone contact to solicit votes, volunteers and contributions. But, these methods can be slow and labor-intensive. Phone contact relies on people being home, and direct mail is expensive and slow to generate response. If you're running a campaign or working for a party, you need a more cost-effective and efficient approach.

Dozens of political parties and candidates — including the groundbreaking Internet campaign of Howard Dean — have used Convio's integrated, ready-to-run solution for online campaigning and fundraising. Convio helps you use the Internet strategically to:

• Conduct targeted, cost-effective online fundraising using micro-campaigns around specific themes,
• Quickly build constituent lists through online registration and peer-to-peer communications,
• Rapidly expand your support base (the Dean for America campaign used Convio technology to build a list of more than 700,000), and
• Keep in contact with supporters through targeted email.

Convio provides a suite of software and services to help you manage fundraising and outreach programs over the Internet. You can purchase the full suite or only the products you need now, and add products and services as your needs grow:

• Convio Fundraising for creating online fundraising campaigns,
• Convio Web Content Management maintain a dynamic presence on the web,
• Convio Email Marketing to reduce reliance on traditional direct mail and phone contact,
• Constituent360™ online database for gathering and using information about members,
• DataSync for connecting online constituent data with offline databases for accurate, consistent information about campaign supporters and party members, and
• Common Ground™ donor database solution for managing all constituent relationships.

Having the right software tools is just one component of success. You also need the know-how to help you meet your objectives. Our Client Success Services team can help you define and execute your Internet marketing plans to drive and measure results. Convio also provides industry-leading training programs, technical and product usage support and account managers who understand the unique needs of nonprofit organizations.
