Digital Team
How do I mass communicate with people who are engaged with the campaign and get a higher contact rate from my message (as well as a higher activation rate than other channels), as well as automate a lot of the conversations so I can communicate with more people?
A campaign digital team wants to quickly recruit for events (both local and statewide) — so they set up a short code and opt-in keywords to get people to opt in. Once people opt into the SMS program, they can then be texted about events happening — and they can RSVP within a flow.
It’s expensive — and they usually ask for 12-month contracts, which is inconvenient for a campaign.
Not currently but syncs with ActBlue and BSD to automatically opt in people from those forms.
The standard entry-level pricing is $2,000/month for a 12-month contract and 100,000 SMS only (no MMS) per month.
Longer contracts can be less expensive and come with value-add ons that make it worthwhile.

Republicans have spent decades cultivating talent and investing for the long run, and right now we’re paying the price. Republicans control 30 state legislatures, 28 governors mansions, and are just a few seats away from regaining control of Congress. Together with an activist Supreme Court, they’re enacting policies that turn back progress on everything from abortion to voting rights to climate change.
