Did you know it’s possible to massively change Social Media Results !
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Did you know Obama’s success was driven by Social Media?
• Just like President John F. Kennedy used this new invention called television, President Obama used Social Media to beat the odds and to become the POTUS.
• “If not for the Internet, Barack Obama would not be president not even the democratic nominee” said Arianna Huffington of the liberal Huffington Post website.
“There is no Bad Candidate”
“There is only a badly run campaign!”
You: The Candidate HELP ME TO DECIDE WHY I SHOULD VOTE FOR YOU
TARGET YOUR AUDIENCE
KNOW WHO YOUR VOTERS ARE
Your push card is your resume
• You applied for the office by sending out your push cards
• There are so many qualified candidates but,
• The Voter can hire ONLY ONE!
• Is THAT ONE YOU? • You (the candidate) are
only 1 click away from voters on your website
DIGITAL TRENDS • Digital natives are the first generation to have grown up
surrounded by digital devices (i.e., computers, smart- phones, digital cameras, video recorders, etc.) and Internet connectivity. They are comfortable using technology to optimize their decision making.
• Digital immigrants, however, are older, and although they are increasingly comfortable with technology, they fundamentally view retail channels as separate and distinct. They are much less likely than natives to incorporate mobile technology into their socio-political behaviors.
• Digital dependents represent the emerging generation of young people who
are growing up in a world of broadband connections, constant connectivity, and related technology and become uncomfortable if they do not have access to it. This generation will place even greater demands on politicians, expecting to use technology to study the issues before casting their votes perhaps online.
