Our goal was to register new voters.

voters
• We messaged our list twice, gently nudging
them to vote.
I’m the director of the digital media department at the NAACP—I hope you all have seen our website…and that if you have a story that you think should garner national attention—send it to me, and we’ll see if we can post it on the blog. My email is jadams@naacpnet.org (and I’ll repeat my contact again at the end of this presentation.) Before I start, I want to tell you a little about where I come from--
NAACP was able to communicate with 28,764 subscribers to get out the vote in 2012. In the month leading up to the election, NAACP grew its list by over 1,000 subscribers. The mobile messaging strategy was primarily focused on getting out the vote—we did this via a partnership with New Organizing Institute. NOI worked with Google to create an open API that all 501c3 orgs could use to provide state by state information on voting. We pushed this information out to our 12 deep dive states via NOI links and an early voting Tumblr created by Revolution Messaging—it provided information on in-person early voting. Throughout the month, we continued to ask our list for their zip codes—to better serve them with voter information. And towards the end of the month, Revolution Messaging built a polling place look up that provided a voter’s polling place once they texted in POLL and followed the prompts.
Here are some sample messages
The civic engagement meme campaign combined pop culture/history and stories to encourage new mobile subscribers and voter registrations via the 1866MYVote1 campaign. Our top five posts included:10/9 “Jamie Foxx GOTV” meme: shared 1,760 times with 3,052 likes, reach of 33,513 10/1 “Six Reasons Why We Vote” meme: shared 1,409 times with 1,678 likes, reach of 25,43710/19 “Pledge to Vote” martyrs meme: shared 1,294 times with 2,352 likes, reach of 30,01810/31 Politics Nation Early Voting share: shared 442 times with 1,560 likes, reach of 12,85210/26 Pledge to Vote-Equality meme: shared 166 times with 559 likes, reach of 15,151
We had a substantial list—but in order to grow up—we often just had a number and a name. As you know—folks are more mobile than ever and generally folks will bring their phone numbers when they move, so there is no real way of knowing a person resided in their area code. So we had to poll the list—and poll and poll the list. We sent our a number of creative messages that resulted in geographic information.
We’re a membership organization so we want to convert all our mobile subscribers to NAACP members.
