ATTN COUNCILLORS: Reach Your Entire Electorate in 2021

How to reach your entire LGA with a multi-channel marketing strategy for this year’s election campaign.

Looking to have your campaign present across multiple channels? Wondering how you can reach all voters? Want to increase community trust?

A multi-channel approach will ensure you reach your electorate across all touch points. The more times your campaign is seen the more likely your message will be recalled. This means delivering your campaign message across multiple channels using, for example, direct mail, outdoor advertising, social media marketing, television, radio and newspaper.

Reaching your electorate is step one, but how you do it is step two.

How are you personalising your message? Are you segmenting and tailoring your message to each demographic in your electorate?

Reach Your ENTIRE Audience

Your audience uses multiple channels when consuming media. From finding information online to watching adverts on TV. From listening to radio adverts to reading their local paper and mail. Whilst we’re sure you already know your community accesses information differently, it’s time to think about how you can design your campaign to maximise reach across a plethora of touchpoints.

It’s vital that you do not leave any corner of your electorate in the dark. A multi-channel marketing strategy will reach all your potential voters so that they SEE, HEAR and CHOOSE YOU.

Develop A Unified Message

Much like a business your campaign is reflecting your brand. Consistency across your campaign will increase recall, credibility and trust. But your message must be:

TRANSPARENT

66% believe transparency is one of the most attractive qualities in a brand (source: Oberlo)

AND MEANINGFUL

Harness Your Creativity

Your 2021 election campaign must STAND OUT. Here’s a few ideas to think about:

• Go LIVE on Facebook / Instagram to stream to your followers and answer any questions that they may have. Then take it further with an AMA (ask me anything) to have your audience ask questions about your life that aren’t politically related to better humanise your campaign and build relationships
• Use creative shapes in your direct mail campaign so that your message STANDS OUT in your electorate’s letterbox

Let’s get creative together!
