Two Effective Approaches
At RoboCent, we offer two highly effective methods for conducting SMS Surveys. Choose the approach that best aligns with your campaign goals and resources.
Option 1: Link-Based Survey
In this approach, your message contains a link to an external survey platform where recipients can share their opinions. This method is highly efficient and automated, requiring minimal hands-on engagement from your team.
Example:
Hello {fname} this is {agent_first_name} from [Organization Name]. We value your opinion on [Issue/Topic]. Please click the link to complete our quick survey: [Survey Link]. To opt-out, reply with 'Stop'.
Our team can manage the entire survey process for you, including the creation of voter-specific URLs. This allows you to not only collect valuable information but also to know exactly who it's coming from. Contact our team to get started.
Option 2: Interactive Messaging Survey
For a more personalized touch, you can engage your contacts in a back-and-forth text dialogue. This approach requires a dedicated team to manage the ongoing conversation and gather responses manually.
How It Works:
The initial text message is sent to your contact list, either by RoboCent if you opt for the Managed Service, or by the client directly if you choose the Self-Service option during scheduling.
Once the initial messages are sent, your team of staff and volunteers take over the conversation. Utilizing the Agent Portal, they engage in personalized, one-on-one interactions to collect survey responses from recipients.
Example:
Hi {fname}, it's {agent_first_name} with [Organization Name]. Quick question: On a scale of 1-5, how important is [Issue/Topic] to you? Your feedback helps us focus on what matters most to our community. Want to opt-out? Reply w/ 'stop'.
Note: While RoboCent can handle the delivery of your initial messages, your team is responsible for managing any subsequent back-and-forth communication to conduct the survey.
Choose the survey method that fits your campaign's needs for a successful and meaningful outreach.
When crafting text message scripts for your political campaign, it's crucial to consider the tone you want to convey to your audience. The tone you choose should align with your campaign's goals and the specific message you're delivering. Here are some tone options along with descriptions and examples for each type:
Inspirational Tone:
Description: An inspirational tone is ideal for motivating and energizing your audience. It's all about stirring emotions and inspiring action.
Example: "Join us in making history! Your vote can shape the future of our community. Let's come together and create a brighter tomorrow. Voting for [Candidate Name] is your chance to make a difference."
Friendly and Approachable Tone:
Description: This tone exudes warmth and approachability, making your audience feel comfortable and valued.
Example: "Hi there, {fname}! It's {agent_first_name} from [Organization Name]. We're here to help you every step of the way. Have questions about voting? Just reply, and we'll provide all the info you need."
Informative and Educational Tone:
Description: An informative tone is perfect for delivering important details and updates to your audience while maintaining a neutral and educational style.
Example: "Stay informed about the upcoming election! Early voting starts today, and we're here to guide you through the process. Avoid the Election Day rush and cast your vote now for [Candidate Name]."
Urgent Tone:
Description: When time is of the essence, an urgent tone can be effective in encouraging quick action from your audience.
Example: "Time is running out! Request your absentee ballot today to ensure your vote counts for [Candidate Name]. Don't wait—let's make a difference together!"
Gratitude and Appreciation Tone:
Description: Expressing gratitude and appreciation can foster a sense of community and recognition among your audience.
Example: "Thank you, {fname}, for being an active participant in our democracy. Your support for [Candidate Name] means the world to us. Together, we'll achieve great things."
Professional and Authoritative Tone:
Description: A professional tone conveys authority and seriousness, often suitable for policy-related messages or formal announcements.
Example: "This is an official message from [Organization Name]. We want to ensure your voice is heard in the upcoming election. Stay informed and vote for [Candidate Name] to shape our community's future."
CTA-Driven (Call to Action) Tone:
Description: When you want your audience to take immediate action, a CTA-driven tone emphasizes the urgency of the message.
Example: "It's time to act! Early voting has begun. Head to the polls now and support [Candidate Name]. Every vote counts, and we need yours!"
