Are you looking to run an affordable but effective effort in support of a candidate or ballot measure? Are you a well-funded operation, but want to increase your penetration?
Are you a candidate or campaign manager looking to contact more voters as part of an overall campaign strategy, or do you need to refocus your efforts from traditional and costly direct mail or advertising plans as a cost-cutting measure?
With our proprietary database of over 120 million email addresses and the ability to build highly targeted and dynamic databases for you,
e
Lect Strategies
is here to help. FOR CANDIDATES and INIATIVES
Direct Voter Contact
This is
e
Lect Strategies'
primary tool: direct-to-voter email communication for political campaigns. We don't recommend our direct email tools as a replacement for other voter contact efforts. But at a fraction of the cost of direct mail, telemarketing, or hired canvassers, an email campaign is a powerful supplement to your campaign's message that will provide you with the voter contacts you need to
give you the edge
over your opponents – this holds true for the smallest town council race all the way up to the statewide and presidential level.
Our efforts are simple – and quick. The campaign sends us a voter file. We match the file with our database. Or – we build a targeted list for you using our data. Within days, communications with voters begins, and continues right on up to Election Day.
"Primary Means" Communication
Is your campaign unable to afford a full-fledged effort, with direct mail, advertising and all of their requisite costs? Or are you only looking to invest a small amount of resources into your effort to effectively persuade voters in an election?
e
Lect Strategies
is for you. Utilizing our over 120 million verified email addresses and advanced targeting technology, an email campaign can be a highly effective stand-alone effort for campaigns operating on small budgets.
Grassroots Recruiting
Want to boost your grassroots fundraising or volunteer/donor numbers? We can do that. Utilizing any number of over 300 data fields we can target the most engaged voters in your universe by identifying items such as causes supported, organizations contributed to, and voting frequency in order to help yield the maximum number of active supporters.
Event Promotion
Need to boost attendance at a rally or drive bodies to a headliner event? We can do that.
Independent Expenditure Campaigns
Recent developments in campaign finance laws only make the services of
e
Lect Strategies
that much more valuable to the public policy efforts of corporations, unions, and PACs. An effective email campaign can be utilized as a part of an independent expenditure on behalf of a candidate, or can run a stand-alone email campaign to provide extra voter contacts for a supported campaign, or to disseminate facts about the opposition.
With over 120 million email addresses and the ability to target voters utilizing over 300 data fields, the possibilities for email integration into your independent expenditure are literally endless. And, given the unique capabilities of
e
Lect Strategies
, such efforts offer services to a campaign that will be unmatched by its opposition. Are you a non-profit seeking to boost your regional or national membership or visibility?
A company seeking to respond directly to crises? A developer seeking to increase community relations during a zoning effort?
The applications for
e
Lect Strategies
technology are endless. If you are a company or organization seeking to enhance your operations by going to the public, we are here to help.
Grassroots Recruiting and Coalition Building:
Want to recruit engaged members of the public to your cause? Utilizing targeting technologies and data collection, we can accomplish this for you, whether your issue is a local concern, statewide matter, or nationwide challenge.
Grassroots Lobbying
Seeking to encourage members of the public to contact an individual elected official? Or is the need much broader, with an immediate demand for voters across an entire state to weigh in and stir the legislative pot? By utilizing our database information to target those most likely to support your cause, we can reach these voters and encourage them to act.
Issue Awareness
Want to raise awareness about an issue that matters to your company or organization? An email campaign is an affordable and effective way to supplement a campaign, or as a stand-alone effort if you are operating on a shoestring.
Crisis Communication
Has your organization recently experienced a public relations crisis? An email campaign is the single fastest and most affordable way to respond by going directly to the public to deliver your message. Membership Drives & Coalition
Is your membership in a specific geographic area lacking? Are you looking to expand? By targeting individuals likely to support your organization's mission based on data available to us, we can be a vital asset in a membership drive.

Looking to do some inexpensive communication with non-members to raise your organization's presence in the community? We can do that.
