SMS Platform For Politics & Advocacy
For political candidates and organizations, mobilizing constituents is crucial. Whether you’re rallying community members, communicating with constituents, or sharing important election information, Subtext’s political text messaging service offers powerful features that connect you directly with your audience—without the influence of trolls and algorithms.
Connect with Constituents
Create direct lines for civic engagement. Subtext opens dynamic text channels for constituents to easily voice concerns, ask questions, and receive updates from a political representative’s office. These interactive text channels facilitate both one-on-one and at-mass communications with subscribers. They also offer an accessible entry point for community members without broadband internet.
Activate Your Residents
Connect directly with residents to drive engagement and action. The Town of Andover launched “Andover Insider: Town Hall Text Line” which was described as “a powerful new way for residents to stay informed about what's going on at Andover Town Offices and around the community.” Within the first month, the team saw a subscriber growth rate of 124%. After just 3 months, they were already 75% of the way to their yearly subscriber goal with a less than 4% churn rate.
Provide Accessible Information
Deliver updates to every community. Reporter Lexis-Olivier Ray, covering the housing crisis in Los Angeles, recognized the power of political text messaging services to share potentially life-saving information about sanitation stations, shelters, food, and more. Through a dedicated Subtext line, Lexis-Olivier offers an invaluable lifeline for vulnerable communities in dire need of timely, informative updates.
Send Campaign Alerts
Captivate subscribers with insider political content. The team at FloridaPolitics.com tapped into Subtext’s platform to send political text alerts, bringing the latest news and analysis on Florida State Legislative Sessions and beyond. With a large and loyal audience, they’ve also monetized branded messages through lucrative sponsorship deals thanks to the real-time power of the text service.
Offer Community Support
Provide community guidance where it counts. In Central Florida, news station WKMG leveraged Subtext to ease bureaucratic burdens with personalized advice for residents navigating unemployment and other public benefits.
