5 ways Empower Engine can help you right now
We’re four months from the most consequential election in our lifetime. Thanks to the pandemic, we’re all adjusting our strategies to deal with this unprecedented challenge. As you adjust your strategies, Empower Engine wants to help. Here are 5 ways we can help you right now:
1. Get a live look at your voter contact
No doubt you’ve been making calls and sending texts to voters. But how do you know if you’re hitting the right places? With Empower Engine you can visualize your voter contact in as few as 3 clicks, getting a real-time look at your work. Now, thanks to our latest update, you can set up these penetration datasets yourself, and create maps that update nightly. Learn more about our VAN integration.
2. Give Everyone on your Team Maps of Key Data Scaled to their District
When people think of campaign maps, they usually think of a long arduous process for which they don’t have enough time, especially when it comes to supporting remote staff - and all our staff are remote this cycle. Our map distribution system makes creating a set of important maps for any district as easy as a single click. Our partners in Arizona and Missouri have seen this feature change their work.
3. Prepare for Absentee/Early Vote monitoring
Mail-in voting and the early vote are going to be even more important this year, as voters are preparing to avoid crowds on Election Day. As we get close to the voting time, you’ll be able to quickly map your voters who requested an absentee ballot, and you can monitor turnout as the votes come in. Identifying voters that need an extra touch can help drive turnout, as it did for our partners in Minnesota.
4. Define your Turf in a Fraction of the Time Defining organizer turf - even in a virtual world - is one of the most time-consuming things that Data Directors do on a campaign, requiring hours of work. We make this a digitally interactive experience, where you see the implications of every choice you make. From Florida to Wisconsin, our clients are using this feature to save tons of crucial time. You can learn more about this feature here, check out this example of Iowa’s First Congressional District.
5. Make your Fundraising Stand out
Maps and visuals can make your case to a donor. Right now, you’re competing with campaigns at every level, not to mention outside groups, party committees, and so on. You need something unique that shows a donor why you deserve their time and money. Using our District Reports, you can give a donor a set of maps that lay out your path to victory, showing them exactly what you’re doing with their money. You can even engage them by showing the plans for their neighborhood.
