Campaign Manager Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to hire a campaign manager if I utilize Campaign Manager Solutions™?
Campaign managers can consume a large percentage of any campaign’s war chest. On average, and assuming the campaign manager has experience, the position can cost up to $3000 per month. CampaignON can serve that role and work with a volunteer you appoint to help manage your campaign, from any location. And, with the extra dollars you save you can do more advertising, buy more signs, send out additional direct mailers—all the tools that make your campaign more visible, gain more votes, and win elections!
What if I decide to use another company to provide any or all of the following services or products; marketing/advertising, strategy consulting, media relations, signs and other collateral materials, website development or create my direct mailing pieces?
All the services above are included with your Campaign Manager Solutions™ package. If you decide to use another source or multiple sources to provide those services, we will work closely with those vendors to incorporate their work into your CampaignON program. CampaignON estimates that we can save your campaign about 60% of operating costs by utilizing Campaign Manager Solutions™ package.
Does CampaignON work for any candidate, regardless of party affiliation? Will you represent more than one candidate in a particular race?
CampaignON is proud to be a non-partisan company! Before a candidate decides on purchasing Campaign Manager Solutions™, we ask each potential candidate to complete a “Candidate Profile” to help us better understand and advise them during their candidacy. While most candidates, regardless of the office they’re running for or party affiliation, will be eligible for one of our programs, CampaignON does reserve the right to decline a candidate’s application upon careful review. We will never represent two candidates in the same race in either a primary (by party affiliation) or general election!
During the course of my campaign how available will your team of experts be to my staff and/or volunteers?
Whether you need support on the organization, strategy, marketing, technical issues, or any other question or assistance that arises in the normal execution of a campaign, our team will be available 24/7. Sometimes we’ll answer your questions individually. And, in some circumstances, we might meet as a team to deliver the best possible solutions and advice. Our promise to our clients is to always respond within a 24 hour period, unless there is the need for an immediate response.
Are there any hidden fees with the purchase of Campaign Manager Solutions™?
Absolutely not! What you see is what you get! You will be able to budget for expenses knowing our fees are a fixed cost. Everything listed under our package programs are included with your purchase. Any additional costs to your campaign will be at your discretion. Examples of those costs could include purchasing collateral materials (at a reduced price) on our Public Eye™ Branding Store, contracting for additional public relation services with CampaignON/Weiss PR, or creating high-exposure branding videos with our communications partner, MessageWorx.
What if I’m not computer savvy, will my campaign be able to utilize the software applications provided by CampaignOn?
While we do recommend that someone among your team of campaign volunteers have some degree of computer experience and know-how, our software applications are designed exclusively to be user-friendly. Anyone with some basic knowledge of computers will be able to maximize all the tools found within your CampaignON software package(s). And, we have a support staff ready and willing to help and support your campaign, whenever necessary.
