Campaigning is the Most and most important activity of Political Marketing

To neutralize the attacks and respond to the changing dynamics of political campaigns, a candidate must develop a forward-looking strategy; one that is attuned specifically to the realties of your race. Now a days, both primary and general election phases must have measurable metrics clearly laid out and easily executable to guide every aspect of the campaign operations. At the heart of the campaign operations is the need for a cohesive, fully integrated communications strategy.

Campaigning near a polling place is a tricky endeavor that should be thoroughly researched before you try. While everyone has the right of free speech, one also has the right to cast a vote without harassment. All fifty states have some form of law in place regarding this issue, so check yours thoroughly before moving on.


We must follow and respect law while implementing campaign. Place campaign yard signs in prominent locations, making sure they are not within the restricted distance from the closes polling place; this is typically 100 feet. If they are too close, you will be guilty of electioneering. Insert the yard signs to maximize viewing potential from vehicles as well as foot traffic. Check to see if larger signs can be installed at high traffic corners, as some states do make provisions for this. Verify that your signs are placed exactly as described in the laws and ordinances of the area. Contact an election official if you are unsure.
Civic Gathering Gather a group of like minded individuals. Dress each person in a t-shirt advertising your candidate of choice.
Locate your group at least 100 feet from a polling place. Allow your clothing to do the campaigning for you. Make sure no one engages any potential voters in conversation. Be sure all walkways, paths and driveways are open and not restricted in any way by anyone in the group.Any signs you place illegally will make you guilty of electioneering.

Most of the tasks are now handled by paid professionals rather than by volunteers or amateurs. Most candidates will hire a political consultant, a person whose job it is to devise an effective campaign strategy, plan for any media appearances by the candidate, train the candidate for debates and speaking engagements, and generally help to build the overall image of the candidate.

Sometimes the campaign will also conduct “opposition research” in order to discover any information about an opposing candidate that may be unfavorable to that candidate’s image among undecided voters. This often results in a barrage of negative campaign advertisements in the last two or three weeks before Election Day. Although many people complain about such ads, research by political scientists has shown that these ads can often be quite effective if they are properly timed and at least somewhat based on actual facts.

We then identify the local, state and national media vehicles best positioned for distributing the message. The next step involves writing, designing, shooting animation and producing the best pieces to increase your candidate’s name recognition and issue positions, while defining the opposition’s platform and fending off negative attacks.
