Mobile Solutions
Campaign staff and grassroots volunteers use FTIN
supplied Smartphone's (or their own) to travel to homes
and speak with voters. Users can search through street names, access a list of
voters on those streets, find their address, and visit
their homes using integrated turn-by-turn directions.
Users see the voters that have been assigned to them with information such as the voters age, party, and propensity to vote.
Once a user is speaking with an individual or family, all interview/polling
information is quickly stored in the Smartphone, which is
stored simultaneously on our Internet servers. This information can be dissected
immediately and reacted on while it is fresh.
During Election Day, campaign workers at the polls simply
press the Space key on their Smartphone's to mark off individuals
as they come to vote. This information is updated in real-time
to our Internet servers and can be accessed by the users on the street
allowing them to visit only the voters's homes who have not yet voted with the
intent of persuading them to go vote.
FTIN also offers
pre-paid mobile phones with the benefit of pooled minutes and no
long term contracts. With pooled minutes campaigns never
have to worry about individual users racking up expensive overage
charges because a usage plan was too small. Pooled minutes are also
carried over from month to month until the end of the contract
period which also minimizes the waste of unused minutes. In
addition, Email and SMS alerts can be periodically sent to notify
the campaign of remaining minutes allowing plenty of time for
replenishment. |
