It’s the Political Season – Three Political Marketing Strategies: Using IP Targeted Digital Advertising

Political Canvassing: Adding One More Touchpoint

Canvassing is still one of the most effective ways to engage with voters. When collecting voter information, garnering the addresses of your supporters not only creates a great voter database for direct mail campaigns, but an outstanding database for digital political marketing strategies!  With El Toro’s patented IP targeting algorithm, those homes’ IP addresses can be targeted to display digital banner and video advertisements directly to the voters in the home. With this technology, you now have another medium for you to connect with that voter after the initial canvassing conversation.

What’s more, if a door goes unanswered and a canvasser is unable to have a conversation, El Toro’s IP targeting is able to cut through and display ads inside that home, acting as a digital backup for your canvassing initiative.

Get Out the Vote: Increase Voter Turnout

We all know the importance of voter turnout. Get out the vote (GOTV) campaigns in a digital space are a great way to engage with your voters and also promote civic duty. Many GOTV efforts effectiveness is diluted by the amount of wasted resources, such as time or imprecise targeting. Adding hyper-accurate media like IP targeting to digital political marketing strategies can ensure that you’ll reach the specific households you know will support your campaign.

Create Potential Voters Seen At Specific Locations

A great political marketing strategy tool introduced this past year is geo-framing, also known as Venue Replay. With this tool, your campaign can select specific locations that saw foot traffic of high value voters anytime within the past 6 months. For example, marches, conventions, or maybe grassroots events organized by your supporters. With the location in mind and the date of the event, your campaign can grab the device IDs that were present at that location. From there, El Toro’s system maps those devices back to the device’s home physical address where IP targeting can then be implemented. This game-changing technology could be huge for any campaign in 2018, as we all know the political climate in the United States has galvanized Americans and prompted groups to get out and make their voice heard.
