Party Anyone?

One of the best ways to use the Internet is to post announcements about events and activities because it reaches so many instantly. A great idea when campaigning is to host a fundraising party with major donors. Everyone has a great time, they meet the candidate, have their photo taken and the press have something to cover. Most importantly, the candidate has a platform from which to communicate the issues they are campaigning on. After the event, post photos on the campaign website an allow users to purchase them directly (who doesn't want a picture with the governor?) Posting this online sends constituents back to the web where they will likely give again because they're riding high from the event. Parties are a fun way to rally everyone together and have a fun time doing it.

To bring your thoughts one step further...

It is crazy to think that in a matter of time, we will have online fundraisers where instead of meeting in person, full congregations of people can get together in a virtual setting and have similar interactions with candidates.

Though they may not be as personable, imagine going into a fundraiser like it is a video game!

It is only a matter of time...
