How to Sway Voters with SMS Campaigns in 2022 & Beyond

There’s probably no better case for “local” messaging than running for political office, but the questions are endless. “How do I register without an EIN?” “Do I qualify as a sole proprietor?” “What is Campaign Verify?” “Should I be a 527, a 501(c), or get a CV token – or all of the above?” “What will my throughput look like?” Even seasoned messaging platform providers are a little dazed and confused!

Spam is bad and we’re glad they’re putting some controls in place, but everyone who sends local long code (10DLC) campaigns knows they’ve gotten a little complicated – and political campaigns are the toughest!
