Closing Out 2011 – FLS Connect

FLS Connect has enjoyed a great year with great clients. Our clients have enjoyed using our multitude of services that in many ways work together to help project one powerful campaign message. We have demonstrated that we are a one stop shop. We are not your typical phone vendor and we plan on continuing to provide services that reach beyond what is the norm.

Data Connect – Data Connect is one of FLS Connects’ most powerful products. It is a strategic grassroots campaign tool that helps provide revolutionary data management and data enhancement capabilities for use in your grassroots or issue campaigns right from the start. With Data Connect, you’re able to access and update your data online from anywhere in the world. We’ll build you a customized data portal with your logo and from that point on, it is completely scalable for your needs; tag voters, append emails, create surveys and manage your voters.

“Data Connect was a one stop shop for managing our data. We could pull data directly from voter files or upload our own data. Our campaigns could add users and allow them access to vital data, as well. The ability to control our own data was huge. FLS has a great product here.” – Ryan Cudney, Executive Director of the Illinois Senate GOP

Townhall Connect – Our Townhall Connect platform is a live, interactive call allowing you to deliver your message to a mass audience, gather key information from critical voting blocks, while also giving you the opportunity to talk one-on-one with participants. Whether you’re dialing 100 or 1 Million people, Townhall Connect is the largest and most affordable virtual Town Hall product on the market.

“We were looking for an innovative way to interact with as many voters as possible and maximize the influence of our client’s campaign announcement. The Townhall Connect allowed us to connect with a broad portion of our intended audience and was a great way to kick-off the campaign. We will absolutely make this a regular part of our campaigns.” – Liz Kurantowicz, CAP Public Affairs

Geo Connect – Geo Connect is a door-to-door canvassing mobile application tool designed to maximize volunteer resources and increase overall efficiency. Geo Connect’s cutting-edge technology allows your army of volunteer’s access to canvassing targets directly on their iPhone, Android and Blackberry smart phones. Similar to our other software, Geo Connect is linked to Data Connect allowing for paperless data entry following each canvas.

“Geo Connect was so easy for our volunteers to use. They enjoyed not having to use paper sheets, pens, and clipboards. With their smart phone, they saw how quickly and easily households were updated in our digital walk books right from their own phone. Results were real time, allowing us to see the progress of each walk the same day, no matter where their location.” – Luke Marchant, 365 Strategies

Door to Door Walk Books – For a traditional campaign, our Door-to-Door Walk Books are designed to maximize volunteer resources and increase efficiency by helping your volunteers navigate your canvassing targets through closed-loop routing. Books post in PDF format, or are available in a printed book format for volunteers to easily record data.

“We were able to quickly setup and receive Map Books for our candidates using FLS Connect. The Map Books were distributed to the campaign and volunteers were then able to start knocking doors sooner than later. The closed loop directions were well received from the volunteers, as it was easy for them to stay on course. They recorded information in their booklets and the campaign got the walk results the same day as the walk.” – Justin Dudley, Vice President, Olsen + Company

Voter Contact Products – At FLS Connect, we specialize in creating cost-effective, customized voter and constituent contact programs. From start to finish, we partner with you providing data evaluation, customizing scripts, and sending you daily results. We accomplish this by using different product types such as Live ID, Live Advocacy, Patch Through calls, Survey Calls and Automated calls, all to best fit your campaign’s needs.

To demonstrate how phone calls should be a part of every campaign, we recently did a survey call targeting likely voters from a special election. For those that had received a Get-Out-The-Vote call, 62% actually voted, while of those that did not receive a call, 29% voted.

“The FLS team is made up of the most efficient, effective and dedicated staff out there. No one knows political data like the FLS team. FLS Connect is a total solutions firm that focuses on technology to transform your organization.” – Darren Bearson, Executive Director OH GOP

PS: Volunteer Connect – Volunteer Connect is a web-based software package that allows volunteers to make phone calls from home or your call center while providing you with real-time accountability and metrics. FLS Connect has tapped into our extensive experience contacting voters by telephone to create a software that will be both easy to use for your volunteers and complex enough to meet your needs for voter identification, get out the vote, advocacy, data capture and updates. The best part? Call results flow seamlessly between Data Connect and Volunteer Connect allowing for paperless data entry.

Also, thru the end of the year, we are hosting a Facebook promotion with your Townhall Connect events!
