A Friend Request You Can’t Refuse

by Kathy Northcutt

Posted on August 25, 2010

Are you anxious to get your issues before Congress? Is it stressful to know that you’re just one of many organizations trying to do the same thing? With an unprecedented number of groups advocating for so many issues, you need to catch the attention of elected officials by recruiting and mobilizing your supporters in effective, innovative ways.

Government relations professionals, meet your new best friend: the AdvocacyApp for Facebook.

The first of its kind, the AdvocacyApp for Facebook allows users to take action on your alerts without leaving Facebook, as well as virally share your action alerts with their friends and via Twitter.  Then you can track activity in detail and fully integrate your Facebook efforts into your overall advocacy program.

Launched earlier this year, the AdvocacyApp has helped clients benefit from Facebook’s growing million-plus users in the US and recruit more supporters to promote their issues.

Do you have a Facebook fan page? If not, it’s easy to set-up – we’d be happy to walk you through it.  A fan page is a great way to engage your supporters and keep them informed, but to have a real impact on your issues, you need to turn these fans into actual advocates who will take further action.

Chances are, you have untapped relationships right now that simply need to be nurtured in order for you to get closer to achieving your goals. The AdvocacyApp is just the friend for the job.

Don’t take our word for it – check it out for yourself.  For more information, contact learnmore@ddcadvocacy.com .
