AmeriCan GOTV Enterprises, LLC, a political campaign management consulting firm located in North Carolina and Jester Communications, LLC, a mobile application development company located in Bluffton, South Carolina have executed a joint venture agreement to produce and market STUMPMATE Mobile Applications, a platform specifically built to enable politicians and political organizations to communicate via smartphones and tablets. Product information can be found at www.Stumpmate.com.
Art Murray of AmeriCan GOTV Enterprises explained, “Political campaigns and organizations must adopt a mobilization strategy in order to deliver their message successfully. Not only is the PC based web site losing its market share, recent reports indicate that more than 30% of homes have gone mobile and as many as 50% no longer have a land line. Additionally, over 31% of US homes no longer watch TV in the traditional sense .” “Political organizations must adapt and deliver their message to this ‘silent majority’ that pays sole attention to mobile devices all day, every day,” Murray added.
Jared Jester of Jester Communications agreed, “It is expected, that the 300 million smartphones and tablets in use today, will balloon to over 1 billion devices by the end of 2014. As personal computer use drops, mobile device use increases exponentially.” In addition, “This joint venture between political and mobile has a growth potential beyond anything that political messaging has seen in the past,” said Jester.
Murray continued, “Candidates, elected officials, Political Parties and organizations can now use our mobile application to communicate their message and receive voter feedback. Our unique application set up process can have an organization online in as little as 24 hours.”
Additional reasons to motivate campaign mobilization as the only way of the future, currently:
- 50% of the Facebook faithful access it through their smartphone
- 67% of the time spent on smartphones is devoted to the use of mobile applications
- 65% of the Hispanic population have smartphones and use them rather than a computer
- 60% of mothers are (now) smartphone users.
