Messaging Mania: Why Now’s the Perfect Time to Send That Text!
September 26, 2024
As Election Day approaches, every moment counts, and staying connected with your supporters is more critical than ever. Are you using Nucleus Text or P2P Messaging to ensure that instant, personalized communication drives your campaign forward?
Imagine this: It's the night before the election, and you're able to instantly rally your base with a targeted message reminding them to vote. With Nucleus, that's not just possible—it's easy. Our Nucleus Text feature lets you send out quick, personalized updates, ensuring your supporters know where to go, what to bring, and why their vote matters.
For a more personal touch, our P2P Messaging tool allows you to engage in one-on-one conversations at scale. Think about the impact of a direct message from a volunteer, asking a voter if they need help getting to the polls or answering any last-minute questions. This kind of outreach can be the difference between a vote cast or a vote missed!
Beyond Election Day…
But it doesn't stop there. Nucleus messaging integrates seamlessly with your broader campaign efforts. If you're hosting a last-minute rally, use our messaging tools to send out an invite, then track who opens the message and who clicks to RSVP. Need to share crucial updates from the campaign trail? A quick text or P2P message ensures your supporters are always in the loop, no matter where they are.
And as your messages go out, you'll have real-time analytics at your fingertips. See how many people received your message, who engaged, and who might need a follow-up—all in one place, without missing a beat.
As you gear up for the final push, make sure you're equipped with the tools that can make the difference. Log in to your Nucleus account today and start using our messaging features, or reach out to our team for more personalized guidance.
Why Messaging?
Well, besides the fact that everyone has a phone attached to them these days, texts also benefit that other messaging like emails can't give you. Some advantages include:
Higher Open Rates: Text messages generally have much higher open rates compared to emails. Many people read texts almost immediately after receiving them.
Immediate Delivery: SMS messages are delivered instantly, making them ideal for time-sensitive information or urgent updates.
Personalization: Texts can feel more personal and direct, which can enhance engagement and make your messages feel more immediate and relevant.
Conciseness: Text messages force you to be brief and to the point, which can be effective for quick, clear communication.
Better Reach: Text messages can reach people who may not check their email frequently or who have limited internet access but always carry their phones.
Higher Engagement: Due to the personal nature of text messaging, recipients are more likely to respond or take action quickly.
No Spam Filters: Text messages don't get caught in spam filters like emails can, ensuring your message gets through.
Convenience: For quick updates or reminders, texts can be more convenient and accessible than email, especially on the go.
However, it's important to note that text campaigns also have limitations, such as character limits and potential costs per message. Balancing text and email campaigns can often be the best approach, leveraging each of their strengths.
Try these text campaign ideas!
- Voter Reminders
Send out last-minute reminders to your supporters about important voting deadlines, like early voting dates or Election Day itself. Include personalized information, such as polling locations or voting hours, based on their registered address.
- Event Invitations
Quickly notify your supporters about campaign events, rallies, or virtual town halls. Include a link to RSVP directly within the text, and follow up with a reminder on the day of the event.
- Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) Campaigns
Launch a text campaign to encourage voter turnout. Send personalized messages asking if they need a ride to the polls, reminding them to bring the necessary ID, or simply urging them to get out and vote.
- Fundraising Appeals
Use text messaging to send urgent fundraising appeals. A quick, compelling message with a direct link to donate can significantly boost contributions, especially during crucial campaign moments.
- Poll Watcher Coordination
Coordinate your poll watchers or volunteers with real-time updates and instructions. This is especially useful on Election Day, where rapid communication is essential.
- Issue Awareness
Educate your supporters on key issues and your stance on them. Short, informative texts can help clarify your position and mobilize your base on important topics.
- Thank You Messages
After an event, donation, or volunteer effort, send a quick thank-you text to show appreciation. Personalized gratitude can strengthen supporter loyalty and encourage future engagement.
- Surveys and Feedback
Engage your audience by sending out quick surveys or asking for feedback via text. Use this data to fine-tune your campaign strategy or understand voter concerns better.
- Crisis Communication
If there's an unexpected change in the campaign (like a venue change or emergency), a text message is the fastest way to reach your audience and keep them informed.
- Election Results Updates
Keep your supporters in the loop on Election Night with live updates as results come in. Share the excitement and keep them engaged as the outcome unfolds.

HTML
HTML: Everyone’s favorite universal language
February 1, 2024
HTML, everyone’s favorite universal language
By Julia, Deliverability Expert
The absolute coolest thing, among many other impressive things, about HTML coding is that it is almost a completely universal language. This means it can be understood by anyone who comprehends the code, regardless of its origins.
In short, the coding will be compatible with any content platform, no matter where it comes from. And, yes, that does mean you can use any other HTML-coded documents from past-used systems in the Nucleus platform.
There is one catch, though… Many email marketing platforms find value in the use of variables to pull custom information within the HTML as it helps to reach people on a more individual level… without having to manually send thousands of customized emails. Examples of this custom data would be a recipient’s first name or email, and other bits of personal information.
In these cases, the variable codes may differ slightly between platforms. That simply means that it is important to find and replace any variables with the proper ones so they function properly.
For instance, on Nucleus, we use the following variables very frequently:
Variable |
Data pulled |
%recipient.first% |
Recipients first name |
%recipient.last% |
Recipients last name |
%recipient_email % |
Recipients email |
%current_date% |
Date of email sent |
%unsubscribe_url% |
Unsubscribe URL |
PROTIP: you can actually find these located at the bottom of our html-coding-email-builder function:

These are very incredible tools as they can be crucial to your marketing technique but it is important to always remember to use the codes that are compatible with your platform.
This prevents us from sending wonky subject lines like “Hello, %%FIRSTNAME%%!”
These variables are usually very similar to the ones you are using, so just locate and replace any that you found. Most platforms, like our own Nucleus, will not even let you send when there is an error in the variables or coding so hopefully you will not encounter this issue anytime soon…
For example, just for the first name variable, I’ve seen some of the following variable codes:
- %recipient.first%
- %%FIRSTNAME%%
- %NAME%
- {{RECIPIENT.FIRST}}
…and there are way more than that! Always be on the lookout!
