Grass Roots Campaigns - Management

Contacts:

Cliff Schroeder (804) 697-2052

Spotts Fain Consultants have experience managing some of the most hard fought grass roots oriented issues campaigns and political general election campaigns in Virginia. Our strategies allow us to use a combination of approaches to ensure that your issue maximizes support by having local citizens show up in support of local zoning ordinance hearings or have them call a swing-vote legislator the morning of an important committee meeting.

Our services include:

Mass Contacts: Spotts Fain Consulting has the ability to use strategic mass mailings, telephone calls and e-mails to a specific target audience. We have the ability to act and react to important events at the most opportune time. Contacts from private citizens can be the most influential factor in a decision makers mind before making a vote on your issue. Spotts Fain Consultants can tailor your message to motivate private citizens on your behalf by using multiple methods of communication at the most effective moment.

Key Contacts: When a wavering governor, legislator or local official receives a call or e-mail from a single important constituent or from five hundred constituents on your issue it is guaranteed to make an impression. We have the ability to place special calls to undecided elected officials and can also blanket them with contacts from their constituents supportive of your particular issue.

Coalition Organization: Spotts Fain Consulting has unique experience helping to create some of the largest coalitions in recent Virginia history. Our skills can be put to use for you, whether it is establishing a small scale community coalition or a state wide coalition of major associations.

Meeting Coordination: When your issue is up before committee coordination of information, outside resources, attendees and their roles, speakers and what they will say is critical. Spotts Fain Consulting has experience planning and coordinating meeting presentations before local zoning boards, up to complicated hearing before the United States Congress.
