Best Practices for Effective Street Campaigning
Some advice on campaigning and recruiting new members. The bedrock of campaigning is the old- fashioned but tried and tested method of having a street stall. If you are interested in undertaking a street stall you need some support and help. The most important element to a successful street stall is making it interesting? You will need:
- Make your stall interesting: You will need a focus to your stall. This doesn’t necessarily have to be a table (though they work really well on broad streets or large squares). You could use flags which are very eye-catching.
- Use placards: Placards are great advertisement for the Campaign for an English Parliament, they look good in pictures, and give people who are passing by the stall an idea of what you are campaigning about. Even if they don’t stop and talk, they will remember that you were there.
- Make sure you are prepared to sign people up: You can’t go wrong with clipboards, membership forms and a pen, but new technology such as a mobile telephone or Ipad means we can record more email addresses. It will also mean that you don’t need to worry about typing them all in after a success day campaigning and recruiting.
- Something to hand out: This will usually be leaflets but not always. We are always on hand to help write them! If you are collecting signatures for one of our campaigns then it is always good to have something about the Campiagn for an English Parliament on hand. The information should have our website details on it so that when they can go home and look you up our website and become followers.
- Take photographs of your activity: ( Most mobile have a camera facility on them). Taking as many pictures will enable many more people to see that you have been active for the Campaign for an English Parliament.
We hope the above information has helped and we realise that is are plenty more ideas. If you need any help from the Campaign for an English Parliament please get in touch with our office.
