HOST A HOUSE PARTY

 

 

Host a House party for the UDC for the Election Campaign . It is a good way to engage with the community 

 

1. What is a house party?

 

House parties are informal fundraisers organized by supporters of the UDC. We have a goal of generating

a minimum of P1,000 at each house party through a pitch for support made by the party's host.

2. Why throw a house party?

 

1. To raise support for the Duma Boko and UDC Campaign and Operations

 

2. To help UDC reach out to the public who care about job creation, elimination of corruption, removal of poverty elimination and reduction of crime.

 

3. To participate in the Duma Boko 2019 and UDC Campaigns

 

4. To have fun and meet other like minded people. 

3. Steps to a House Party

 

1. Pick a date

Do:

​

  • Use your house parties as a means of voter contact (Hi, I'm [Thapelo] with the  UDC campaign. We wanted to invite you to our house party on the ...day of ..... , 2019 .    ........is the right candidate because ........).

  • Make phone calls to voters in advance to invite them to your house party

  • Make sure you have the contact information for anyone that attends one of your house parties

  • Host multiple house parties throughout the course of the campaign, again with the goal of using the inviting process as a way of doing persuasion

  • Define a fundraising goal, if fundraising is part of the goal for the party. If fundraising is not a part of the goal, then make sure that's clear to the entire team in advance

  • Send out a postcard or a letter inviting people to your house party

  • Knock on doors and invite people to the house party

  • Use Whatsapp/other SMS tools to text people on your list and invite them individually

  • Put a volunteer in charge of the house party and put a volunteer in charge of the voter contact around the house party (ideally they would be 2 different people)

  • Promote your house party across your social media channels

  • Take photos of your house party that you can put on the campaign's Facebook and Twitter

Don't:
​

  • Spend a ton of money on a house party; water, coffee, some biscuits are fine

  • Worry if people don't come. The goal is to use the party as a way to let voters know you are working in the community and care about their needs

  • Expect an overwhelming number of people at your house party. The main goal is being able to do phone calls and voter contact before the party

  • Think of house parties as only fundraising events. They should largely be thought of as voter contact events, but feel free to include a fundraising ask at the party


​

So now that you have hosted your house party, don't forget to follow up with the attendees, take photos, and send out posts on social media. You could even create a custom Facebook audience to send ads to that invite others to your next party, if you have an additional budget.
