Politics: The Untapped Niche
August 13th, 2008 | Posted in Clients, General Stuff.
It’s getting close to local elections here in my area, mainly because there are many political ads flooding the local newspaper each slandering the candidate’s opponent. These ads in my area run for $500 per week. With that kind of advertising budget, why aren’t you cashing in on these local politicians?
It’s no surprise that a voter will visit a candidate’s website to find more information. The voter needs to be informed on the issues and the solutions that each candidate is providing. So by having a website, the candidate can have the key advantage of providing information to their respective voters. It even allows them to accept donations easier, from there website.
Going back to how Barack Obama utilized web 2.0 to fund his presidential campaign makes it almost certain that many other politicians will soon follow this strategy. A visually appealing website that is user-friendly and provides easy to read information is what these campaigners need. Why not get started?

Thats the key. Most political or government website (either side of the Atlantic) are inherently boring! Most of the time you simply cannot find what you are looking for or simply fall asleep trying!
I’m surprised there isn’t a WordPress plugin or even a Politicians Theme available!

@Andy – That’s why it is a great niche to get into. Government website budgets are big as well.
