WriteToThem
The world’s most effective way of putting citizens in touch with their representatives
Benefits
- Proven track record of attracting high numbers of people who've never
contacted their representatives before for any reason.
- Identify representatives using nothing more than a postcode.
- Users are given the chance to contact any of their representatives, whether councillors, MPs, MEPs, MSPs or other assembly members.
- Helps to direct correspondence to the right tier of government, lowering amount of correspondence sent wrongly to councils.
- Sophisticated anti-abuse measures.
- Can be branded and integrated on any local council website.
How does it work?
WriteToThem.com is the award winning successor to FaxYourMP.com. It is the
only place in the UK at which a UK citizen can identify out and contact any of
their elected representatives, no matter whether local councillors or MEPs, or
anything in between.
Already linked to by dozens of local authorities around the UK mySociety is
now starting to offer branded, integrated version (like the one above) to run
within local authority websites.
What do you get?
- Your logo and colours.
We customise WriteToThem to have your organisation's branding. This can be
anything from a simple coat of paint with your logo in the corner, to a
complete design looking seemlessly like part of your website.
- Letter-writing tips.
On your cobranded site, you can display text reminding your supporters
of points they might want to make in their letter. This appears just
above their letter while they are writing it. You can change this text
according to the campaign you are running.
- Return to your site afterwards.
When your supporter confirms their message, they are redirected to a
confirmation page on your site. This gives you the chance to suggest
follow up actions. It also lets you track how many people completed
their message.
- Campaign coding.
Have multiple campaigns and keep track of them. You can invent as many
"campaign codes" as you like. For each one, change both the letter writing
tips, and the address on the site your support returns to after writing
their letter.
- Tracking success.
We generate a report for you of how many messages are sent via your
cobranded site each day. This includes breakdown of type of representative
- whether MP, MEP, Councillor etc. For all messages sent through WriteToThem
we monitor whether the constituent got a response within 2 to 3 weeks. We
also provide this information for your campaign.
