<p>Patrick,</p>
<p>Assuming that such a campaign is not already under way, I would second that motion.</p>
<p>As to your questions about facebook ads and URL tracking, I do not know yet.</p>

<div dir="ltr">I have two questions and a motion. I begin with the questions:
<div> </div>
<div>1. What are we currently doing in terms of facebook ads?</div>
<div>2. Do we have a url tracker on our membership sign up page?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In NJ we have been running targeted ads directing people to our membership page. This has been very successful. Our membership has grown 78% this year as of September 1st. (Although I don't have a url tracker so I can't quantify to what extent this growth was organic.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I asked Robert Kraus and Lauren Daugherty about our national social media advertising and they were unable to provide any details. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>A successful social media advertising strategy is critical to taking our Party into the future. As we move into the climax of the election season this is especially important.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the absence of details about our current situation I make the following motion:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I move we allocate $1,000 for a targeted facebook ad to run October 4th to November 4th. The ad is to be targeted to Gary Johnson supporters and other Libertarian keywords. It will take the form of a "website promotion" directing people to our membership sign up page. I suggest the following headline:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Love Liberty? Tired of politics as usual? Join the Libertarian Party today!"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For context a similar ad run by the NJLP had the following results:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Budget: $229</div>
<div>Reach: 31,985</div>
<div>Link Clicks: 397</div>
<div>Cost per click: $0.58</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The goals of the campaign are:</div>
<div>1. Grow membership</div>
<div>2. Raise the profile of the LP during election season</div>
<div>3. Help develop best practices for future advertising campaigns</div>
<div>4. Invite people who "like" the promotion to join the national facebook page</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will volunteer to personally handle all the details of setting up and managing this campaign.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Who is willing to cosponsor this motion?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
