Barack Obama, Father and Affiliate Marketer

Long time reader, first time poster...

I had to share this. Yes this is a real media buy going on right now, I kid you not.

Looks like hes running a nice coreg path. I think his team could learn a little something from browsing around here.. countdown timer until the end of the world perhaps?

??? it looks like a simple email submit which then goes to a form to accept donations... i dont see co-reg anywhere.. you see something different than what i got?

Sorry guys, coreg was probably the wrong term to use, but yeah email submit > donation page.. reminded me of a peerfly email submit or something though haha.

It looks like they are rotating a few different versions now, but the one that I saw was just grabbing mass emails - https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...77889234_n.jpg

I don't understand how this is a media buy or affiliate marketing.... is it going to an offer that someone is earning commission on? Probably not. More about PR than anything, and getting a list of Obama supporters for future campaigning.

Politicians always use some of the best techniques in advertising and build large lists and use robocalls etc...campaigns pay consultants big bucks to know what to do, because the stakes are too high not to.

You know what Karl Rove's first career was? Direct mail.

no outing campaigns!

I think I saw him testing another angle a few days ago, "win a dinner with barack obama" or something

The real question is what would convert better, Enter Your Email to Wish Barack Obama a Happy Fathers Day, or Enter Your Email To Win a New Macbook Pro.

Nice little squeeze page there, I'm sure he's banking off that list he is generating there. The political figures always have a lot of money.
