Why Zimmer Marketing?

Getting your campaign’s message out can be difficult in this noisy and busy world. That’s why Zimmer Marketing is such a great choice to partner with your political campaign. We not only own six radio stations in the four-states, but we are a full-fledged marketing company. Radio on its own reaches 90% of voters and costs a fraction of TV advertising. But more than that, Zimmer Marketing integrates radio and digital media, in order to reinforce your consistent messaging to the voters. So, whether your campaign needs 30-second radio spots, or a full campaign website, Zimmer Marketing reaches voters with your message.  
 

Own the ears in the Joplin area and speak to our 400,000 monthly listeners.

Traditional terrestrial (AM/FM) radio and its accompanying digital streams reach almost the entire U.S. adult population. Digital radio formats are also gaining popularity. In 2019, over 60% of American adults listened to online radio every week. This means that the majority of the voters you are trying to reach can be found listening to radio. 
Joe Biden managed to win Texas utilizing the medium and didn’t stop there. Between June 1 and July 31, Biden aired 7,599 radio spots, which is much more than any other campaign in the 2020 Democratic Primary. 
For example, during the 2020 Democratic primaries, Michael Bloomberg didn’t pay too much attention to radio ads with his billions of dollars spent. Meanwhile, Joe Biden managed to win Texas utilizing the medium and didn’t stop there. Between June 1 and July 31, Biden aired 7,599 radio spots, which is much more than any other campaign in the 2020 Democratic Primary. 
 
Right now is the perfect time for your candidate to take full advantage of this medium to reach 90% of voters while TV channels are losing their audiences. In addition to reach, radio advertising allows you to diversify your campaign and reach more voters without upping your political spend. Here’s how to utilize radio in your political campaign.
 

Zimmer builds campaign websites.

Effective campaigns have websites, and good ones at that. When a potential voter navigates to your website the first time, what will they see? You can bet that a voter who opens a slow and outdated page won’t stick around long enough to learn what you stand for. With a fast, modern campaign website from Zimmer Marketing, you can be sure that those voters will be greeted with a visually-appealing, message-centric site. 
 
What makes websites built by Zimmer Marketing different? For starters, each website is 100% original. We build our websites on WordPress from the ground up. Our designers don’t use templates which make you look like everyone else. Your new campaign website will be uniquely your own. 
 
Zimmer Marketing also hosts websites on our own private, state-of-the-art server. It’s reliable and fast. When someone comes to learn about your campaign, they’ll be looking at your new website as soon as they click the link. Hosting websites in-house also provides an added layer of security. There are no opportunities for third parties to compromise your campaign website.  
 

Zimmer can be the strategic resource for your campaign with message development and overall content development.

SEO Development for Campaigns

When a potential voter searches for the office you’re running for, is it your website that comes up first, or another candidate’s website. What about an important issue you're running on? The answer should be your website. It’s important to be number one when it comes to the Google search results page. In fact, if your website shows up below the top three results on Google, your website might never even be opened by a searcher. At Zimmer Marketing, our web development team can make sure your website is number one. We will ensure that your campaign website is search engine optimized.
