Political Party Fundraising Lunch and Dinner Events

Manage online ticket sales, seating plans, dietary requirements, door lists and guest email communications for an election campaign fundraising dinner or lunch events at private function venues or restaurants. Boost your fundraising drive by simply and easily supporting and promoting campaign donations by adding links to your Event Page.

Political Party Social Events

Smaller events in relaxed social settings provide key campaigning opportunities to allow candidates to meet the community, have conversations and communicate party policies and goals over a few drinks, few rounds of bowls, a BBQ or a trivia night. Despite being small, these events still require significant planning, event registration or ticketing management. A Trybooking account helps you simply manage political part social events from planning to delivery, reporting and post-event communications all in one place.

Door Knock Event Registrations

Door knocking is one of the most effective campaigning tactics - allowing people to encourage votes by speaking with community members face-to-face. As an in-person event, registration is essential – so easy online registration is a must. A TryBooking online registration page ensures volunteers can easily register their attendance in advance and gain access to all the information they need to take part on the day.

Online Events

Handle registrations for fun, relaxed online social events such as movie or music trivia nights with ease from anywhere with ease – while at the same time raising money for your election campaign. Sell tickets, promote online donations and manage attendance from your TryBooking account.

Sale of Campaign Merchandise

Official party merchandise is key in ensuring your campaigning efforts are appropriately branded and presented. Add Official party merchandise sales to any campaign event ticket sales or registration page to ensure volunteers and guests can easily purchase official party merchandise when they book tickets or register for an event.

Add Campaign Donation Drives to your Event Page

Boost your fundraising drive by simply and easily supporting and promoting campaign donations by adding a ‘Donate Now’ link to your Election campaign Event Page.
