Running a successful government is hectic and it's also a lot of work. Automating many small tasks saves your staff hours of time each day. Automated messages enable you to connect with many more supporters and citizens than you ever thought possible. Let's look at some of the processes you can easily automate.
1. Easily collect data from citizens. Use online signup forms and surveys to automatically gain information. All data entered is collected so you can easily view reports and learn more. Use surveys to learn how citizens feel about specific issues, how many citizens take the bus, who attends public community events and so on.
2. Widen awareness about new laws and bylaws. In order to get the word out and educate people, spread your message far and wide on social media. Post automated updates over time to help citizens learn about the new laws so they will be aware. Posts and tweets are likely to be shared with additional people on social media. Keep messages short and to the point, and provide links that people can click to learn more.
3. Immediately communicate with citizens during an emergency situation. With an all in one automated communication solution, you can send messages to thousands of citizens in just minutes. Messages are sent at the same time through email, voicemail, text message and social media. This ensures that everyone gets the important message in time to be prepared.
4. Organize community events with ease and gain more attendees. Automated invitations and reminders make it so much easier to keep everyone on track. Rather than having your staff contact hundreds of people manually, it is done automatically in a fraction of the time. The automated solution also creates a landing page for you where guests can go to learn more information. You can even create simple tickets.
5. Provide immediate support to citizens with live chat. People inevitably have questions and feedback about municipal bylaws, transportation services, garbage collection, building permits and so on. Don't make your staff spend hours on the phone every day. Live online chat is a simple way to communicate with your citizens. You get notifications whenever a chat pops up and you can transfer chats between staff members.
6. Automatically manage your government social media pages. Social media is a great source of information and it is also highly interactive. People can comment, retweet and share content with a wider audience. By posting automatic updates, you can engage your community and provide continuous information. Yet it is simple and doesn't take up your staff's time.
These are just a few tasks that are made much simpler and more efficient with automation tools. Instead of ten staff members trying to manage your communication, one or two staff members can use the automated solution to successfully run complex campaigns and maintain consistent communication.
