The Flood
Zowie. I got the online donation portion of our website up a couple of weeks back. Since then, donations have been dribbling in, much slower than other methods (mail, phone, in-person, etc). In the past 24 hours, however, there’s been an explosion of activity, both in volume of donors, and in the volume of money donated. At the same time, there was a similar spike in sign requests.
It’ll be interesting to do some analysis of website usage patterns. Is all this activity the result of our weekend canvassing? Or people reading flyers they’ve received over the past little while? Or do people queue up their political reading and research until weekends? Is this the result of increased outreach on our behalf? Or are people just getting around to it, now that there’s only a week to go?
