EVERY CANDIDATE SHOULD WEAR… A NAME BADGE
You are knocking on doors and shaking hands, and most of the people you meet have never seen you before. They will not remember your name unless they see it. A simple name badge does that work for you at every door.
WHY IT MATTERS
- Voters need to know your name. They have to find it on the ballot. The more often they see it, the more familiar it becomes.
- It tells residents who is at the door. A stranger on the porch with a badge is a candidate. A stranger without one is just a stranger.
- It is gentle. A badge is less “in your face” than a shirt with your name on it. It is a quieter way of making your name known to the people you meet.
- It goes everywhere you go. Door knocking, forums, debates, community events, the grocery store.
- Keep it simple. Your name, big and easy to read, with your candidacy underneath. Nothing more.
