Blue Swarm launches Facebook Donation Application
Filed under: News, Red Alert Dossier
Well, it’s the tool we’ve all been waiting for. A way to process transactions without ever having to leave Facebook. With Facebook being the largest and most active of social networks it was only a matter of time before this came around, but now we have this great tool offered to Blue Swarm clients. I’ve gone ahead and recorded a screen cast on setting it up. Sorry, it’s not very formal, I just threw it together so we could start using it in one of our client’s campaigns which you’ll also notice. Nonetheless, you’ll see it’s still a great tool that you can leverage to maximize the donation potential of each and every fan and friend on Facebook. The great thing about it that I immediately fell in love with is the fact that ANYONE can add a DONATION tab to their personal Facebook page. That’s right! You can literally have hundreds and thousands of Facebook users raising money for you with little to no effort on their part. Watch the screen casting below and hopefully you can get started as soon as possible on this innovative tool.

Blue Swarm Product Tour
Online fund raising is something on the “top of mind” of every incumbent, candidate, or the woman considering that run for Congress. In our experience, we’ve never seen anything so smooth and advanced as the platform called Blue Swarm. In this brief product tour, CEO and Founder of Blue Swarm, Erik Nilsson provides us a brief product tour. As we continue to build out content, we’ll provide case studies on politicos that have deployed Blue Swarm in their campaigns. We can’t wait to see the results.
Oh, and something that isn’t mentioned in the video: You don’t need a certain type of website (or one from Blue Swarm) to use this tool! In fact, they offer a simple text widget that allows the campaign to simply “plugin” the fund raising module anywhere on any site. Nifty? We think so. Take a peek.
If you’re not already an ORS subscriber, you can take the plunge, surf our site a bit more, or sign up for our special report.

Online Campaign Fundraising chat with Blue Swarm Founder and CEO Erik Nilsson
I had a great chat the other day with the Founder and CEO of Online Campaign Finance Leader – Blue Swarm Mr. Erik Nilsson. Erik and I dissected his solution and brought up the key differentiators between Blue Swarm and the competition. I know I’d feel pretty good having the same powerful fund raising infrastructure as Mitt Romney…wouldn’t you?
With the use of a small widget anyone can install the power of Blue Swarm on their website too so the barriers to entry and almost non-existent. And the price? You won’t believe how Blue Swarm’s pricing model will support your run for City Council just as powerfully as your run for a Senate seat. Seriously…this is powerful campaign fund raising solution and it’s yours for the taking.
Online fund raising is just one key component of the comprehensive online campaign strategy that you must have to win. We hope you’ll join us.
