MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Apr 09 (MARKET WIRE) --
Montreal-based company CakeMail Inc. has announced that its email
marketing platform cakemail.com has been chosen as a key component of the
grassroots movement An Obama Minute, a web-based fundraising tool which
seeks to mobilize Americans to contribute one million dollars in sixty
seconds to the Barack Obama campaign for the Democratic Party nomination.
CakeMail is a true white label on-demand email marketing platform that is
100% customizable, open and extendable by third parties.
"CakeMail has made it very easy for our grassroots movement to build the
An Obama Minute campaign quickly, efficiently and intuitively", states
Scott Cohen, creator of the An Obama Minute campaign. "It is allowing us
to create mailing lists, study email traffic and evaluate each step of
our strategy by providing us with a nice toolbox that is tailored to our
needs. In a lot of organisations, people are intimidated by technology,
terrified they just won't get it. They'll get CakeMail."
Through its participation in the An Obama Minute campaign, CakeMail is
contributing to an overall political strategy which, for the first time
in U.S. political history, has been heavily dependent upon online
mobilisation. Candidates vying for the 2008 presidential nomination have
embraced online tools such as blogs, social networks and email marketing.
Within the first 24 hours of its launch on Tuesday April 8th, the An
Obama Minute campaign generated over 4,200 page views and over 430 new
opt-in email addresses. With the official full website launch on
Thursday April 10th, participants will be encouraged to promote the
campaign within their existing network. All registrants having pledged
$100 will be called upon by email to make their donation through the
official Welcome to Obama for America campaign website at precisely 1pm
(ET) on April 21st 2008.
The An Obama Minute campaign is available online at www.AnObamaMinute.com.
