🏡 Lawn Signs with Qomon

Lawn signs are a key part of political campaigns, and Qomon makes managing them easy. Using a survey, advanced filters, or tasks, Qomon streamlines the process from request to removal.


📋 Use Case 1: Managing Lawn Sign Requests with a Detailed Survey

Qomon offers a detailed, structured approach to track your lawn sign lifecycle—from request to installation and removal.

Process:

  1. Capturing Sign Requests
    Volunteers use Qomon's mobile app to ask voters if they would like a lawn sign. A follow-up question (with conditional formatting) allows them to specify the size. After the sign is installed, another question tracks its status: "To install," "Sign installed," or "Sign removed."

  2. Tracking Installation Status
    Survey responses track each step of the sign's journey. Canvassers update the status live, so the campaign team always knows which signs need installation or removal.

  3. Organizing Installation Teams
    Using Qomon’s advanced filtering in the contact database, teams can identify all contacts with a "To install" status and create a new canvassing action for sign installation.

  4. Managing Removal
    Similarly, campaigns can filter contacts with "Sign installed" and assign volunteers to remove signs when needed, updating the status to "Sign removed."

Benefits

  • Real-time updates

  • Efficient organization of installation and removal teams

  • Clear lifecycle tracking of lawn signs 🔄


🔎 Use Case 2: Lawn Sign Management with One Survey Question and Action Filtering

For campaigns that prefer a more streamlined process, use just one survey question. Campaigns can manage lawn signs without extra steps or surveys, leveraging advanced filters and action-based tracking.

Process:

  1. Capturing Sign Requests with a Single Question
    Volunteers ask voters a simple survey question: "Would you like a lawn sign?" This reduces time spent during canvassing, while still capturing the key information.

  2. Organizing Sign Installation Using Advanced Filters
    Instead of multiple survey questions, the campaign team uses the advanced filter tool to find all contacts who said "Yes" to the lawn sign question and create a leafletting action directly from the filtered list.

  3. Tracking Removal by Action Name
    When it’s time to retrieve signs, the campaign can search for the specific action name used for installation. This lets them organize removal teams and track progress without needing further surveys.

Benefits

  • Streamlined canvassing 🏘️

  • Action-based management for both installation and removal 🚧

  • Efficient use of Qomon’s filtering tools 🧰


🖊️ Use Case 3: Lawn Sign Management with Tasks

For campaigns using Qomon’s task feature, lawn sign requests can be managed by adding follow-up tasks during canvassing, or just by editing a contact and adding the option in your database.

Process

  1. Configure Your Task
    First, go to your Space Settings and configure a task option for "Add a lawn sign." This ensures that the task is available for canvassers to select during their sessions.

  2. Creating a Task for Lawn Signs
    During a canvassing action, canvassers can add follow-up tasks for each contact. When a contact requests a lawn sign, the canvasser adds the "Add a lawn sign" task, ensuring the request is properly tracked in the system. Read this article for the mobile view during canvassing.

  3. Organizing Installation Using Task Filters
    Teams can then use Qomon’s advanced filters to search for all contacts with the "Add a lawn sign" task. From this filtered list, they can create a canvassing or leafletting action, assigning volunteers to complete the lawn sign requests.

  4. Tracking Removal
    When it's time to remove signs, the team can filter tasks or search by the related action name to organize removal teams efficiently.

Benefits

  • Task-based tracking integrated into the canvassing flow ✍️

  • Easy to configure and follow up on sign requests after canvassing ⚙️

  • Effective use of advanced filters to organize installation and removal teams 👊
