The primary problem that ActBlue solves for us is creating an interface for online contributions. We don’t have the size of an organization where we could design something this well. It also has very good contribution location tools as well as good data visualization, although we don’t use it as much because it doesn’t include all our contributions
  • user interface
  • data visualization
  • contribution search
  • i want to add checks to it
  • website is down from time to time
  • in sight graphic design
i think it’s good for any democrat campaign. I honestly can’t think of a reason that a campaign would try to make its own version of this software rather than ActBlue. There’s so much customization and adaptability where it just makes sense. I’m not sure if PACs use it but because they’re so check heavy maybe it makes less sense for them

  • increased contributions
  • increased flexibility
  • more data understanding
It has a very intuitive user interface. When i am trying to make an event, it lays out in all the editing tabs exactly what i need to make it look good and does so much for me on the back end. I will say that soemtimes the more complicated stuff is tougher to understand right away
