"Mobilize rocks"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Mobilize?

The ease of use from both the back-end and front-end. I love the "bring a friend" prompt and the reminders that automatically go out via text and email. Also, when someone registers, they are given the other events to register. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mobilize?

Not able to customize the Thank you email. and add in the donate feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mobilize:

Think outside the box as there are many ways to utilize Mobilize for your events. You can pretty much create anything into an event. Mobilize was instrumental with helping us convert our in-person events to a virtual experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mobilize solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are recruiting participants to our events from all over the country that we would never be able to reach. Spreading more awareness has been really great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mobilize can send TOO many notices of an upcoming event- convoluting important messages needing to be sent by admins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes mobilize sends too many reminder emails for an event, which means important emails from an admin to those joining gets lost in the shuffle or not opened Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic platform for organizing and event follow through"

5/5

What do you like best about Mobilize?

The integration with vote builder/NGPvan. Since implementing mobilize we have seen an increase in overall engagement with our events. Mobilize has worked seamlessly with our other tools specifically DNC vote builder. When a volunteer registers for an event it is automatically logged by the API in their vote builder profile. Allowing us to see what democratic voters are the most engaged and which ones attend our events and those events specifically. The automated text reminder for upcoming events has significantly increased engagement since people get a reminder text automatically before the event is going to take place. By reminding volunteers beforehand we have seen better follow through and a lower flake rate overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mobilize?

Doesn't integrate with Facebook events, so you have to input that info twice. It's frustrating that Facebook doesn't automatically link with mobilize, so the work has to be done more than once. For example engagement significantly decreases since most volunteers only click attend on the Facebook event and never RSVP to the mobilize event also. It would be far easier if there was a Facebook API that directly linked Facebook events to the mobilize platform. This automated feature would significantly increase overall follow through regarding event attendence. This integration would significantly reduce our flake rate. An email RSVP integration for common CRMs like MailChimp would also significantly increase engagement overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mobilize:

Definitely use mobilize to increase your event engagement rates and volunteer follow through. You will likely see a 30% decrease in overall flake rate when switching to mobilize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mobilize solving and how is that benefiting you?

Increasing event engagement and follow through. Tracking volunteer engagement and overall follow through. The automated feature that texts users before an event has significantly decreased our flake rate. During COVID 19 we have switched to using mobilize for our virtual zoom meetings in order to increase engagement for our virtual events.

Since implementation our engagement for our virtual events has doubled. The most difficult problem any Political organization will have is volunteer follow through. By reminding volunteers of upcoming events we are able to grantee a larger number of our overall volunteer base stays engaged by taking part in events consistently.

"Excellent Tool for Plugging Volunteers Into Campaigns"

5/5

What do you like best about Mobilize?

As the founder of a non-profit political activist group with members across the country, this tool is an excellent way for streamling campaign volunteer opportunities through our page as if we are hosting them, but actually plugging our existing members into campaign opportunities across the nation with the actual campaigns themselves.

This helps us to effectively channel our volunteers into opportunities where they can be useful. This tool allows me to pick which campaigns and candidates we stream to ensure they are in keeping with our organization's ideological and political objectives. The interface is easy to use and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mobilize?

Picking the campaign opportunites to stream through our page can be slow and cumbersome. There are so many that it takes quite a while to load and pick which ones to stream. This could be faster and would make this tool perfect. Also, it's not clear if all campaigns use this tool so there does leave a feeling that we are missing some opportunities if they aren't plugged in through Mobilize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mobilize:

Set up administrators from your organization to help you manage the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mobilize solving and how is that benefiting you?

Plugging volunteers into campaigns. The benefit is that we are able to find what campaign opportunities exist and sometimes we don't even realize. This is much easier than trying to reach out to individual campaigns and ask if they are looking for volunteers. It gives you access to the campaigns themselves.

"Mobilize - Best Event Platform to Come Across"

5/5

What do you like best about Mobilize?

I love the SMS/Email reminder feature! I have used a variety of sign-up platforms and this proves to be the strongest yet. It's layout for a volunteer is super simple, encourages multiple sign-ups, and the reminder feature takes time off of my and my teams hands! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mobilize?

The primary things that I dislike about mobilize is it's connectivity with VAN and how to schedule in dates and times. VAN - wish you could designate if there are attendees/volunteers/ etc on mobilize while setting up because changes can't be made in VAN once made. For scheduling dates and times - I'd like to have an option where I can select multiple days and times so that I dont have to do a constant back and forth of adding times. It makes it more time consuming + allows for more human error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mobilize:

Take time to better understand the platform and how you can utilize it in your work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mobilize solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mobilize has made it easier to relay event information for my region team's events and other regions - it allows our volunteers and attendees to get more involved across the state - especially during this digital era.

The benefits is that we also have contact information localized in one sign up and with being able to contact vols/attendees through mobilize increases the efficiency of our work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
