The Marketing of the President

Political Marketing as Campaign Strategy

About this book

Professor Bruce I. Newman correctly points out that in this information age, a candidate and his staff can test a new issue or idea very quickly, and if it looks salable, arrange to have the candidate get it before the correct bloc of voters in a very short period of time. . . . Newman is also correct in noting that the political party, as an institution, is no longer as dominant in elections. . . . Political junkies will love this material. --Conservative Review The Marketing of the President documents how political candidates are marketed by the same sophisticated techniques that experts use to sell legal and medical services. Bruce I. Newman addresses issues of serious concern to the health of the political process as he examines the roles of polling, direct mail, 900 numbers, and television in advertising. Using the 1992 presidential election as a case study, this extraordinary volume reveals how the American political process has been transformed--for better or worse--by the use of marketing techniques.

PART 
The 
Evolution 
of 
Marketing 
in 
Politics 
As
we 
look 
at 
presidential 
elections 
before
1956,
we 
go
back 
to
a
point 
in 
time 
when 
politics 
operated 
by 
the 
principle 
of 
grass-roots 
efforts 
(or 
machine 
politics). 
Candidates 
relied
on 
the
national 
party 
organization 
to 
solicit 
help 
from 
local 
and 
state 
party 
officials 
to 
coordinate 
volun
teer 
network 
of 
support. 
(We 
still 
see 
this 
principle 
driving 
campaigns 
at 
the 
local 
and 
state 
levels.) 
In 
terms 
of 
marketing 
orientation, 
campaigns 
during 
this 
time 
were 
driven 
by 
the 
forces 
of 
distribution 
(what 
we 
in 
marketing 
refer 
to 
as 
the 
person-to-person 
contact 
that 
takes 
place 
as 
product 
is 
transported 
from 
the 
manufacturer 
to 
the 
wholesaler 
to 
the 
retailer 
to 
the 
consumer).
