CiviBoostCo-registration: flattens on churnTraditional ads: late start, inventory cap

Illustrative cumulative delivery: co-registration surges then stalls on churn and disqualified actions; traditional ads start late and cap out on inventory; CiviBoost launches in under 24 hours and keeps compounding.

Tired of the same petition audience?

The audience nobody else owns.

Legacy co-registration networks like Care2 draw on a single well: progressive and liberal activists, oversaturated by a decade of constant petition pushing. If that's not your coalition, or that well has run dry for you, there hasn't been an alternative.

CiviBoost fills the gap

Everyone who isn't a progressive liberal.

Our owned network is built from conservative, libertarian, moderate Democrat, and independent activists who want their voices heard: fresh, consented, and district-matched. It's the half of the country the legacy networks never reached.

Data

Stop paying to guess who your advocates are.

Purchasing data from Epsilon, Resonate, L2, or other sources for data modeling and look-alike audiences is expensive, time-consuming, and the results vary.

Built in

Highly selective audiences, no list purchases.

CiviBoost lets you build highly selective audiences to market to, by district, geography, and issue history, with no extra fees, no retainers, and no list purchases. The data layer is already part of the network.

What CiviBoost Is

Owned audience

118M+ consented subscribers: no list rentals, no ad-tech intermediaries, no impression fees.

Purpose-built AI

An activation platform engineered for exactly one job: constituent-to-legislator messaging.

Compliant delivery

Multi-channel delivery straight into the federal, state, and local offices that decide policy.

Why Constituent Pressure Decides

Offices Triage. Only One Signal Makes the Ranking.

How a member office weighs what comes in

Personal letter: verified constituent
Form email
Generic petition signature
Ad impressiondoesn't enter the ranking at all

Contacts move offices

A constituent who writes, especially a likely primary voter, is a political event. A million ad impressions are not.

Authenticity survives the filter

Staff filter astroturf on sight. Identity, residency, consent, and district match are verified on every action invoiced, so the contact gets weighted, not binned.

Speed inside the window

Surprise markups and four-week comment periods don't wait: owning the audience end-to-end means pressure lands in days, not months.

Cross-issue activation

One network, every fight: subscribers re-activate across issues, jurisdictions, and sessions without rebuilding the audience.

The verification pipeline

Runs continuously on every record.

1

Email verified

Deliverability validation and bot detection

2

Address standardized

USPS standardization with NCOA processing

3

Suspicious submissions, in context

Across 50M+ messages a year, roughly 99% of disclaimed submissions trace to innocent, non-malicious causes, not fraud. Validation controls block fabricated contact data, and anyone who believes their information was misused can contact CiviClick, which traces the submission to the client account, preserves the IP address and timestamp, and reports findings. Clients who violate consent requirements face suspension or termination.

Cost per action as campaigns scale

Illustrative: ad CPCs climb as inventory tightens; CiviBoost's per-action rate is predetermined in the insertion order, flat at any volume.

The cost-to-action math, worked out

Programmatic display
$200,000 · 20M impressions at ~0.05% action rate
Standalone social ads
$165,000+ · 3.3M clicks at ~0.3% click-to-action
CiviBoost network
$70,000 · direct conversion, no funnel loss

Structurally cheaper by an order of magnitude: the audience is already in place, the platform already operational.
