Political Delivery Marketing

Political marketing is most commonly associated with efforts to win an election, but if a politician wins power, they need to deliver if they want to implement promised changes and maintain public support. Citizens now want to see tangible political outcomes. Delivery marketing is not easy in government – either to achieve in its own right or to get credit from voters for that achievement. It includes delivery challenges (the constraints of government and public perceptions of delivery); managing expectations pre-election; making delivery happen in power (through legislation, system changes and working with the bureaucracy); managing problems in delivery and communicating progress and success.
