Over the past six weeks Direct Call have provided the Green Party with highly professional call centre services during their vital Euro and Local election campaigns.

As the dust begins to settle after the manic last few days, it is clear that the Green Party has made hugely promising progressions that will drive the party towards an increasingly imminent general election.
Not only did the Greens retain both MEP's, their overall vote in the Euro elections increased by a staggering 44% http://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2009-06-08-euro-results.html
The local elections also provided steady progression with the Greens gaining 10 council seats http://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2009-06-06-county-elections.html

During the campaign, Direct Call helped the Green Party set up and receive calls from 11 separate UK regions. On behalf of the party, Direct Call seamlessly handled manifesto requests via SMS and phone; provided valuable party and election information; processed credit/debit card donations and recorded membership requests which helped increase membership by 8.5% (http://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2009-06-06-county-elections.html).

Between now and the not too distant general election we will be assisting and advising on how best to develop the data The Green Party have gathered over the past 6 weeks. This will be key to the success of future campaigns and also in generating additional campaign funds.
