Sofia,

That does happen – even in campaigns for Congress!!! The key is to always have more fliers and stickers ready to go — once your opponents see that you are willing to hand out more stuff even if the fliers / posters / stickers you have given out already are trashed, they usually stop, but even if they don’t, you are still getting your message out.

Thanks for your comments!

As always, great post. I couldn’t agree more with #2 “Name Recognition” in regards to winning school (or any other) elections. I think posters and word of mouth are a great way to get to the source internally (on campus) but reaching a little more externally will definitely help. Try some innovative things like placing yard signs in interesting places your classmates hangout or frequent, and use the free tools of social media to your advantage!
