Create a Petition

Qomon allows you to share and get your petitions signed online in three different ways:

• Copy the petition URL and share it with your volunteers through social media, by email or SMS
• Integrate it directly into your website by including an embedded code provided by the Qomon platform and signatories can sign directly on your website, giving you the chance to have a  petition that fits your image.
• Share it on your social media. Your signature counter grows with each signed supporter.

‍

A petition is a form of collective written request, which calls on public authorities to take action on a specific social problem. There are several online petition sites that allow volunteers, community leaders, elected officials, and campaign managers to centralize all the petitions created, to follow their progress and results, and to manage relationships with petition supporters.

A petition that gathered 19M signatures in the US. Your turn to play now!

The best thing to do is to use human contact to get signatures. You can therefore share your petitions with your direct community (volunteers, supporters, activists). In turn, they’ll distribute it to their networks. Another underestimated channel is to have a petition signed directly in the field canvassing or during a stroll. This is extremely effective!

Here are our tips for attracting people:

• Don't see the petition as an end in itself but as a first step to engage in a cause;
• Be direct and precise: titles and descriptions should be short and easy to understand. Get to the point!
• Think about what the desired outcome is: what do you want to achieve with this petition? This will help engage your audience.
• Spend time on wording to drive and motivate your readers to participate.  
• Focus on issues that you believe in! Very local issues tend to be more attractive. Petitions don't have to change the whole world, they can simply drive change on a street corner.

At Qomon, we'll work with you every step of the way to create engaging petitions to help you get the most out of it!

Qomon is not just an online petition site!

Qomon is a digital organizing platform for those shaping the future. It is therefore a more complete tool that offers features to manage your supporters (C-ARM), coordinate your teams for digital organizing actions and analyze your impact (Analysis). By integrating Qomon's contact database tools, petition supporters are directly accessible for you to contact; send sms, emails or call them to invite them to carry out other actions concerning your cause. A petition is not an end in itself but rather the beginning of a series of actions to bring your ideas to life.

‍

The price of the petition platform varies. There are tools that charge according to the number of supporters or the number of petitions. At Qomon, it starts at 39€ per month (with tools for managing contacts and supporters). Be careful with confidentiality and security of your data in free platforms and softwares, as the saying goes: “When it’s free, you are the product”.

Yes, Qomon is an online petition site that runs together with CRM tools to stay connected with supporters directly. It’s in Qomon’s DNA to offer tools for in-the-field work so you’ll be able to digitally organize in addition to, and around, your petition.
