Solution Provider: 7 Lessons From Our Work On Ted Cruz's Presidential Campaign

3. Leverage Social Media For Small-Dollar Fundraising

Social media has proven to be exponentially more important in the 2016 election cycle than it was four years ago, Anderson said.

"Trump has obviously been a master of Twitter," he noted.

Anderson also expects to see campaigns use Snapchat and Instagram more, in an effort to come up with something creative that people enjoy participating in.
