Get The Word Out

Getting the word out to everyone about your blood donation campaign is really the fun part of the whole process! This is where a lot of creativitiy and imagination take place.

The Siouxland Community Blood Bank can provide a wide variety of way to publicize your upcoming drives:

• Posters
• Payroll inserts
• Locker reminders
• Mailbox stuffers
• Bulletin inserts
• Table tents

While potential donors may read about the blood drive on a poster, they most likely will not participate unless directly asked. This is a chance to "Challenge" others to donate or to find other who will.
An example might be:

• A CEO challenging a certain number of employees to sign-up to donate blood before he/she will.
• A challenge between two service organizations to see who can have the most donors.
• Perhaps your office has implemented a Wellness Program for the new year. What a great way to earn points and save a life at the same time!
• Does everyone in the office have to be dressed up during working hours? Offer the incentive for employees to wear jeans if they register to donate and see how many names appear on the sign-up sheet.

Incentives can be used to motivate others to donate blood but they must be used with caution. Per FDA regulations, donors can't be paid to donate nor can their incentive be of any monetary value.
