Can A Blood Drive Be Warm & Fuzzy?

If your company has ever hosted a blood drive for the American Red Cross, you’re aware that it’s not an easy sell, such as a bake sale—mmm, warm homemade chocolate chip cookies, or even asking for a cash donation for a charity.  It involves blood and needles.  It’s a personal sacrifice.

You Just Need a Spokespuppet!

We wanted to soften the clinical message of the Red Cross supplied flyers and make our blood drive much friendlier and more approachable—dare we say, even warm & fuzzy…  Enter our promotional inspiration from Sesame Street!

We still shared the all important Red Cross message of how one donation has a huge impact, but we also made sure to mention there will be cookies and O.J. as well as utilized a beloved purple Muppet to set the tone.

Thumbs up for donating blood!

 

We’re happy to report that Global Resources had another amazing turn-out for our blood drive!  Not only were our appointments fully booked, but we had a list of walk-ins ready to fill the spots for anyone who wasn’t able to qualify to donate.  Thanks to everyone who made a difference!
