Strategies for Increased Blood Donors

footbull3196 · 10-1-2008, 06:14 PM

Ok, well, the people in my Medical Science class want us to somehow increase the amount of people in our city who donate blood from 5% to 10%.

This means we need to do stuff, like advertise. The problem is, we have a spending limit. I'm not sure how much it is, but however much it is, we should limit it to less than that.

I have some strategies so far:

Advertise

Public Speaker

Flyers

Incentives (raffle prizes)

Safety Issues Addressed (you CANNOT get AIDS from donating blood

FREE T-Shirts (on front: I donated Blood on back: I saved a life)

That's all I have so far. Anyone else have some ideas?

Remember, this will make the difference between somebody living and dying.

Any what? Do you mean cookies or something?

I was thinking that maybe we could get a sponsor, like 7-Eleven or Kroger or maybe KFC to sponsor the whole thing and give away free Slurpees or something like that.

Does anyone else have an idea for sponsors?

Stop making useless threads. Seriously.

footbull3196 · 10-1-2008, 07:07 PM

Ok MasteroftheTaco, tell me how this is pointless at all.

Tell me how finding ways to save people's lives is pointless.

An online dancing simulator forum doesn't care about blood donors. Unless you were going to make a thread in CT and actually make it more than a few sentences and looking like it was written up by somebody in grade 2 for a school report we don't care...really.

And the point of a forum is to contribute to it too. I've never seen you post outside your own threads.

EDIT: Btw I agree with Tokzic

NFD · 10-1-2008, 07:22 PM

Also, that was just a statement, all of that. You're just telling us what you're doing. I don't make threads everyday saying "I did this today at school: blah blah blah blah blah blah". That's basically what your threads are. Blah.

footbull3196 · 10-1-2008, 07:41 PM

This isn't just about today.

It's also about later.

I thought maybe you guys would know how to attract people over the age of 17.

What sponsors should I sign, or would you recommend if you were forming blood drives?

fido123 · 10-1-2008, 07:56 PM

Post about it on the internet.

If you sacrifice yourself, there wouldn't need to be twice the amount of blood donors.

Oh wow, you must be a genius to realize that advertising is a good way to advertise.

Well, **** man. We should limit our spending so it's below the spending limit? Jesus Christ that's complicated. I'm not sure I understand.

No. It COULD make a difference. This does not mean it WILL make a difference.

Come on, maybe I shouldn't have posted this here, but KgZ needs to go motherf*cking f*ck himself.

Not kidding.

Seriously, shut up KgZ. Just because I posted something that wasn't that good doesn't mean you have to flame me.

If you want to flame me, contact me personally so the whole forum doesn't see.

Izzy · 10-1-2008, 08:58 PM

How old are you? I doubt some kid is going to get the equipment necessary to donate blood. Just go to a hospital and donate your own blood, because that's all you can do. The red cross or whatever is doing a fine job. They go to schools and do it right.

NFD · 10-1-2008, 09:36 PM

If footbull is old enough to donate blood, he shouldn't be in school.

You can donate blood here in California at the age of 16 with a parents signature. I almost did, but I'm not 16 until November.

That's how it works last time I checked.

It's okay, we like it better this way.

It's hard to understand you with all the penis in your mouth. Remove said penis and the discussion can continue.
