January is National Blood Donor Month
West Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 20, 2014 -- The holiday season is a reflection of gratitude by many Americans. This is the perfect time to highlight the importance of giving the gift of life. January is National Blood Donor Month, and perpetuates the spirit of giving.
Businesses can make valuable contributions to the American Red Cross nationwide blood drive by planning now to support this effort. EmbroidMe suggests planning a promotional marketing campaign that will spread goodwill throughout the holiday season and beyond. All businesses can show their support and encourage clients and customers to give blood in January.
The strategic use of promotional marketing tactics can raise awareness in the community and impact an important national cause. A company-wide effort can be encouraged by distributing pens or notepads that have a timely message. “Give the Gift of Life, Support National Blood Donor Month – January 2015,” along with the company’s name and logo, shows commitment and promotes action.
Customer service teams can wear name tags or buttons and give wristbands to customers, encouraging them to join the effort. Educational materials printed with locations and times for giving blood are helpful reminders customers can take home. With the company’s logo, these align the business with the American Red Cross and local collection centers, creating a partnership in the minds of customers.
The benefits of using promotional items to support this cause will establish awareness of the business linking it to a nationwide campaign - smart business for everyone. More importantly, the company can take pride in knowing it has made a difference in the lives of many individuals.
“Make a New Year’s resolution now to support National Blood Donor month in your community,” said Christine Marion, director of retail operations for EmbroidMe. “Your local EmbroidMe Resource Center will assist in building your leadership with a valuable campaign.”
A simple donation of blood has a tremendous impact – it can save someone’s life. Each pint of blood received by the Red Cross offers hope to someone in need. For more information about contributing in your city, visit http://www.redcross.org .
