You give movie passes out to the donors all the time or is that just a promotion for a while? Also, did you get the movie passes donated and the luxury suite tickets donated? We don't have a budget to buy any of that. We run different promotions throughout the year. Around Christmas, we offer free movie passes and this attracts many platelet donors. We have two Baxter e-chairs in our center and that has proved to increase our percentage of repeat donors both for new and regular donors. I have been able to get to know the donors and that has helped to create a personal touch also. Other events we do are for both wb and plt. donors such as shirts, massages, lunch, breakfast, ice cream, mary kay giveaways, and various raffles. The events and shirts attract donors but I am trying to find the best way to start a buddy program. The hard part is our budget and donors would want something in return for bringing a buddy in. Any suggestions?
