Benefits of "Pre-Signs"

Download PDF

"Pre-Sign" is the opportunity to schedule your next blood donation appointment at the time of your current donation.

BENEFITS TO YOUR DONORS:

  • Allows donor to choose a convenient time slot for the next drive.
  • Making an appointment in advance automatically removes the donor from our regular mail and calling lists so that they will not be inconvenienced.
  • Donors still receive a reminder postcard in the mail in their own handwriting.
  • Donors who bring their reminder postcard with them to their next appointment will be entered in an ongoing weekly random drawing for prizes and gifts.
  • Ensures a faster donation process since pre-scheduled appointments allow the Red Cross to staff blood drives more efficiently and accurately.

Blood Saves

BENEFITS FOR YOU (THE SPONSOR):

  • The more donors that pre-sign for the next drive, the less active recruitment is needed from your Recruitment Team to hit your collection goal the next time.
  • Red Cross staffing will be better appropriated – increasing overall customer satisfaction and decreasing the amount of time it takes to make a donation.
  • Pre-signed donors have a much higher propensity for keeping their blood donation appointments—with an average show rate of almost 75%!
  • By pre-signing for your next drive rotation, you are insuring that their next blood donation is with you and not at another blood drive or blood center.
  • The higher your pre-sign rate, the better chance you have of hitting goal.
