The Holiday season is a great time of year to remember and recognize those volunteers who are actively involved in the scheduling of blood drives, recruiting blood donors and working as volunteers during the blood collection hours either in the fixed sites or on mobile drives.

Even though we are diligent in offering verbal appreciation to these folks, a gift and written note will be more effective.

A few ideas may include:

• A Blood Center coffee mug filled with packets of tea, hot chocolate or cappuccino mix with a personal thank you note.
• One of the Blood Center’s t-shirts or caps tied with a ribbon and personal note.
• A nice writing pen with the Blood Center logo inscribed on it.
• A custom designed Holiday ornament.

Each of these gifts  are small tokens of your gratitude and appreciation, but will serve you well in the future.  Your volunteers will remember your thoughtfulness and kindness and be willing to help out more than ever.

When you are setting up blood drives, have you ever hung your banner to only find 3 minutes later that it has fallen to the ground?  Check out our 6’ tall banner stands that are easy to set up and they make your blood drive look good in less than one minute to set up.  These are a great investment for repeat use at blood drives, high schools and for in center promotions.  Completely custom graphics make this piece stand out.  United Blood Services chose to add a personal touch to their banners with a photo of a family that people can relate to.

It’s easy to store, it weighs less than 30lbs all together and you can use it over and over again.  Call me to ask how we can get your custom banners in your centers soon!
