THE INSIGHT SEEING THE LIGHT
![Page 7: Driving Awareness and Donations by Building a Community in the Social Media Space](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56812b88550346895d8fa39a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
MOTIVATIONS• The need of a family member or friend• The desire to express gratitude to donors• The power of a story told directly by a recipient• The need to gather stories to inspire more
people donate• Social media is neat
![Page 8: Driving Awareness and Donations by Building a Community in the Social Media Space](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56812b88550346895d8fa39a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MISSING PIECES• Because blood donation is an anonymous
process, recipients need a way to give their thanks to donors
• People do not have a place to share their stories about how these anonymous donors have touched their lives
• We need a way of bringing these together
![Page 9: Driving Awareness and Donations by Building a Community in the Social Media Space](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56812b88550346895d8fa39a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
THE INSIGHT• Inspiration is a motivator to act• Illustrating impact is as good as gold• The online space is an increasingly fertile spot
to create influence and drive people to act
![Page 10: Driving Awareness and Donations by Building a Community in the Social Media Space](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110403/56812b88550346895d8fa39a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

WHAT IF WE COULD…• Create an opportunity for blood recipients to
share their stories and have them brought to life by photos, videos and text?
• Make these stories and these recipients available for Canadian Blood Service’s future marketing & donor recruitment efforts?
• Raise awareness and bring to life the need for blood donations?
