The document summarizes a presentation about how the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center used social media to engage donors and increase donor loyalty. The blood center created opportunities to thank donors publicly and build spaces for donor dialogue. By listening to donors and advocating for the community on social media, the blood center was able to create a sense of community and make its brand more approachable and portable. The blood center saw increases in donor engagement on its website and in donors telling their friends about donating blood.
