While about 38% of the population qualifies to give blood, according to Red Cross less than 10% are actually donating. Numbers are even lower in the rest of the world, with some countries relying mostly on blood from people that ask money for their gesture. Because of the constant need for blood and the fact that supply can be at alarming low levels more often then not, blood collecting organizations are trying to reach as many possible donors they can. In doing so they use smart slogans, interesting blood donation quotes, and inspiring posters.
I have made for you a selection of 11 blood donation slogans that are not only very convincing but also funny and unforgettable.
1. “Anybody can give blood”
A simple but catchy slogan for this Puget Sound Blood Center campaign. The poster adds value to the message by showing a group of diverse and funny people waiting in line, presumably to give blood.
2. “Bring a life back to power. Make blood donation your responsibility”
Supported by a powerful poster showing a pointed bloody finger, this campaign slogan underlines the importance of blood giving. The quote has the merit of reminding in a straight forward way that giving blood means saving lives.

3. “Spare only 15 minutes and save one life”
Sometimes we tend to forget how easy can be to help another human been but this quote manages to remind us. By highlighting the simplicity of the process, the slogan has also the merit to comfort and convince people that are afraid of donating blood to give it a try.

6. “Your children need one pint of blood to live, pick the heterosexual one”
The quote refers to the ban on blood donation some countries, US included, impose on gay men no matter their health condition or lifestyle. The message of this slogan is that the blood of healthy gay men can save lives too.

7. “A single pint can save three lives, a single gesture can create a million smiles”
A slogan that says it all in a nice, powerful poster. Created to raise awareness for the World Blood Donors Day back in 2012, this quote is one of my favorites because it manages to create a sense of belonging to the community.
8. “Donate your blood for a reason, let the reason to be life”
Use to raised awareness for a blood drive at Crowne Plaza, Kuala Lumpur, the quote reminds you that donating blood means supporting lifes. Simple, powerful, straight to the point, exactly the way slogan should be.

11. “Don’t let mosquitoes get your blood first”
This inspired slogan was used to promote a blood drive event on Facebook. Unfortunately, the event page doesn’t look like having too many participants, but I still think this is a nice quote that deserved to be mentioned here.
