DonorPulse - How to Easily Receive Blood Donor Experience and Marketing Attribution Insights
Blood donor recruitment campaigns are essential for the health and success of blood centers across the country. However, understanding the donor experience and determining what motivates someone to donate can be tricky. Enter DonorPulse, Incept Health's latest product designed to improve how blood centers gather donor feedback and gain valuable marketing insights. Through this new tool, we make it easier than ever to track donor satisfaction and pinpoint what drives donations, giving blood centers the data they need to improve their operations and connect more deeply with their donors.
In this blog, we’ll explore how DonorPulse works, the benefits it offers, and how it can transform your blood donor recruitment strategy by delivering critical donor experience and marketing attribution insights in real time.
What is DonorPulse?
DonorPulse is the solution you need to integrate donor satisfaction tracking with marketing attribution insights using simple, conversational text communications. Unlike traditional methods, which may rely heavily on email surveys, DonorPulse utilizes SMS to engage donors directly on their phones, where they are most likely to respond. The system gathers feedback using a familiar and customizable Net Promoter Score (NPS) format, asking donors to rate their experience on a scale from 0 to 10.
This feedback loop can be personalized for different donor groups, such as first-time donors or repeat donors, allowing for targeted surveys that yield more specific insights. Whether complementing your existing email survey strategy or used for A/B testing, DonorPulse offers a highly effective way to gather responses and optimize donor engagement.
Why SMS? Better Responses, Better Data
Let’s face it—people are inundated with emails daily, and survey fatigue is real. SMS offers a more direct, accessible way to engage with donors and gather the feedback you need since most everyone is communicating through text messages. Studies have shown that text messages are more likely to be opened and responded to than emails, and that holds true in the world of blood donor recruitment. DonorPulse capitalizes on this by allowing you to:
Receive feedback directly from donors through their phones.
Optimize the timing and frequency of your surveys to avoid overwhelming your donors.
By using SMS, DonorPulse ensures that you're hearing from more donors, more often, and that you're getting more accurate and timely insights as a result.
Real-Time Feedback to Improve the Donor Experience
One of the key features of DonorPulse is its ability to provide real-time feedback on donor satisfaction. If a donor submits a negative response, they are immediately directed to chat with a live person, rather than automation, so their issue can be resolved as quickly as possible. Addressing these concerns quickly and within the same conversation ensures your donors understand that their opinions and experience are valid and that your blood center is actively seeking ways to improve. Negative experiences often circulate faster than positive ones, so responding immediately with a live agent allows you to handle concerns before they escalate and prevents negative reviews from circulating on social media or being shared with friends and family.
Insights You Can Act On: Customization and Reporting
DonorPulse doesn’t just stop at gathering donor feedback—it offers customizable options to suit the unique needs of your blood center. Whether you want to survey all donors or focus on specific groups, like first-time or lapsed donors, DonorPulse gives you the flexibility to choose who you engage with and how.
Additionally, DonorPulse provides weekly reports that aggregate satisfaction data from all donor centers and mobiles, giving you a comprehensive overview of donor sentiment across your organization. This data can be broken down by location, donor group, or even specific campaigns, helping you pinpoint areas of improvement or celebrate successes.
Better Marketing Attribution
Accurate marketing attribution has become increasingly difficult for blood centers due to changes in privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, people and software not allowing third-party cookies, fragmented data across multiple marketing channels, and the difficulty to track traditional marketing campaigns, such as television commercials or billboards. These factors make it challenging to understand which outreach efforts drive donors to take action and can result in wasted marketing spend due to not being able to properly credit the right campaigns.
DonorPulse addresses these issues by using a more direct and compliant form of communication—SMS—to gather donor feedback and track what influenced them to donate. With real-time insights captured through text message surveys, blood centers can get a clearer picture of how their campaigns are performing without relying on invasive tracking methods.
Through its integrated attribution questions and customizable feedback options, DonorPulse allows blood centers to directly ask donors what motivated them to donate—whether it was a social media campaign, email reminder, or a community event. This data fills in the gaps caused by the inability to accurately track data both digitally and traditionally to provide a more actionable view of donor behavior. As a result, blood centers can make data-driven decisions, maximize their marketing ROI, and improve donor satisfaction by understanding exactly what drives donations and how to optimize future outreach efforts.
