Definitions
- the present invention relates to plasma donor communications, and more particularly to systems and methods that engage with the plasma donor to entice the donor to donate.
- Engagement is a set of methods that many companies use to build relationships with individuals by interacting with these individuals.
- the methods typically utilize multiple channels and techniques that encourage interaction, sharing of experiences, and communication.
- the goal of engagement is to provide a relationship experience with the company that will gain and retain loyal customers.
- Companies utilize one or more reasons to initiate a personalized and timely communication with customers with the expectation that the customer will respond and stay engaged with the company.
- Once engaged the company may continuously communicate information that causes the customer to think, believe, react, or respond in a predetermined way that continues the engagement until the company’s goal is achieved. In essence, these communication methods allow the company to influence a customer’s behavior and increase the probability that the behavior can be altered for the company’s short and long-term benefit.
- a method for engaging a donor includes sending a first and second communication to a donor.
- the first communication may be sent to the donor after completion of a donation.
- the second communication may be sent to the donor after the passage of a predetermined time period.
- the second communication may remind the donor that the donor is eligible to donate again, and may include a preferred date and time for the donor to return to donate again.
- the preferred date and time may be based, at least in part, on heuristic information about the donation center’s productivity.
- the communications may be sent to the donor’s cellular or mobile device.
- the heuristic information about the donation center’s productivity may be determined from the donation center’s donor management system.
- the first communication may include information regarding a payment to the donor, a possible return date for a second donation or request input from the donor regarding their plasma center visit.
- the input may include feedback on their donation experience, feedback on the staff, feedback on the center and equipment used, or feedback on anything else related to the visit or the process of making a visit.
- the second communication may include an appointment reservation for a second donation, information regarding expected compensation, information regarding compensation accrual and balance, information regarding potential level achievement and trophies to be acquired, and/or pre-donation information about the plasma donor.
- the pre donation information may include the date and time of the planned visit for scheduling an appointment and information about the plasma donor for pre-processing by the plasma center.
- the method may also send a third communication to the donor that requests a referral of at least one additional donor from the donor.
- the referral may grant access to the donor’s contact list on their cellular or mobile device or from an external database (e.g., a social media platform).
- the method may send a
- the personalized message may include the name of the referring donor, the location of the plasma donation center, preferred date and time to donate, educational information about plasma donation, benefits and rewards of plasma donation, and/or links to other such resources related to plasma donations.
- At least one of the communications may include game mechanics.
- the game mechanics may include rewards such as cash or points, redemption of rewards, communication of achievement levels, issuing challenges, awarding badges or trophies, tracking of achievement progress, and/or comparing progress against a leaderboard of other plasma donors.
- the method may also determine capacity and requirements for a donation center, calculate a number of donors required by the donation center to achieve a target productivity, and send, if there is a difference between an actual number of donors and a target number of donors, a communication to a database of plasma donors maintained by a donor management system.
- the communication may provide information to the plasma donor in order to entice the donor to return to the donation center. Additionally or alternatively, the communication may include gamification motivational techniques to increase the probability of donor engagement. Any of the communications may be sent via text messaging systems, notification systems, e-mails, ringer, vibrations or other related visual, audible or haptic systems provided by mobile devices.
- the method will also selectively identify donors from the database of plasma donors to ensure the highest likelihood that the donor will return for a visit at the date and time identified by the system.
- a method for engaging a donor includes receiving, in a server, donor information and donation data for the donor, and sending a first communication to a donor.
- the first communication may be sent to the donor after completion of a donation (e.g., to the donor’s cellular or mobile device).
- the method may also monitor a time period after the donation to determine when a predetermined period of time has passed and may generate a second communication to the donor after the passage of the predetermined time period.
- the second communication may remind the donor that the donor is eligible to donate again, and may include a preferred date and time for the donor to return to donate again.
- the preferred date and time may be based, at least in part, on heuristic information about the donation center’ s productivity.
- the method may then send the second communication to the donor.
- the first communication may include information regarding a payment to the donor and/or a possible return date for a second donation.
- the second communication may include an appointment reservation for a second donation, information regarding expected compensation, information regarding compensation accrual and balance, and/or information regarding potential level achievement and trophies to be acquired.
- the method may also send a third communication to the donor that requests a referral of at least one additional donor from the donor.
- the method may receive a referral from the donor in response to the third communication.
- the referral may grant access to the donor’s contact list on their cellular or mobile device or from an external database (e.g., a social media platform).
- the method may then generate and send a referral communication to at least one potential donor from the contact list.
- the referral communication may include a personalized message.
- the personalized message may include the name of the referring donor, the location of the plasma donation center, preferred date and time to donate, educational information about plasma donation, benefits and rewards of plasma donation, and/or links to other such resources related to plasma donations.
- the first, second and/or referral communication may include game mechanics.
- the game mechanics may include reward cash, reward points, redemption of rewards, communication of achievement levels, issuing challenges, awarding badges or trophies, tracking of achievement progress, and/or comparing progress against a leaderboard of other plasma donors.
- the method may receive donation center data from a donation center.
- the donation center data may include productivity data for the donation center and the method may determine, based on the donation center data, capacity and requirements for the donation center.
- the method may then calculate, using a heuristics model, a number of donors required by the donation center to achieve a target productivity. If there is a difference between an actual number of donors and a target number of donors, the method may generate and send, an additional communication to a plurality of donors within a donor database.
- the donor database may include a list of plasma donors maintained by a donor management system. The additional
- communication may provide information to the plasma donor in order to entice the donor to return to the donation center and/or may include gamification motivational techniques to increase the probability of donor engagement.
- the communications may be sent via text messaging systems, notification systems, e-mails, ringer, vibrations or other related visual, audible or haptic systems provided by mobile devices.
- the heuristic information about the donation center’s productivity may be determined from the donation center’ s donor management system.
- the method may also store, in a data storage device, the donor information and donor data.
- a system for engaging a donor includes a server, a processor, an heuristic module, and a message generator.
- the server may receive donor information and donation data for the donor from a donor database and receive productivity data from a donation center.
- the processor may monitor, based on the donor information and donation data, a time period after a donation to determine when a predetermined period of time has passed.
- the heuristic module may analyze the productivity data from the donation center and determine a preferred date and time for the donor to return to the donation center for an additional donation.

- a system and method for engaging a donor sends a number of communications to a donor after completion of a first donation.
- the system and/or method may send the donor information about the donation that they just completed, information about possible future donations, and referral requests for additional donors.
- the donor information about the donation that they just completed may include game mechanics. Details of illustrative embodiments are discussed below.
- Figure 1 shows a system 10 for engaging a number of donors (e.g., plasma donors) by communicating with each of the donors over a period of time.
- the system 10 may include a global data communications network 135, such as the internet.
- the system 10 may also include a server 104 that is in communication with the global communications network 135 and, perhaps, located within a donor engagement system 100.
- the donor engagement system 100 may generate and send various communications to one or more donor devices 110 and/or potential donor devices 120A-C and receive data from a donor database 130, plasma centers 140, and/or the donor management system 150 via the communications network.
- the donor devices 110 and potential donor devices 120A-C devices may be
- the donor database 130 may be part of the donor management system 150.
- the donor engagement system 100 may receive data from various sources, process/analyze the data/information and generate and send communications to donors and potential donors.
- the engagement system 100 may have a data storage device 106 that stores the received information/data and a heuristics/artificial intelligence module 102 that analyzes the information/data using various heuristic models.
- the engagement system 100 has a message generator 108 that generates and sends the various messages to the donors and potential donors.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows a method 200 (e.g., carried out by the engagement system 100) for engaging a donor, in accordance with some embodiments of present invention.
- the engagement system 100 may receive donor and donation information from the donor database 130 and/or the donor management system 150 (Step 205).
- the server 104 may access the donor database 130 and/or the donor management system 150 via the network 135 and download the donor information and donation information for each of the donors.
- the donor database 130 and/or the donor management system 150 may periodically send the donor and donation information to the engagement system 100.
- the engagement system 100 may save the data/information in the database 106.
- the system 100 may generate and send a communication to a plasma donor’s device 110 (e.g., their cellular or mobile device) upon completion of a plasma donation (step 210) to thank them for visiting and donating at the plasma center 140.
- the engagement system 100 may also, optionally, send additional communications (Step 215) to the donor’s cellular or mobile device 110 upon completion of a plasma donation, for example, to inform them of payments disbursed to them related to the plasma center visit.
- the system lOO/method 200 may track the donor data to determine when the donor can return to the donation center (e.g., the plasma center 140) to donate again.
- the engagement system 100 e.g., the message generator 108, may then generate an additional message that provides a return date for the next visit.
- the return date may be predetermined based on the donor’s criteria such as donation eligibility and qualification dates.
- the system 100 may send a communication (Step 220) to a plasma donor’s cellular or mobile device 110 upon approach of the plasma donor’s return date for the next visit to remind them of their ability to donate plasma and to provide additional information related to their return donation.
- the engagement system 100 may also use the reminder communication to provide the plasma donor with information about the best day and time of the day to return for a visit based on heuristic information about the plasma center’s productivity determined from the plasma center’s donor management system 150.
- the engagement system 100 may be in communication with a plasma center 140 (or more than one plasma center) so that it may access and/or download data relating to the plasma center’s productivity (e.g., number of donations, busy times, slow times, target collection goals, current collection levels, etc.).
- the engagement system 100 e.g., the heuristics module/artificial intelligence module 102 may read the data collected from the plasma center 140 (and, perhaps stored in the data storage device 106) and the heuristic/artificial intelligence module 102 may use heuristics (e.g., a heuristic model) to analyze the data and determine the best day and time for the donor to return.
- the message generator 108 may then generate a message to be sent to the donor with the recommended day/time to return.
- the recommendation for best day or time of day to visit may also be accompanied by an appointment reservation to schedule that time period for the donor to return to the center 140.
- the communication may include a reservation for the donor and the user may simply have to click“accept” on their device 110 to make/confirm the reservation. Additional information related to the return visit may also be communicated such as total expected compensation, compensation accrual and balance, and potential level achievement and trophies to be acquired.
- the engagement system 100 may utilize the donor list/information to try to attract new donors.
- the engagement system 100 may generate (e.g., using the message generator 108) and send a communication (Step 222) to the plasma donor device 110 seeking a referral to gain new donors by allowing the donor to share information about their contacts. If the donor provides the referral and allows access to their contact list (Step 225), the system 100 (e.g., the server 104) may access the donor’s contacts from the contact list 114 on the cellular or mobile device or from an external database or service, such as social media platforms 112 (Step 230).
- the engagement system 100 may then use the contact information to initiate communications with these potential donors by generating and sending a personalized message to the contacts’ (e.g., the potential donors) cellular devices 120A/B/C or other electronic communication methods or devices (Step 235).
- the personalized message may include the name of the referring donor, the location of the plasma donation center, preferred date and time to donate, educational information about plasma donation, benefits and rewards of plasma donation, and/or links to other such resources related to plasma donations.
- the information accessed from the donor’s contacts (e.g., the information regarding potential donors) may be stored within the data storage device 106 once it is accessed or it may be stored only after the potential donor agrees to donate.
- the system 100 may elevate the plasma donor’s relationship and experience with the plasma center by using gamification motivational techniques.
- the system may employ elements of game mechanics into the plasma donor communication which include rewards such as cash or points, redemption of rewards, communication of achievement levels, issuing challenges, awarding badges or trophies, tracking of achievement progress, and comparing progress against a leaderboard of other plasma donors.
- the system lOO/method 200 may be in communication with one or more plasma centers 140 and may access and/or download productivity, target, and other information regarding each of the plasma centers 140.
- the engagement system 100 e.g., the server 104 and/or AI heuristics module 102 may use this information to track and monitor the plasma center’s requirements and calculate the number of donors (Step 245) required by the plasma center to achieve target productivity.
- the engagement system 100 may generate and send a timely and personalized communication to the database 130 of candidate plasma donors maintained (e.g., and stored within the data storage device/database 106) by the system 100 or the donor management system 150 (Step 250).
- the engagement system lOO/method 200 may send the communication to all of the donors within the database 106/130.
- the engagement system 100 may utilize the artificial intelligence/heuristic module 102 to determine an optimum number of communications to send based on how much the plasma center 140 is behind target and an expected rate of donor participation in response to the communications. For example, if the plasma center 140 is 100 donors behind target and the system 100 expects a 50% donor response, the system lOO/method 200 may send the communications to 200 donors in order to get 100 donors to donate.
- the above communication(s) will provide information to the plasma donor with the goal of enticing the donor to return for a visit at the plasma center.
- the system lOO/method may provide bonuses to the donor (e.g., additional game points, awards, achievements, or additional compensation) based on the capacity and current productivity of the plasma center 140.
- bonuses e.g., additional game points, awards, achievements, or additional compensation
- the system lOO/method 200 may incentivize the donor to return by increasing the amount of compensation they will get for the donation.
- the information provided may use gamification motivational techniques to increase the probability of donor engagement.
- the engagement system 100 may communicate with the plasma donor(s) through a multitude of channels available on the donor’s cellular or mobile device. Additional channels may include text messaging systems, notification systems, e-mails, ringer, vibrations and other related visual, audible or haptic systems provided by mobile devices.
- the engagement system 100 may also facilitate the pre-processing of the donor by prompting and gathering donor data related to the upcoming donor event.
- the engagement system 100 and/or the donor management system 150 may maintain all the relevant information required for the donor to check in at the plasma center 140 (e.g., name, age weight, BMI, donor ID, etc.).
- the engagement system lOO/method 200 may transmit (or instruct the donor management system 150 to transmit) the donor data to an external system (e.g., a kiosk or similar system/device) at the plasma center 140 for pre-processing (e.g., prior to the donor’s arrival). This, in turn, expedites the donor intake process and reduces the plasma donor’s visit duration at the plasma center 140.
