Incentive Strategy & Execution

In blood banking, summer and holiday windows create critical inventory shortages. To overcome donor fatigue and incentivize repeat appointments, standard marketing graphics aren't enough—donors crave tangible, high-quality merchandise they actually want to wear and use.

As Creative Content Manager, I took complete ownership of the apparel pipeline: conceptualizing seasonal themes, illustrating vector graphics in InDesign and Illustrator, coordinating print production specifications, and producing motion video drops to launch each product on social media.

Full-Funnel Merchandise Ecosystem

By keeping apparel design, physical mockups, and social video editing under one roof, every merchandise release functioned as a unified conversion campaign—moving donors directly from social impression to booked appointment.

Each t-shirt was tailored to a specific audience demographic—ranging from first responders and sports fans to local suburban donors and seasonal holiday drives.
