Encourage your friend to donate blood

New blood donors are needed more than ever. Bring a friend to donate blood for the first time, you get a 45-day free trial period on Storytel.

Free trial period for Storytel – also for returning customers

Storytel delights blood donation advocates by offering a free 45-day trial (includes 50 hours) to new and returning customers who have not been subscribers in the last six months (6 months).

Bring along a person who has never donated blood before to a blood donation site. As a reward, you’ll enjoy wonderful listening moments for over a month! The campaign runs until the end of this year, December 31, 2024.

How do I get the free trial?

It’s as easy as this:

  1. Find your nearest donation location
  2. Book an appointment for a first-timer or stop by to ask for available donation times
  3. Inform a nurse that you are participating in the campaign
  4. The nurse gives the trial code to the advocate
  5. Enjoy a shared snack time together

You’ll receive a 45-day trial for every new first-time donor you bring to donate blood. The advocate is not required to donate themselves. You can simply wait and enjoy a coffee with your friend after the donation!

You can also try donating blood together with your friend. If you both donate for the first time, you have brought each other, and you will both receive a free trial period.

The Need for New Blood Donors

The goal of the “Encourage a Friend” campaign is to increase the number of new blood donors, as currently, only about 3% of Finns donate blood each year. New blood donors are continuously needed because some donors have to stop donating blood due to reasons such as illness. We need about 20,000 new blood donors annually to maintain a sufficient and diverse donor pool to meet patients’ treatment needs in Finland.

Every weekday, we need around 700 donors to ensure the availability of blood products for patient care. The steady need for blood is further emphasized by the fact that blood products do not have a long shelf life. Donated blood is vital for accident victims, premature babies, and cancer patients, for example.

Blood donation is an easy and tangible way to help others. ❤️
