A website to tell your kidney story can be effective in publicizing your message that you need a kidney donor.
But unless you advertise that website and drive traffic (viewers) to it, the website will be of no value. In order to do that consider the following.
Method:
Make the URL (webpage address) easy to remember. For example, KIDNEY2LARRY.COM.
How:
1. Register an easy-to-read and easy-to-remember website name. I use hover.com to register domain names.
2. Redirect your new, easy-to-read website name to the URL of your website. E.g., https://www.kidneysuccess.org/nkrrecipient/larry-orbach.
Advertising Ideas:
1. Design a logo (or have a professional do that). I've used ZillionDesigns.com. A good logo could cost in the $250-$300 range. Here's an example done by designer "heypaul":
2. Use the logo everywhere:
- Facebook posts (with a link to your easy-to-read URL)
- email signature lines
- lawn signs
- posters
- flyers
- magnetic signs for cars
- t-shirts
- sweat shirts
- baseball caps
Prices to print 6" x 18" magnetic signs like this could be less than $30 per sign.
Consider this also:
Good luck.
