We Love Cash Mobs
Trending now…cash mobs. Like a flash mob, but better. The masses are using social media to organize events, providing a way to join together and support local businesses. The concept is simple. With $20 in hand, members of a community come together to shop in a locally-owned establishment to support local business and, in turn, the area economy. Interested? Check out the Cash Mobs Blog or CashMob.com to find a mob near you. Don’t miss National Cash Mob Day on May 24, 2012.
