‘Cash Mobs’ Boost for Local Economy
Edmonton, AB – If you don’t have anything planned yet for Saturday, you should consider taking part in a local cash mob.
Cash mobs spin off the idea of flash mobs, and encourage people to put money into local businesses by gathering together and “mobbing” a store.
I took part in a cash mob in April where the small used bookstore chosen for the mob raked in more than $1,000 in just one hour. Fantastic, right? Now there’s another one being planned for Saturday, July 14.
The beauty about cash mobs (which are taking place in cities all around the world) is that they’re organized primarily through social media.
