Want to Start a Cash Mob?

So you want to start a Cash Mob? Here are some tips for getting started!

1. Get a Cash Mob twitter handle.  We recommend something like “CM_____” where “_____” is the name of your city.  This makes it easier for people to find you.  For example, if they want to mob in, say, San Diego, they look for @cmsandiego.
2. Figure out the business you want to mob according to these handy dandy rules.
3. Talk to the business owner, get their permission, and decide on a day and time for your mob.
4. Talk to a bar or restaurant owner nearby and ask them to host the aftermob.
5. Set up a Facebook invitation.  Trust us.  Even if you hate Facebook, this is a great way to get information out to people.
6. Contact all of the local newspapers, television stations, radio stations and events pages, tell them what you’re doing and ask them to run a piece on your mob.
7. Partner with any local community or civic organizations you can find.  They will help you get the word out and bring people to the mob.
8. Work with the city if you can.  At the very least, alert the city manager (or equivalent) of what you’re doing and see if you need to get permits, etc.
9. If you have any questions, email us!

At the mob, there are three rules:

1. Spend $20;
2. Meet three people you didn’t know before;
3. HAVE FUN!!!
