Central Jersey First Cash Mob Hits Lawrenceville, NJ April 30, 2012
As you probably know, Cash Mobs are a new movement across the United States aimed at supporting local businesses and rebuilding communities. A Cash Mob is a Flash Mob, but instead of singing, dancing or rioting, Cash Mobbers join together and each spend $20 at a local business.
April 30, 2012 “Central Jersey Cash Mob Monday” will be hosting its first Cash Mob in Lawrenceville, NJ. The three “Cash Mob” rules of engagement are 1) Spend $20 Dollars. 2) After the Cash Mob enjoy a local watering hole. 3) Meet 3 new people.
The First two locations selected for the First Central Jersey Cash Mob are….

How did we pick the locations? Well, nobody wants to be the “why did you pick them and not me” target. So the selection process was created by getting advice from other Cash Mob hosts around the Country to learn best practices. One of the suggestions was to have an anonymous committee to select the destinations. So I created an incredible committee that are small business owners or work with small businesses to be part of the selection process – we started with submitting small businesses and everyone voted!
Once the Location was selected I had to contact venues and congratulations them that they had been selected to be Cash Mobbed and nobody knew what I was talking about because it hasn’t really hit New Jersey yet on a media scale. Hopefully, our Central Jersey Media will help put this concept on the Map! As you all know it’s important to create education to our communities on why it’s important to support not just local, but small businesses and here is a chance to get that theory moving.
Here is Cash Mob Rules & Guidelines set up by the originators of the concept!
