Nominate Your Favorite Business for a Cash Mob
Invest in Lafayette has plans to hold a cash mob at a local business in August 2013. Do you have a favorite business in Lafayette? Is there a business that you can’t live without? Nominate that business to be a cash mob location this fall.

What is a “cash mob”?
A cash mob is similar to a flash mob, but the idea is to come together to help local businesses thrive. Participants sign up to receive an email or text message with the time and location of a cash mob event. Attendees meet a few minutes in advance of the event and then “mob” the business by spending $10 in the store. The sudden swell of people spending money comes as a pleasant surprise to the merchant and “Invests in Lafayette”.
