Valdosta will host its first ever cash mob on Tuesday. The community is asked to meet for this exciting event at 5:30 p.m. at the Historic Courthouse in Downtown Valdosta. A random downtown Chamber retail business will be selected and participants are encouraged to make a purchase at that business as soon it is announced.   

“Cash Mob Valdosta” is a partnership effort between the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber and Valdosta Main Street to spur spending locally, with hopes that downtown businesses will gain more exposure and customers.  

Facebook and Twitter have proven to be essential to a cash-mob’s success. The community is encouraged to share this event with friends through their own social media sites and emails. Cash Mob Valdosta can be found on Facebook and www.ValdostaMainStreet.com.

Visit local shops you might not have known existed and don’t stop there. Participants are encouraged to dine at one of the many downtown restaurants after the cash mob.

The event will be held during National Small Business Week which is designed to celebrate small business owners. Be a part of a growing trend to help keep area small businesses in business!
