Shift Mob

ShiftMobs are fun and powerful ways to help make and promote the 10%
Shift as we build strong local economies and local economic
independence.

ShiftMobs are purchasing parties that …

Are fun ways to bring folks together to support a locally-owned
business
Help educate our community to benefit of shopping locally
Introduce customers to really cool local green businesses and
encourage shopping at Local Independents
Improve the financial bottom line of a Local Independent by jacking up
sales big time in a one-night sustainable shopping spree (only buy
what you need or buy for others in need)
Collect food, clothing, or other items for local nonprofits that
support the hungry and the homeless

We organize ShiftMobs as a way of demonstrating our support for all
locally-owned businesses by focusing a tremendous attention on one or
two Local Independents. Although, the focus is on one or two
businesses, the primary purpose is to promote all Local Independents
and to encourage businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and
residents in making the 10% Shift.
