			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yet another new phrase to add to the English vocabulary &#8211; carrotmob!</p>
<p>What is is?  The website describes it as &#8220;&#8230;a network of consumers who buy products in order to reward businesses who are making the most socially responsible decisions.&#8221;</p>
<p>http://carrotmob.org/</p>
<p>The website goes on to explain&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s easier to understand if you look at an example. In the first ever Carrotmob event, a liquor store agreed to invest in upgrades that made their store more energy-efficient. In exchange, hundreds of Carrotmobbers showed up at once to support the winning liquor store.&#8221;</p>
<p>What a great concept!  Basically, businesses compete to WIN a carrotmob endorsement.  This in turn brings in business.  So, instead of punishing businesses (with boycotts, etc.) this company looks to reward businesses.  A positive method for a positive message!  Great idea!</p>
<p>So, it&#8217;s easy to see how it can help your business.  But how can you get involved?  What do you need to do?</p>
<p>Easy enough to get started, simply contact the company at info@carrotmob.org and they&#8217;ll get you started!</p>
