If you have a suggestion that we should consider, <a href="mailto:greendrinkschs@gmail.com">please let us know</a>. The reason we selected these types of establishments for the launch of Carrotmob included: 1) the average price point for items, 2) easy walking distance around downtown, 3) they are grab and go spots...no need to wait or make reservations, 4) our desire to include local markets and small businesses rather than large chain groceries, and 5) the willingness of business owners to get involved - and their desire to earn local recognition and save money each month.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5921595771797328907-1518412774763613922?l=carrotmobcharleston.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921595771797328907.post-712778274135272392009-03-24T12:12:00.001-04:002009-03-24T12:12:44.539-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GWKgRXzVXJs/SckGbnNyuFI/AAAAAAAAB70/zeGwkRCKHU4/s1600-h/carrotmob_handbill_GIF.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GWKgRXzVXJs/SckGbnNyuFI/AAAAAAAAB70/zeGwkRCKHU4/s320/carrotmob_handbill_GIF.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316787906540648530" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5921595771797328907-71277827413527239?l=carrotmobcharleston.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921595771797328907.post-46743186829326725902009-03-12T20:58:00.000-04:002009-03-12T21:06:21.677-04:00We are really moving now! <a href="http://www.holycitybikecoop.org/">Holy City Bike Coop</a> is going to coordinate a bicycle valet for those who choose to bike to the Carrotmob! Very cool. We are also going to implement a bicycling component at our monthly <a href="http://greendrinkscharleston.blogspot.com/">Green Drinks</a> meetings - and those patrons who bike to the gatherings will get a free drink!<br /><br />So back to Carrotmob - the press releases started their journey through local media today and we are very excited. If you would like a copy, <a href="mailto:greendrinkschs@gmail.com">email us</a> and we will send one along until we can get one posted online.<br /><br />Thanks for your support.

We figure that we can come away with at least 30 interested participants who wish to save money. As soon as we have this community interest piqued , we will have a "sealed bid" scenario where a percentage is written on a card and filed with us three weeks in advance. Our panel will review those bids, and the winner will be announced.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5921595771797328907-2103449667470766752?l=carrotmobcharleston.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminnoreply@blogger.com0
