Below, I will explain the process for organising and executing most of our Flash Mobs. These methods are common to most Flash Mob groups around the world and hence they have been tried many times and we know that they work well. However, this doesn't mean that this is the 'only' way to do it, so if you have any suggestions please drop us an email or leave a comment at the bottom of this post.
Please also read these guidelines to ensure our mobs work as well as possible
Once an idea, date, approx location, and approx time has been decided we will post a message both on the website and Facebook to alert everyone of the above details and call for anyone who is interested to email us with an approx head count of those attending. This email must be sent because the next lot of instructions will arrive via email.
The morning of or the night before the event, an email will be sent out with instructions for: where to meet and at what time and what to do to get the rest of the instructions
Mobbers will collect the rest of their instructions by following the emailed directions. These instructions will be VERY specific and must be followed exactly for the mob to work.
This method is effective because there is no way that other people could know beforehand what we are going to attempt. This is especially important if we attempt something within a shop or mall. This could be seen as a disadvantage because Mobbers won't be able to determine if they want to participate in a particular mob before hand, however I think it adds another element to the Mobbing experience as Mobbers won't know what the actual mob is until a short time before it occurs. Obviously Mobbers can choose to not participate once they get the final instructions if they don't want to.
