Carrotmob also refers to a global movement[2] of community organizers who use the Carrotmob tactic of consumer activism as a way to help change businesses in their communities.[3] In a Carrotmob buycott, businesses compete to be the most socially responsible business, and then a network of consumers spends money to support the winner. Buycott. An anti-boycott or buycott is the excess buying of a particular brand or product in an attempt to counter a boycott of the same brand or product.

Some examples of recent anti-boycotts include: The "Buy Danish" campaign, set up to counter the boycott of Danish goods by the Middle EastThe anti-boycotts by supporters of Israel[1][2] to oppose Boycott Israel campaigns.[3][4]When Whole Foods Market was boycotted because the CEO opposed U.S. President Barack Obama's health care reform policies, opponents of health care reform staged nationwide Buycotts.[5] References[edit] See also[edit] Boycott Further reading[edit]
