DoorDash presents its new campaign for Mother's Day where it is accepting 'Kid Currency,' which allows children to be able to buy flowers in celebration of their moms. The flowers will then be sent to their doorsteps just in time for the holiday. How the campaign works between May 12th and 13th, DoroDash will be running an online Flower Auction online on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok channels.
There, kids are able to bid on flowers using whatever currency they have. This can be heads, seashells, toy bricks, and even earthworms. Guardians of the children are then asked to share a photo or video of the Kid Currency with the hashtags #KidCurrency and #Sweepstakes and tag @DoorDash where the company will pick 400 bids.
