FourSquare is a location based Social Networking website based on software for mobile devices. It enables users to “Check In” to locations using the GPS feature on their Smartphones. Every time a user checks in, he or she will receive “Points”, and sometimes “Badges”. Users will share tips about the places they check in, such as “This is a Great Local Hangout” for bars/restaurants, or “After 11am, E Trains make local stops” for Public Transit stations.
All businesses should make sure they are represented on Foursquare, by logging in and updating their company information. Businesses can make offers to first time customers (“Receive $10 off with your first Check-In”) or make sure their customers keep coming back (“After your 10th check in, receive a free appetizer”).
