 What is Foursquare?

  Foursquare is a location-based social network that allows users to
 “check-in” to establishments through a mobile application.


 ― Over 20 million users
 ― Over 1 million businesses
 ― 2 billion check-ins

FOURSQUARE
 Understanding the Lingo

 ― Checking-In
     ⁃ When you are at a location, you tag your location in Foursquare by checking in – it
       is then displayed to your network of friends

 ― The Mayor
     ⁃ The mayor is the head honcho – the person that checks in the most frequently at a
       location. Some establishments have specials available exclusively to the mayor.

 ― Badges
     ⁃ Badges are bragging rights for being more social, checking in more, and checking
       in at more places – earn badges for different accomplishments

FOURSQUARE
 Benefits of Claiming your location on Foursquare
 ― Expand your reach!!!
     ⁃   Many people connect Foursquare to Facebook and Twitter, expanding the reach of a check-
         even more

 ― Offer specials as incentives for check-ins – trading discounts for further exposure …
   it’s a good trade off!
 ― Helps you measure how people are talking about your center(s) and the activities they
   are participating in
 ― Allows you access to statistics on people who are checking in:
     ⁃   Total Check-ins month-to-month, users, frequency, coming soon: Demographics + Time of day

 ― Prevent people from displaying incorrect info about your venue

 Foursquare Manager Tools: Updates
 ― Send local updates to loyal customers (people who have checked in to your
   location or have “liked” your location on Foursquare)
      ⁃ Share text, photos or specials with nearby customers – can also be synced with
        Facebook and Twitter




eMarketing.ActiveNetwork.com
FOURSQUARE
 Foursquare Manager Tools: Updates
 ― Updates will appear…
      ⁃ When people view your location
      ⁃ In your loyal customers’ friends tabs
      ⁃ After people check-in
 ― What to include in updates:
      ⁃ News about your programs
      ⁃ Registration launch updates with URL to registration page
      ⁃ Info on specials and contests
      ⁃ Always include an image (draws more attention)


eMarketing.ActiveNetwork.com
FOURSQUARE
 Foursquare Manager Tools: Specials
 ― Local venues with specials show an icon below their name
 ― searches can be filtered to only locate venues with specials
 ― Types of specials:
      ⁃   Discounts – Spend $100 and receive $10 off
      ⁃   Freebies – Check in between now and November 1st and
          receive a free keychain

eMarketing.ActiveNetwork.com
FOURSQUARE
 Foursquare Manager Tools: Specials
 ― Recommendations:
      ⁃ Use local updates to share your specials
      ⁃ Set expiry date on each special and try multiple types to gauge the success –
        Foursquare has dashboard that provides analytics on check-ins and specials
      ⁃ Check that special has been redeemed on phone before providing discount –
        specials that have not been redeemed appear gray – once it has redeemed the
        screen becomes bright orange
      ⁃ Make sure your staff is all aware of the check-in specials

FOURSQUARE

 ― Create constant updates – try for daily – make sure to use images and sync to Facebook and
   Twitter for increased reach
