Is Your Local Business On Foursquare?
Written by Nathaniel Deal
Myspace, Facebook, Twitter... What's next?
Geolocation Social Media... This means is that people can tweet or facebook their exact location to their friends and followers. Creepy right?
This technology has been around for some years now, and finally people are starting to take notice.
Earlier this year, Google launched a new product called Google Latitude but it never really took off.
Boost mobile promoted this feature on their phones to gain new customers but that didn't work right either.
So who's leading the pack with this new technology? It's called Four Square.
Foursquare.com is a simple yet entertaining way to "check in" to local places and explore your community.
So how does this help a local business owner?
What if you could track valuable customer stats everytime someone comes to your venue in real time?
Stats like: Most recent visitors, most frequent visitors, number of unique visitors or even a gender breakdown of your customers.
Wouldn't this infomation be valuable to increasing your revenue and boosting your marketing efforts?
Yes! But wait theres more. What if everytime a customer comes to your business, they instantly told everyone of their friends about it.
That's free advertising!
With Foursquare you can do all of this, and best of all it can be fun for you and your customer.
