Foursquare is a powerful tool for any business!



Foursquare is a fairly new location-based social networking tool for businesses.


Many people are accessing Foursquare on their smart phones via a Foursquare app. Others go directly to the Foursquare website.


When a consumer visits a business they "check-in". They can enter a comment, give a tip, share why they are there or even invite people to join them. Every time a consumer does this, it is more word-of-mouth for that business. Foursquare can also be linked to Twitter and Facebook accounts telling even more friends and followers where they are. Some businesses give incentives to their consumers that "check-in".


Foursquare is a game for some people. Many businesses awards the title of Mayor to the person that has the most visits to their business. The Mayor receives free or discounted items from that business.




To sign-up on Foursquare or to download the Foursquare app to your phone, go to: www.Foursquare.com
