Foursquare could be a relatively new social media application and it's very fascinating!
I registered and had a little 'play' around simply to determine what its offering and I've got to admit I can see all types of uses for this handy app.
It is a new social network tool that has simply created it past a meg users. (Oh no! Not another one!) Yup! They are coming exhausting and fast currently as social media gains speed and impetus in the business world.
Foursquare lets you recognize where your 'friends' are physically or have been recently. It allows you to log recommendations on venues like restaurants you have got eaten at or businesses you have visited. Terrific method to encourage newbie’s to an space to attempt out your place/service! Also suggests that you have got to keep providing smart service and products to ensure that you do not get a tip posted concerning your business saying 'stay away from this place'!

Essentially when you have registered you'll be able to 'log in' wherever you're when out and about eg: Having a business meeting with The Right Writer on Social Media, enjoying a 'jelly' workshop at Witney Lakes Resort, enjoying a spherical of golf with co-staff at Bisector.
All your 'friends' can receive a text message or other alert (depends what alternative you made on registration) and they'll apprehend you are in the area at a sure spot and the chance then exists for you to attach/meet up. Friends are linked via your different social applications like Twitter, Face book and LinkedIn as an example as the contacts are automatically imported.
Imagine the spin off for leveraging your business contacts! "Relish the golf. I'll pop in for a beer with you at the 19th." A lot of personal detail, more access and more trust built. Wonderful!
The sole draw back is that, like Trip Advisor and alternative such apps, your reputation can be trashed by one aggravated punter. It'll keep you on your toes though.
You'll realize that your business is already on Foursquare as a result of someone has had something to mention about you or simply desires to ensure that others realize you. Try your listing and claim your business then correct or manage it by registering because the verified owner/manager of the business. You'll place offers on for your loyal customers and reward them for visiting! (The one that has visited you the most becomes Mayor of that business!)
What you'll notice most attention-grabbing is reading about what individuals who grasp your business extremely assume of it. You'll merely monitor feedback or create conversations with your customer base. A must for any location primarily based business.
It's also a nice approach for you to search out the 'nuggets' in any city/town you may be visiting in terms of most common restaurants, health clubs, hairdressers, etc and why they're recommended.
