Foursquare for Business
Cashing in on checking with geo-location on Google, Foursquare, Gowalla, Yelp and SquareUp.

Thursday, July 29th
9:00am - 11:00am
Automation Alley Headquarters
2675 Bellingham Drive, Troy, MI

Foursquare is this year's Twitter. More and more folks are "checking in" when they're out and about with smartphone applications like Foursquare, Gowalla, Facebook, Yelp, Brightkite and Loopt. Is your company taking advantage of this booming consumer trend?

In this fun and informative session, you'll learn the why, what and how of geo-location games. We'll demonstrate why these games are a must for every business with a physical location - especially retailers, bars, restaurants and salons. You'll learn how to establish customer loyalty programs, deploy instant gratification advertising campaigns (for free!) and tap into location-based marketing. We'll explore case studies from early-adopting national brands like Starbucks, Bravo TV and Tasti-D-Lite as well as independent local retailers. You'll leave with a solid geo-location strategy in hand and a slew of tactics that you can execute immediately. Get ready to cash in on the geo-location trend and take your next "check-in" to the bank.
