    Foursquare For Businesses - Presentation Transcript

    1. Foursquare for Businesses v1.0
      September 22, 2009
    2. About Me
      Chris Breikss
      President, 6S Marketing
      Founded 6S in 2001, 24 employees
      Expert in SEO, SEM, Social Media
      Worked With 400+ Clients
      Speak, Sponsor & Attend Industry Events Across North America
      Helped launch the first city crowdsourcing experiment with Foursquare in Vancouver
    3. Friend Finder
      The premise of Foursquare is simple:
      "Tell Foursquare where you are and it will tell you who and what is nearby.“
      "Going to be bigger than Twitter"
      Robert Scoble aka @scobleizer
    4. Social City Guide
      The process of telling Foursquare where you are is called "checking-in"
      When asked to locate themselves, users are shown a list of nearby venues (based on GPS)
    5. Users “Check-In” to Places
      To broadcast their location to their friends
      To update their Twitter + Facebook status
      To bookmark or remember where they've been
    6. Check-Ins Earn Points
      +5 pts
      for discovering a new place
      for going out two nights in a row
      for four stops in a night
      for bringing six friends
      +2 pts
      +4 pts
      +6 pts
      Users compete on a Leaderboard that resets weekly
    7. Mayors
      "Mayors" are those who check-in most often at a given place
      Mayor ship is triggered when a user visits more than 2x within 60 days
    8. Special Mayor Offers
      These "Mayors" titles are used by local merchants to reward locals and regulars
      Offers need to be unique and interesting to engage Foursquare users
      A 10% discount is not compelling enough
    9. Foursquare Online
    10. Tips
      Venue
      Get tips from other users that have been to the venue
      Users create Twitter-style recommendations: "Go here, try this"
    11. Tips
      Nearby
      As users check-in at places around the city, Foursquare throws these recommendations back to the users
      Find out what’s hot, right now!
    12. Tips
      Search Nearby
      Find out what’s hot around the neighbourhood
      Users share short, quick tips that are not like Yelp reviews
    13. To-Dos
      Add places to go and things to do to your list
      Handy for remembering new restaurants that a friend told you about
      Earn points when you cross to-dos off your list
    14. Badges
      The more you explore, the more you unlock
      Badges are tied to time, distance and location
      You may unlock one for staying out past 2am on a school night or for checking-in with 3 members of the opposite sex.
    15. Integration
      Foursquare integrates with Twitter and Facebook platforms
      Add friends from Gmail, Twitter, Facebook (using Facebook Connect)
    16. Twitter
    17. Measurement
      Tools for businesses are being developed
      See patterns when people check in, group size etc.
      Reward loyal customers during slow periods
    18. Platforms
      New version of iPhone App 1.4 released in Sept. 2009
      Android compatibility launched in Sept. 2009
      First Blackberry App to be released early Oct. 2009

      The huge Vancouver social media community campaigned Foursquare to launch in Vancouver

    24. Vancouver Launch
    25. Vancouver Crowdsourcing Results
      Vancouver was the first city to populate location data via a crowdsourcing experiment on September 9, 2009
      In the first week 1100+ Vancouver users contributed 2400+ venues
      "Vancouver crowdsourcing experiment = HUGE success”
      “1000+ venues, 700+ users in 24 hours"
      Dennis Crowley, Foursquare Founder
    26. Foursquare Financing
      On September 4th 2009, it was leaked that Foursquare received VC funding
      $1.35 million was raised by Union Square Ventures (Fred Wilson) , O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures
      “We finally get paychecks!”
      Dennis Crowley, Foursquare Founder
    27. What’s Next for Foursquare?
      More cities. Foursquare explodes when there are 100+ cities. Critical mass is key. 10,000 users needed per city
      More business tools + revenue model = happy investors

      Will International cities be crowdsourced based on Vancouver’s success? Probably? Toronto soon? Maybe
