Editor's Notes
- How many of you are familiar with Foursquare and what it does? How many of you have ever “checked-in” on a social networking site?
- As you can see it can become competitive.
- So…is it “just a game?” Let’s take a look at some stats and see if you think so.
- Not just for DMOs – across many industries. Many have predicted that mobile usage with trump desktop usage by 2014. Foursquare users – 38% more likely to be asked for their opinions on places, etc.
- www.foursquare.com/businesses Claim your own venue. Update or correct information, give extra data and provide offers.
- Once we had it figured out – then we could socialize. Tell our partners, tell our followers. Cross promote between IRL and social media sites.
- Another thing we recently did…
- EXAMPLES! Always help me.
- Colorado State Patrol and Boston PD were found to be using Foursquare primarily for the Tips. Town Hall Meetings, DUI Checkpoints, reminders of safety.
- Even The White House is on Foursquare! They post tips and even have some lists created regarding places the president has visited on his tours – and additional ways to learn historical information about the White House. A brief portion of their social media policy can be seen in the Bio section. They talk about comments that are posted are subject to the Presidential Records Act.
- Foursquare is designed to bring people together. Be cordial and alert others to what is important at that spot.
- But overall, my best advice will always be…something that I tweeted a few conferences ago…With social media and work environments – it’s always great to be flexible. Be willing to change. Be willing to be realistic and adapt.
