At times, Foursquare on smartphones (the pop ups and push notifications which are free without a SMS cost being charged) can be very helpful every time a friend checks in or shouts. However, all these messages can get annoying if you have a lot of friends (or one frind that checks in obscenely often). Lickily through foursquare lets you configure its ping settings from indivisual friends at foursquare.com/manage_friends.
You can either choose to completely turn off notifications, or get a consolidated digest for the day or until further change in the notification.
Develop your small business by giving back to your mayor and frequent visitors. If you own a certain small business like a store or a restaurant or you are in charge of marketing for a certain region, publicise the product and increasing the frequency of visits by people is your prime objective. The Foursquare service can be used as a tool to reward your frequent visitors to promote brand loyalty and value. For example, if they become the mayor (the most frequent user who has the highest number of checkins), you can extend a discount of a certain percentage something like on your 10th check in the customer can get certain free goodies to promote your business.
Tag appropriately:
For a webs ite, SEo is a must these days. Similarly with Foursquare tagging, you not only optimize your URL but also help your customers unlock certain badges associated with those tags. The more comprehensive (yet accurate) the list of tags on your business, the better for your customers (keep it simple). the key to unlocking many badges on Foursquare is related to the tags attached.
