14 DAY TRIAL // Check-in service Foursquare has launched a new application for business owners allowing them to enable a better discoverability of their offerings, view check-ins for their business, and more.
Foursquare Labs says, “Get more customers walking through the door with Foursquare’s free app for businesses! Post photo updates, manage specials, view analytics, and more.”
Targeted at US business owners for the time being, the app allows you to attract customers with photo updates, share Foursquare updates on Facebook and Twitter, view recent check-ins at your location, drive traffic to your stores with “specials,” and learn more about your customers.
The app will help you even if you own more than one business. All you need to do is sign up and claim your locations on Foursquare. The company directs interested parties at business.foursquare.com for instructions.
Foursquare for Business requires iOS 5.0 or later and is optimized for iPhone 5. A tablet-native version is not available, though it does run on iPads.
