So you think that Foursquare is just a game? \u00a0Well many people think that but every day it is used by businesses to make people aware of a restaurant or other establishment. \u00a0Look at how it is used by a restaurant:<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0People click on the location which others can view. \u00a0If enough people see it, people will think it might be a good place to eat.<\/p>\n
2. Tips about the restaurant are visible for other Foursquare users to see. \u00a0Something like, “Great appetizers” can draw attention that brings in new customers.<\/p>\n
3. A restaurant can offer discounts or other things through Foursquare ads.<\/p>\n
4. Users can get a badge if a swam of 50 or more visit and click on the restaurant at the same time.<\/p>\n
5. Facebook and Twitter can also be used to draw Foursquare users to use Foursquare at a restaurant.<\/p>\n
6. Foursquare ‘friends’ will see who is checked into a restaurant…it invites friends to join them there.<\/p>\n
7. Foursquare users make unknown restaurants known. \u00a0Bang, more business.<\/p>\n
NOW, how can this apply to a ministry. \u00a0It is easy to see:<\/p>\n
1. Foursquare users show that people are visiting a ministry.<\/p>\n
2. Foursquare friends see where others are attending meetings.<\/p>\n
3. Non-ministry\/church goers see that others are attending church\/ministry events.<\/p>\n
4. You can create a swam by asking your smartphone users to use Foursquare at meetings.<\/p>\n
5. People can view the comments of church\/ministry goers.<\/p>\n
6. You can create ads for Wednesday night dinners, Upward discounts or whatever will assist your participants and members.<\/p>\n
So before you spend thousands of dollars on newspaper ads and door flyers, which few read, use free social media and then enhance it with inexpensive ads.<\/p>\n
