Event Details

Did you know customers are “checking in” to your business every day on social media and might be sharing their thoughts and impressions with thousands of interested friends and acquaintances? What might be billed as a game to the public can mean serious benefits (or perils) to your business. What is location-based social media? How can you get involved? What are the benefits? What can you do to turn this game into a serious customer loyalty program?

You might be familiar with Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, but are you familiar with Foursquare, Gowalla, and SCVNGR (pronounced scavanger)? These different platforms turn location sharing into a competitive game—a game over 20 million users are actively playing. A game that businesses can capitalize on!

Join Matthew Olson of Signalfire to discuss how your business can be benefiting from the growin location-based social media trends. In our discussion, we’ll talk about:

  • How location-based social media works, important terms, and who’s using it?
  • What can a business do to make the most of location-based social media?
  • What are the success stories and tips from fellow business owners?

Come enjoy some free breakfast goodies, plenty of coffee, and some great networking. This isn’t a seminar, but a discussion. Bring questions and we’ll get answers. If you want to know more, the Signalfire team will be sticking around to answer questions.
