Using foursquare For Your Auto Detailing Business

Foursquare is a location-based mobile platform that makes cities easier to use and more interesting to explore. By "checking in" via a smartphone app or SMS, users share their location with friends while collecting points and virtual badges. Foursquare guides real-world experiences by allowing users to bookmark information about venues that they want to visit and surfacing relevant suggestions about nearby venues. Merchants and brands leverage the foursquare platform by utilizing a wide set of tools to obtain, engage, and retain customers and audiences. Basically this will encourage your customers to come back more often for hand car washes, express details and quick spruce ups for their vehicles.

Whether you’re a national chain, a mom-and-pop shop, or anywhere in between, you can attract new customers or reward your most loyal ones by offering foursquare Specials - mobile coupons, prizes or discounts - which are presented to users when they check in at or near your venue. Specials create extra enticement to get customers to stop by – think 20% off a complete auto detail, a free hand wash with an engine cleaning or complete interior detailing. Or even a reserved parking spot for your most loyal customers. Specials can be tailored to fit your needs, whether it’s a unique discount for first-time customers or rewards for the 10th visit!

In addition to driving business through Specials, signing up for foursquare's free Merchant Platform also allows you access to your Venue Stats dashboard, allowing you to track your customer foot traffic over time.
