Value proposition

Businesses leverage foursquare to engage customers when they’re on the go.

Businesses can be thought of as either Brands or Merchants. Brands primarily use the Brand Page and its associated tools, whereas Merchants use the Merchant Platform in addition to the Brand Page.

Looking Ahead: RadarThe Radar feature offers passive push notifications that lets users know when they’re near venues or friends they might want to see.

• If a user follows your lists or adds one of your Tips to their To-Do List, they’ll get a push notification when they’re nearby - without ever opening the App.
