We receive a growing number of inquiries every week into Foursquare and how businesses can integrate this geo-social community into their marketing strategies. Because of the growing interest, we thought it would be a great value to any business looking into incorporating Foursquare as a marketing tactic in their overall strategy to have a simple to understand guide, stated Liana Li Evans, co-founder of LiBeck Integrated Marketing.
Evans, who is one of the two authors of the free eBook, along with Frank de Marchena, put together the Foursquare Business Guide after recognizing the conversations online around Foursquare and the responses to their blog posts about using the geo-social network. Businesses just kept asking for more information, so we decided an easy to read, print and pass around guide would be the best way to give them valuable information about Foursquare that they were looking for, explained Frank de Marchena.
