Foursquare, a location-based social media application, has grown steadily and begun partnering with several major brands.
"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." - Foursquare website

Twitter Dependent

Use Images
Images will draw attention to tips you include on the page and extend your brand.
Complete Your Profile
Foursquare is another place on the Internet for people to find your business. Add as much information as you can, including your logo and links to your website, blog or social accounts.
Connect to Facebook
Great fodder for your Facebook page and will likely attract many of your Facebook fans to follow your new Foursquare page.
