Pages
By following your page, users are “opting-in” to have your branded Tips
show up on their phones when they check in at or near a venue where
youve left the tip. More on Tips later.
Pages
Tips
Tips Tips are the primary content on your brand page – think of them as tidbits of
editorial content you leave at specific venues. They should provide relevant
information or help influence your readers decisions.
How Tips Work Readers love your content in print and online. Why not deliver it to them when it’s
relevant to their location? When users check in at locations, they view the nearby Tips
for advice on what to do. There can sometimes be hundreds of Tips at a given venue. But
when your Followers check in at a place – your Tip will pop up in the phone – in priority
over the others.
Lists
Create Lists Lists allow you to thematically organize and brand your Tips. Think of lists as a handy mobile guide for all the places your readers should try out.

Badges
Badges
•Foursquare badges reward
users for checking in and
trying new experiences.
•We use badges as a fun
way to influence user-
behavior.
•For example, if a user
checks in to a gym 10 times
in one month, they unlock
the Gym Rat Badge.
Partner Badges
The History badge allows badge holders to get discounts at certain
pubs, museums and sights.
Once a user unlocks a badge it’s stored
in its rightful place of glory: the trophy
case.
Foursquare works with select partners to create custom badges, tailored for
their brand and audience.
