Seems to work great for the local Dunkin Donuts where I live. You have to enter the parking lot to get the PokeStop, then you see their store, and are probably more likely yo come in and get a donut or coffee. I've grabbed more coffee from them since. It's basically like free advertising for them since people have to go walk by their store and actively think about going in or not vs. never entering the parking lot and maybe not noticing it. Sure the free advertising won't pull in every customer, but it will increase the average number of customers who come in.
- smokeyj 10y agoI think the inevitable future will be more integrated than just walking past a storefront. Think virtual poke-prizes with your happy meal. Training gyms at coffee-shops. Battle night at your pizza shop. Plus the inevitable market for items Steam style. I can see this getting much, much bigger.
- brosirmandude 10y agoI'm imagining a future where there are multiple location based games and local businesses will need a way to keep track of all the games and which ones drive foot-traffic. I'm also imagining a startup that manages all of a businesses "in game" listings so they don't have to deal with going in and out of apps all day.
