90% of businesses would not pay to be on Foursquare. So what now?
- Osiris 16y agoHow is this better than just using Google Maps, or Places-like apps to find local businesses nearby?
- jgoewert 16y agoIt is actually worse than Google maps. It isn't meant to be used to find local businesses. The game plays on the narcisism of its users and is more about getting users to look at the page than it is about getting businesses to buy in. There are hundreds of business info scrapers out there pointing to your business. Each business would need to ask themselves if putting money in to one would give them enough of a benefit. And it appears that a lot of them are saying "NO". The idea of having a "Mayor" of your business who has no real business-level relationship with you would turn me off from it if I still had a Brick and Mortar storefront.
