SPRING TRAINING PREVIEW FOURSQUARE If you haven’t heard the buzz, Foursquare is one of the latest and greatest in location-based social tools. It’s designed for smart phone and SMS use on your mobile, is networking focused, and works almost like a game. Users check-in at various locations (the airport, Starbucks, your office, etc.) where they can win points and virtual badges. The badges range from “first to check in,” to “most frequent visitor,” and there’s even a “great outdoors” badge—just like the one you got in scouts. Many location-based organizations (museums, historical societies, parks, etc.) have created badges to reward Foursquare users who visit (and to encourage them to visit more). Other nonprofits, like the Red Cross, create badges based on action, in this case, donating blood. The benefits of Foursquare for nonprofits don’t end at engaging visitors or volunteers by creating badges. They also help identify what your visitors and volunteers are most interested in. And this can be helpful for planning strategies to attract more supporters and even converting those visitors to donors. NTEN: CHANGE · MARCH 2011 · PAGE 37
