Fixing Foursquare

  1. Step 1 – Build a badge store (actually more like a badge marketplace) where companies looking for ways to incorporate Foursquare into their marketing programs can partner with designers to create their own unique custom badges.
  2. Step 2 – Allow these companies to plug their new badges and marketing programs into Foursquare’s account management dashboard. Create different levels of management and reporting service, from free to enterprise-class, to give different types of customers and programs the flexibility they need.

This is sound advice for any GeoSocial service but I dare say Foursquare doesn’t show signs of adopting this strategy. Gowalla’s custom stamp initiative is a hint in the right direction.

The GeoSocial battle ground is not about vast numbers of registrations but who can sustain interest and lower the barrier of entry for business promotions.
