Implementing Foursquare • How we will implement Foursquare: • Create organizational Foursquare Account • Tag Recycling Locations on the Foursquare map • Use e-marketing to provide recipients with the information for checking into recycling locations using Foursquare • The email will provide a link to a website with the necessary information and details for this promotion • From there customers can download the app for their smartphone and begin to check in when ever they recycle their bulbs • Once more customers begin checking in we can then begin to offer incentives for the customers who win the title of “mayor”
