Foursquare announced a new business section to allow businesses to place specials on their Foursquare venue pages and print decals to be placed on their doors or windows.
Last week I was able to get a special on my venue, RustyBrick on Foursquare. But as of yesterday, my special was taken away. I received an email from "team foursquare" with the explanation:
Hey there!
While we're working the kinks out of our system, we're trying to limit foursquare specials to places where people meet, socialize and linger. Think: cafes, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, museums, theaters, etc. But stay tuned! We'll be expanding the system soon, and you'll be one of the first to know when we're ready for all types of business! :)
We've tried to make this process as simple as possible but are always looking to improve it, so please send any questions or suggestions to bizhelp@foursquare.com.
Thanks,
- team foursquare
Yea, it makes sense - but RustyBrick can be a very fun and social place. Don't believe me, just read our stories on our RustyBrick blog.
Here are screen shots of the specials being there and then today, they are gone:
Today, it is gone:
I should also note that I am a Foursquare "superuser," which means I have certain powers at Foursquare.
