So You’ve Heard of FourSquare… (…and you’re pretty sure it’s not just a game)

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

(MILWAUKEE, WI) Leave the red rubber ball on the playground. “This” FourSquare is for grown-ups.

Have you heard about foursquare.com and wondered what it is, how it works and why you should use it? To answer these questions and many others, MKELive, Dynamismo and The Iron Horse Hotel are hosting the Midwest’s first FourSquare training session for business owners.

During this exclusive two-hour event, learn how to leverage this new social media tool in order to see who is coming to your business, recognize your best customers, and encourage your advocates spread the word! This meeting will be capped at 50 attendees in order to ensure the one-on-one attention and training people need to immediately reap FourSquare’s benefits.

The meeting is invite only and will be held on March 30th, from 5:00-7:00 pm, at the Iron Horse Hotel. Local experts, such as restaurateur Joe Sorge (aka, @ajbombers) and Kelly from The Iron Horse Hotel (aka @IronHorseHotel) and Alvin Vitancol from Capital Midwest (aka @vitanga), will provide their practical insight on effectively using FourSquare and integrating this with other social media options. Sorge was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal for his success with social media, including FourSquare.

The Iron Horse Hotel is located at 500 W. Florida Street, Milwaukee, WI 53204.  For more information on Iron Horse Hotel, visit www.theironhorsehotel.com.
