Share This Story

BOSTON & NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - A new partnership announced today between BuyWithMe and foursquare is generating new business for local merchants by connecting them with loyal consumers in their area. With the release of foursquare's newest smartphone app, users can now access BuyWithMe deals (called Specials) directly through the app's Explore tab. These deals can be purchased through a user's phone and used while on-the-go.

This latest version of foursquare's smartphone app provides personalized Specials that are targeted towards each user. The recommended deals that users receive have been determined based on check-in history, time of day, and location. This ensures that users are receiving Specials that they are likely to take advantage of, and helps merchants attract customers that have already had a positive experience with their business through a social connection or friend.

"In addition to reaching BuyWithMe's loyal and high-quality users, this partnership enables our merchants to tap into foursquare's user base and attract additional local customers to their business," said Jim Crowley, CEO of BuyWithMe, Inc. "Since foursquare is providing users with recommended deals based on where they and their friends tend to go, BuyWithMe merchants will become part of strong social circles that can drive repeat customers and brand loyalty."

Our partnership with BuyWithMe will enable foursquare's 10 million users to discover and try new things in their local communities," said Tristan Walker, Director of Business Development for foursquare. "Our users will now have an extra incentive to check in at local businesses, unlock Specials, and share their experiences and tips with friends."
