Popular check-in application Foursquare announced today on its blog that as of last week it has more than half a million businesses signed up and offering specials.
Businesses looking to take advantage of customers using Foursquare to check in to their locations can sign up for a merchant account. Once they do so, they can offer specials, update venue information and gain useful insights on check-in data, such as popular days and times. Best of all, it’s free.
Foursquare spotlights several specials that are currently running, including one from Radisson Hotels that allows guests to check out 2 hours later than normal. Also, McDonald’s is offering a free beverage with the purchase of a meal to people who check in with Foursquare.
Foursquare has been busy the past couple months. The company recently closed a $50 million round of funding and reached a milestone of more than 10 million users.
