Check-in
When you tell foursquare where you are, that’s called “checking-in”. You can check-in from parks, bars, museums, restaurants, libraries…really anywhere. When you check-in, we’ll let your friends know where they can find you and award you points and badges based on your adventurousnes
Mayor
Foursquare mayorships are awarded to your customers with the most days checked-in to your venue over the last 60 days, and only users who have uploaded profile photos are eligible.The mayor will always be visible on your foursquare venue page as well as on all the mobile clients (good for special verification/redemption). This title is up for grabs for customers that visit you often, but is not achievable by employees, owners or managers. You can provide rewards to those crowned in the specials management section, once your venue has been claimed.
Badges
Badges are little rewards you earn based on your check-in habits, such as frequenting too many karaoke bars, eating lots of pizza, taking your kids to the playground. We’re constantly adding new badges, and now you can earn fun badges from some of the brands we partner with (currently Starbucks, AskMen.com, Bravo, Zagat, The History Channel, The Wall Street Journal, Bon Appetit, Lucky Magazine, Thrillist, BART, VH1, MTV and more!). To earn branded badges, find their page by searching or by scrolling to the bottom of the homepage at foursquare.com, then “follow” the brand for relevant tips and themed badges
