Walk Into Walgreens, Check In to Foursquare and Get a 50% Off Coupon
Walk into a Walgreens, pull out your mobile phone, check in to Foursquare and get 50% off an Arizone Ice Tea. That’s the new experience being offered by a partnership between Walgreens and Foursquare, and it seems pretty attractive. New uses of social media like this provide a win-win-win situation, where foursquare gets another check-in and interested user, Walgreens gets a sale and the user gets a discount. It’s surprising how little this kind of couponing service is currently being used, but I have a feeling this will be big in the future.
This isn’t the first time Walgreens has used Foursquare to give shoppers discounts — in March of 2011 the company ran its first campaign where users who checked in got 15% of sale items and 20% off of Walgreens brand items.
