Foursquare and Iterable are powering the future of location-based engagement. Foursquare's Movement SDK gives you a clear understanding of where your users go — empowering Iterable to send customized, location-based messages that drive conversions both on- and offline.
Why use this integration?
Connecting your Foursquare and Iterable accounts lets you unlock location-based engagement, segmentation, and personalization so you can:
-
Message customers when they're most likely to engage
Send targeted messages to users when they are most likely to engage with your brand, such as when they enter one of your stores or when they leave their home or workplace.
-
Re-capture lapsed customers
Send targeted messages to lapsed users when they are near one of your locations or one of your competitors' locations.
-
Discover each customer's preferences in the background
Segment your users based on their real-world behavior and interests. The Movement SDK can track venue visiting patterns to show you which of your users are coffee lovers or sports fans — allowing you to engage on a deeper level.
