@neilglassman Says @siobhanquinn: @FourSquare experiments tying specials w/ other customer loyalty activites – hooray for integration #RLTM

@TheRealCherylM New specials from @foursquare : swarm special, friend special, frequency special…looking forward to seeing how this shapes behavior #RLTM

@RyanDerous We use Foursquare as a proximity tool, to rediscover Radioshack – @adriandparker #RLTM

@Du4 I think people underestimate the consumer data @Foursquare churns through. If you’re brick & mortar, don’t ignore it. #RLTM

@tmiale Wow… Foursquare users average 3.5x more spend per transactions than non users at RadioShack @adrianparker #RLTM

@rachellevi “you have to be sensitive to the experience you’re interrupting” – @siobhanquinn on location-based campaigns #rltm

@neilglassman Says @adrianparker: Progress over perfection during test & learn process – not always easy to get internal buy=ins #RLTM

@TheRealCherylM 7% of the population uses location-based check-ins @adriandparker #RLTM

@sportsgirlkat Hearing from @RadioShack reminds me of my dad, who used to lovingly drag me there while he bought cables for his audio equip. #RLTM

@emergist Radio Shack has high awareness, is using @foursquare to drive consideration and purchase (@andriandparker at #RLTM)

@TheRealCherylM “Manufactured serendipity” – enabling users to unlock secret tidbits. @SchneiderMike #RLTM

@brightmatrix #RLTM “Discovering the city through our eyes” – using location-based services as almost an alternate version of reality you discover

@AmyVernon RadioShack has used FourSquare for proximity sales/awareness. Knows journey to new wireless device is about 2 weeks. #rltm

@SocialFlow Interesting to hear how both @Corcoran and @Radioshack use location based svcs to “be present” w/consumer thru purchase process. #RLTM

@MrShri @AmyVernon I love how @RadioShack has used @foursquare.. forward thinking. @andriandparker #rltm

@brightmatrix #RLTM Delighted to see @foursquare thinking about ways to automate check-ins & specials for less burden on users & store staff.

@brightmatrix #RLTM It’s a great way to build customer loyalty to embed location-based check-ins & specials with transactions & store/brand cards.

@khaughwout @schneidermike was right to point out the excellent @pocketsq worn by @adrianparker at #RLTM

@rachellevi: “when people check in to your venue, it’s kind of like voting with your feet” – @siobhanquinn #rltm

@brightmatrix #RLTM Key point in this panel: paid & traditional media remain key to promoting existence of new media channels.

@tmiale Great panel… Always good to hear people realize that there needs to be a combination of paid, earned and owned media to be effective.  #rltm

@AmyVernon: Quote of the day:  “Go out there and manufacture some serendipity!” via @SchneiderMike  #rltm

@nwjerseyliz #RLTM Best location panel I’ve seen. Very practical, insightful comments. Wish wi-fi had been working so I could’ve Tweeted about it.

Editor’s note: We were having wifi issues at BB King’s, and we apologize for the frustration this caused for our attendees.  So sorry, @nwjerseyliz!  And: we’re super impressed with how many of you kept trying & were still able to generate enough traffic to get out a terrific backchannel summary of the content.  Thanks for hanging in there!
