FourSquare specials come to the Cherry Hill Mall
The popularity of location-based services and games like FourSquare continues to heat up -- nowhere more than at InJersey HQ, where site editor Julia Hays and I are constantly jockeying with one another to become "Mayor" of the Courier-Post's Cherry Hill building. At the same time, local businesses are looking to get in [...]

Very cool. If township residents have heard of other Cherry Hill businesses with FourSquare deals and discounts, please share them by posting a comment. Oh, and p.s. Ted, I WILL be mayor of the Courier-Post!!

One other one I randomly stumbled upon was Gracie’s Ice Cream in Haddonfield, which informed me that I get free sprinkles when I checked in. Personally, I much prefer the kind of special where you get something for checking in, rather than having to become mayor.
Which reminds me, Julia, I’ve just registered a FourSquare special for anybody who steals my mayorship of the Courier-Post away: “You Win … My Eternal Scorn and Contempt!”

I think businesses probably draw more people in to use FourSquare, thus promoting the place, if they have benefits for everyone. For example, the burger joint PYT in Northern Liberties in Philadelphia gives a free draft beer to everyone who checks in – not just the mayor.
Maybe we’ll hear of more South Jersey places with deals like that.
