Location-Based Social Media
What’s all the Hype?
What’s all the Hype?
Location-Based Services (LBS) are not new!
What’s new is the cross-roads between Social
Media based communication and the GPS
technologies providing a range of new &
interesting possibilities on how people can
engage with one another
What’s good in it?
• Creates an opportunity for brands to connect with a variety of different users in
ways which were difficult if not impossible before.
• Offers what marketers seek most! An engaged user base that wants to broadcast
their experience with your brand on the various Social Networks.
• Combines Social Media, mobile networking and GPS, to offer unique marketing
opportunities for businesses.
A successful LBSM needs:
Factors for a successful LBSM application:
• Mature Social Media usage.
• Brands to understand the benefit of Location Based marketing offers.
• Integration with existing Social Media platforms.
• Availability of 3G networks + GPS enabled handsets.

Social Check-in Applications
• There are over a 100 LBS applications out there, but only two platforms currently
dominated this space – Foursquare & Gowalla.
• At their core, they are very similar and both provide users gameplay aspects in
the form of “badges” or “pins” collection which then translate into “mayorships” or
“founders”.
• To date, Foursquare & Gowalla have enjoyed the most mainstream success in
the US and Western European markets with an increasing adoption in Europe,
Asia and Australia. What about MENA?
Social Check-in Applications
• The space is not limited to these two! Twitter, Facebook & Google now all include
their own location based features and capabilities.
• The entry of these big players has brought an increased awareness and adoption
to LBS by less tech-savvy users.
