Receive special discounts at the MCAA booth

By Tim O’Toole

Stop by the MCAA booth N1345 during the MCAA Convention at World of Concrete/World of Masonry in Las Vegas and check-in with Foursquare to receive special MCAA discounts.

Foursquare is a location-based mobile platform that makes cities easier to use and more interesting to explore. By “checking in” via a smartphone app or SMS, users share their location with friends while collecting points and virtual badges. Foursquare guides real-world experiences by allowing users to bookmark information about venues that they want to visit and surfacing relevant suggestions about nearby venues. Merchants and brands leverage the foursquare platform by utilizing a wide set of tools to obtain, engage, and retain customers and audiences.

Foursquare apps are available for the iPhone, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phone platforms.

Create your Foursquare account and learn more at foursquare.com.
