Location Brier Creek Country Club
Date Aug 19, 2010
Start 11:30 AM

Description From check-ins, to mayorships, to reviews, everyone is talking about location-based services. Social media is leading the marketing paradigm shift and one way to enable it to work harder for mobile marketing is location-based marketing. It’s way more than just the check-in process!

Join our popular Triangle AMA monthly luncheon to hear two of our local social media gurus speak from experience of launching a location-based service in the Triangle and of working with agencies and local businesses. Lawrence Ingraham and Wayne Sutton will discuss the pros and cons of offering a ‘check-in special’ and how different businesses are using mobile applications to communicate with customers. They'll also offer tips for launching a successful location-based promotion and for measuring success.

Prior to developing TriOut, Lawrence has released many iPhone applications for kids through his company TantrumApps.com. Lawrence moved to the Triangle in 2007 from California.
