Starbucks oferece recompensa através do Foursquare

baristabadge.jpgConforme a gente acompanha toda semana, algumas empresas estão fechando parcerias com redes sociais móveis de geolocalização para conceder benefícios aos seus clientes. Postei, antes de ontem, sobre a parceria entre a Chevrolet e o Gowalla.
Também essa semana, outra parceria importante foi anunciada, só que pela Starbucks.

Nos Estados Unidos, os usuários do Foursquare que derem check-in em qualquer uma das lojas da Starbucks vão ganhar recompensas. Quando for dado cinco check-ins, o cliente ganha um badge de barista (nada muito tentador). No momento não há recompensas financeiras, mas a Starbucks está planejando o preparo de uma gratificação mais atraente aos frequentes visitantes.

Por possibilitar comentários de usuários, o Foursquare também vai servir como fonte de análise de feedbacks da Starbucks, para saber o que os clientes gostam ou não.

Talvez essa seja a maior parceria entre uma empresa e o Foursquare. É a uma grande chance da popularização da ferramenta, acredito eu.
