Who's on it?
Promotion TypeMayor Specials: unlocked only by the Mayor of your venue. Who's the Mayor? It's your single most loyal customer!
Check-in Specials: unlocked when a user checks in to your venue a certain number of times.
Frequency-based Specials: are unlocked every X check-ins.
Wildcard Specials: always unlocked, but have someone to verify before giving promotions.
This is very important and should be a huge incentive to attract users to your business. Remember, there can only be one mayor of your business, so give them something to fight over!
How to Monitor?
Project Foursquare Clean-UpFoursquare is a crowd-sourced application/service that's being used by a whole lot of people out there.
Refrain from cheating on Foursquare. It kills the fun of the game. Better use GameShark.
