Foursquare, TripAdvisor, Yelp. Any need?

[Jakobi]

When you just have an online e-commerce store is there any reason at all to sign up for places like Foursquare, Trip Advisor, Yelp, etc. I mean there's no store, no brick and mortar store so is there any benefit to sign up for these?

Any Thoughts?

Hi,

Agreed - also is anyone still using Foursquare? People go to TripAdvisor to learn about physical places in their destination [traveling, visiting], so it's more for businesses with a physical location. Also on Yelp people still look for the businesses in a defined location, so if you don't have public liability insurance to take business visitors, there's a little boost for your business. Having said that all three can still work for you in terms of getting your name out there, you just need the right approach.

Hello,

Yeah, I guess I wasn't sure if it helped with marketing or wanted to know if other people also utilize these for their e-commerce store.
