Thumbvista
Thanks to location tracking, your business can benefit a lot by targeting local customers, which is exactly what Thumbvista is all about. By using geofencing, Thumbvista is able to offer accurate location-based and advanced mobile marketing in order to reach out to customers who are physically located in the area you operate in. The way Thumbvista’s geofencing works is by an action being triggered when a potential customer enters the targeted zone. The action can be an SMS giving customers special offers, in-app mobile banners, discount codes and similar. This mobile marketing solution is a good choice for small businesses not only because it can accurately target customers in your area, but also because it can use interest-based targeting through contextual and behavioral targeting.

The social platform Foursquare does not have the dynamic characteristics of Thumbvista since the way it can help a small business does not employ text messaging or geofencing.
