Pinterest, Instagram, and Foursquare are social media platforms that can be used together for internet marketing. Pinterest and Instagram are both photo-based platforms that allow searching by category and sharing to social media. Foursquare's check-in feature differs from the platforms by being location-based. A campaign for a travel agency could involve users checking in on locations with Foursquare, uploading photos to Instagram, and creating pinboards on Pinterest of their travel photos for a contest. Integrating the platforms could increase engagement for brands and opportunities for rewards.

Users travel to beautiful places and check-in
26. V- CAMPAIGN
For a Travel Agency/Airline
Users take a photo ... check-in on ... and upload the
through Instagram… Foursquare... photo through
Foursquare
27. V- CAMPAIGN
For a Travel Agency/Airline
The Travel Agency can
pick one overall winner
with the “Best Photo.”
Metrics could be
number of likes, or
simply attractiveness of
the photo.
Winner receives a gift
card or free trip.
28. V- CAMPAIGN
For a Travel Agency/Airline
In addition, users can create Travel Pinboards on Pinterest.
The board with the most overall re-pins could win a smaller prize
(because this does not involve checking in).
29. V- CAMPAIGN
For a Travel Agency/Airline
If Pinterest could pull all Foursquare pictures (and know that the user
checked in at a certain location), Pinterest pinboards could be made
with the Instagram photos and the contest could be based on the best
pinboard made of Instagram photos.
This would create a streamlined process: users could easily upload
the Instagram photo on Foursquare when they check-in, and it would
automatically upload to their contest pinboard.
In the process, the check-in information would be maintained, to
ensure that users are checking in before they can upload a
photo/board to be entered in the contest.
30. CONCLUSION
Instagram, Pinterest, and Foursquare are all
in the growth stage
The opportunities to mash up these
applications for marketing purposes are vast
Instagram- All photos are public by default which means they are visible to anyone using Instagram or on the Instagram.com website. If you choose to make your account private, then only people who follow you on Instagram will be able to see your photos.
