  1. Create a #hashtag with your city and product (#oaklandcoffee)
  2. GeoTag your tweets (learn how to automatically GeoTag tweets in dlvr.it)
  3. Add location as a prefix or suffix (i.e. Joe’s San Francisco: 50% off Lattes)
  4. Be certain your bio on Twitter includes your location
  5. Organize a tweetup at your business. Learn more about successful tweetups
  6. Encourage guests to check-in using a location based service like FourSquare
