Checking in at your favorite restaurant or retail store in downtown Portsmouth on Foursquare has always been pretty cool and it will be even better on Monday, April 16.

That is when the third annual Portsmouth Foursquare Day will take place where several downtown restaurants, cafes, and retailers will offer special deals and discounts when people check in using this social media tool that continues to gain in popularity.

Portsmouth Foursquare Day organizers believe they will see even more people using this mobile app this year than they have the past two years because foursquare is more widely known and used today than it was when the first event was held in 2010. This event and many others that utilize digital media are becoming the norm in Portsmouth.

So remember, make sure you check in with Portsmouth businesses early and often on Portsmouth Foursquare Day on April 16 so you can support them and enjoy lots of great savings.
