Customized check-in is your own mobile web page that lets mobile users check-in at your location. This service lets you create customized pages (define some welcome text, check-in record to be posted on user's wall as well as the confirmation page).
Mobile web page has got an initial screen (welcome phase, offer etc.) with Facebook Login and some response (confirmation). Just two pages. Mobile users will see your offer, login with Facebook (if your offer is good for them, of course :) and see confirmation page. During this process service places an appropriate record (check-in notice) on user's wall.
After all any business can create own "places" schema monetization for Facebook: ask visitors for check-in, get your own content published and reward users with gifts, discounts etc.
Images below are clickable
1. Find location (place) you are interested in:
Fill the search box on the main page or directly run mashup with some query string.
2. Hit Custom check-in.
It is a link below the place's title. You will see a screen for creating your mobile page:
Actually, all fields are optional, but you can:
a) define your welcome text
it is a text (offerta, initial information, welcome note etc.) for your mobile page. E.g.:
Buy one pizza - get 1/2 for the second
etc.
b) define your check-in page.
You can set here a text and/or some link (URL) for publishing on user's wall after check-in. Describe your business, your location, your offering etc.
c) define your response (badge etc.)
It could be:
- confirmation page (user's profile + counter for visits). It is easy to show this
confirmation page for your staff for example
- mobile map for your place. It is easy to bookmark your place on mobile for the future
- your own site (just some URL). You can develop your own badge
3. Hit Create page button
You will get a short link for your mobile web page as well as an appropriate QR-code.
You can test your page right here using the generated link. Short link could be used in your mobile
portals for example (some like 'Check-in here' action). QR-code could be printed and placed on physical objects. Btw, you
can save image for QR-code and use it for your printing materials too.
