#7 - Business owners: PokemonGo trainers are your friends!

Small to medium business can really benefit from a nearby Pokéstop. You will notice more and more people wandering around outside your business, playing this game - and as you know, an increase in footfall means an increase in business!



To ensure players are attracted to your nearby Pokéstop, get involved:

1. Download Pokémon GO from your App Store
2. Create an account (or login using a Gmail account)
3. Tap the red and white ball in the middle of the screen, once the game has loaded up.
4. Tap 'shop'
5. Purchase some 'Lure modules'
6. Exit to the map view, and walk to a nearby Pokéstop (the gloating blue boxes)
7. Tap on one when you are close, and it should zoom in close.
8. Tap the white blip below the title, and attach a lure
9. The Pokéstop will now turn pink, with swirly dots around it. This will now show up on players maps, and hey-presto they will be more inclined to head over your way. This will last for 30 minutes, so be sure to check back and repeat step 8.

Tip: why not put up a sign encouraging trainers to head to your business, maybe even a discount for players?

'Lure modules' are the pink items
