Reebee Updates a Traditional Marketing Tool

photo reebee-updates-a-traditional-marketing-tool.pngThe use of flyers is an old, but still widely used, method by businesses to draw customers in by offering incentives to customers.  While many retailers still use this traditional method, there is a way to make it better, and that is exactly what an app called Reebee hopes to do.  What can be irritating to many people is receiving bundles of papers in their mailboxes a few times every month.  While this does draw in some extra customers, many people simply throw them, though there are those who will look through them even if they do not appear to include products or services of interest to them initially.  There are those who avidly search through flyers for discounts.  Whatever category someone may fall into, Reebee looks to modernize one of the retail market’s oldest and most reliable marketing tactics.

Buy and Sell High-End Fashion on Tradesy

photo buy-and-sell-high-end-fashion-on-tradesy.jpgThe online marketplace is extremely diverse and serves as everything from an online presence for brick and mortar retailers to food delivery service to the purchase of computer repair services such as RESCUECOM offers and almost any other type of transaction imaginable.  One service that has been popular since nearly the very beginning of the Internet’s popularity for personal use has been online resale.  Beyond buying from major retailers or online outlets, people have been buying and selling used goods of their own on such popular sites as Craigslist.  These sites allow anyone to purchase or sell anything within reason, and now a startup called Tradesy wants to bring this model to high-end goods and fashion accessories.  Until recently, there has been little focus on the resale of such goods specifically.  Tradesy gives users a place to find things very few people on sites like Craigslist would ever offer, complete with safeguards to ensure the quality of said goods that others do not offer.

Class Wallet Helps Schools Manage Money

photo class-wallet-helps-schools-manage-money.jpgManaging funds is a major part of the day-to-day operations of businesses, public institutions, and non-profits alike, and schools are no exception.  It can be extremely difficult for schools to track the money coming in and out on a daily basis, for both necessary functions such as utilities and building management as well as fundraising, sports teams, and other peripherals. Fortunately, a startup called ClassWallet hopes to change this unfortunate truth.  With so many individual schools as well as entire districts cutting education budgets, properly managing money that is available is becoming even more vital.  Digital payment and management is one of the major ways that monetary transactions can improve, but there has been little focus on education up to the last few years.  What ClassWallet offers, in essence, is a digital money management platform that schools can use to more easily and thoroughly track the many incoming and outgoing payments involved in every aspect of their operation.

Online Classifieds are More Locally Focused with iSell

photo online-classifieds-are-more-locally-focused-with-isell.jpgWebsites that serve as an online marketplace for consumer-to-consumer goods are extremely prevalent and only increasing in popularity, with sites like Craigslist in the forefront.  These personal classified sites allow anyone, anywhere in the country to sell anything they like or search for any item of any kind while avoiding retail prices.  iSell is a similar site, but there are a few key differences between how it works and the way a website such as Craigslist functions.  Like others, it maintains a stringent focus on decentralization, which in its case simply means not having any one central location, company affiliation, specific product, or the like.  Also like similar online classified ad platforms, it is free to post an ad, though there is a paid option that adds some perks for users.
