Reebee Updates a Traditional Marketing Tool
The 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. Read more »
The 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. 
Managing 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. 
Sports journalism is very popular and has been for decades in the U.S. and around the world, and many people rely on sports reporters for game scores and details. With the advent of the Internet, there is no shortage of sports journalism websites that allow people to get the information they want about their favorites teams in their favorite sports quickly and easily. Many sites combine this information with a social aspect as well. Scorestream is a website that combines all of these elements together with a specific focus on local sports, particularly high school or college, while allowing fans to interact with each other in real time. It offers many different benefits for many different types of users, whether personally sharing news and highlights with family and friends, keeping fans up to date as a coach or athletic department head, or as someone covering sports for a local media company or news outlet. 
Websites 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. 
While the Internet has made working from a “virtual office” online fast and effective, it can have its difficulties as well. There is a lot one can lose track of between numerous phone calls, email threads, chat sessions, and occasional face-to-face meetings. This can be especially true of those working in the visual arts such as designers, illustrators, photographers, and the like, and Cage is an app designed specifically for these fields. Artists must constantly be in contact with clients and now rely heavily on advanced tech devices and methods on order to do so, whether on their computers, smartphones, or other mobile devices. Cage works to streamline the process of developing and displaying a current project on which other artists and industry professionals as well as their clients can comment, offer feedback, or approve. 
Helping businesses build and run a better website while offering customers more, along with helping said businesses build mobile apps as well as websites, is a key focus of many tech startups. This includes the arena of venue management for businesses of all kinds from retail stores to restaurants. Until now, little of this attention has had much of a specific focus on the nightclub industry, and a startup called NightPro is looking to change that. NightPro takes the many aspects of running a nightclub and makes it faster and easier for clients while employing major benefits in customer service, marketing, financial management, and many other areas. It addresses all the major needs of club owners to help streamline how they run and manage their business. 
Planning for a loved one’s continuing health care is no easy task and consists of many different things that one must always keep in mind and be careful to do. This is especially true of those caring for the needs of elderly family members, numbers of whom only continue to increase. Cariloop is a startup aimed at helping older people and those helping them get the medical care they need. Technology is a helpful tool in healthcare management in many ways and for many purposes whether helping us quickly fill a prescription, receive medicine without leaving home, providing automated reminders to take medications, finding the best doctors, and many more. Cariloop applies technology specifically toward helping the elderly by, in its creators’ words, offering care management tools and caretaker coaches to make planning for and managing your older loved one’s healthcare transition easier. 
The market for tea is not one that tech-savvy companies have ignored, though it does not seem to garner the same attention that many other luxury goods do. There are specific online marketplaces for tea as well as companies selling tea online, but these are usually stores that purchase the teas to sell to consumers at retail. In contrast, Tealet is a startup that offers retail but specializes in wholesale tea purchase through an online platform where users can trace their teas from the field where they grow until it arrives in their cups. It works internationally among growers dedicated to growing the highest quality teas with the utmost care. Tealet also offers a “global tea taster” program that offers a selection of high-quality loose leaf tea delivered straight to a user’s door twice monthly. 
Education is about more than lectures, cold facts, and standardized testing. Ideally, a good education will form critical thinking skills, giving children something to draw from and develop for the rest of their lives rather than mere information to pass a test and forget. Narrable is an education app designed with this in mind. It helps students crate a brief audio slideshow with narration and/or music as well as visual effects starting with uploaded photos.
