Staying up to date with new apps is a habit that all marketers should develop. You always need to be on the lookout for places to engage your potential customers!
There are new apps
popping up every day,

and I know that keeping
up with all of them can be
daunting.

but it’s a habit

you should get into ,
And it’s helped me stay ahead of most

Because you don’t truly
understand the value proposition
of an app until you’ve tried it.

investigating.

1. Confide
Snapchat for texting
Confide allows you to send and
receive messages that “disappear”
after reading. The UI has features
that make screenshots basically
impossible, and end-to-end
encryption means that the service
never actually holds a readableversion of your message anywhere
on their servers.

2. Secret
Postsecret meets Tumblr
With Secret, you create quotecards anonymously and share
them out to a network of friends
that the app pulls from your
contact list. Everything is totally
anonymous including commenting,
and popular posts will propagate
across multiple networks of
people.

3. WUT
Anonymous disappearing
group texts
WUT creates a group text
conversation consisting of your
Facebook friends also using
the app. The messages are
anonymous, and go one step
beyond disappearing: They can
only be viewed on your phone’s
lock screen, and only five at a time.
After that, they’re gone forever.

4. Proust
Technicolor ranking “game”
Proust is what would happen if
you somehow smashed Cards
Against Humanity into Trivial
Pursuit, and removed any kind of
win condition. You are given lists of
funny, irreverent items and asked
to rank them from top to bottom.
The game then heavily suggests
that you should share your results.
Additionally you have the ability
to make your own lists for your
friends to rank.

5. Checkout51
Coupons for 2014
Each week there is a new set of
coupons that get you cash back
for certain purchases. They can
be branded ($1.00 for Triscuits) or
generic ($0.25 for any kind of fresh
blueberries). All you do is send
them a photo of your receipt from
the grocery store to claim your
rewards.
