Came across a video lately
that I really liked for its photography and music. However, I would like to
speak about the underlying business concept. Daily Secret is a daily email with the
best that your city has to offer. They send you one secret every day and ask
that you share it only with your close friends. Well they also send an
occasional sponsored mail, but that is beyond the beauty and simplicity or the
straight-forwardness of their business model. Daily Secret is a provider of
what most of us in tight, job-driven lives, that have neglected the elements
that make us special, may seek ; the uniqueness of close knowledge, the
competitive edge that the possession of "secret knowledge" may bring
to our social status. This company of people, packs it nicely, and delivers it,
everyday to your electronic doorstep. No hassle for you to discover new, or
older places, people and activities. Of course, you give something back, in
terms of knowledge dissipation and the news-forwarding (that let's face it, you
would do either way) to your own social community. Simple, rewarding, efficient
and very effective. The latter I mean as an ad-delivery platform (that can be
also focused, well-targeted, and potentially measurable). It is good for
business whether you are a local, craving to get to know your city, or a
foreign traveler, starving for that special experience.
A short but concise
description, in their own words : "Daily Secret is a free daily email that
makes life just that much more interesting. Each weekday we send you a secret about
your favorite city. Whether it's a picnic spot in a forgotten park downtown, an
impromptu dance lesson in an open square, or a cocktail in a secret back room,
our secrets help you discover those special experiences you never knew existed
but now can't live without. Want to hear something crazy? Daily Secret didn't
start as a business. In fact, it began as a "good karma" project in
mid-crisis Athens , Greece as a way to remind people
what they love about their city. It wasn't too long before we realized that
cities all over the world were starving for a daily dose of positive energy.
Twenty-two cities later... well, the rest (as they say) is history." And
that is the story more-or-less.
