Trendwatching tips & Insights

the article below is reprinted from trendwatching and is part of a long series <img src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/h-whatisatrend.gif" style="width: 384px; height: 31px;" /> <img height="251" src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/graph.gif" width="406" /> How about: “A statistically significant change in performance of measured data which is unlikely to be due to a random variation in the process.” That won't get the creative juices going. So consider the following definition, which we (trendwatching.com) came up with years ago and which still holds pretty well: A manifestation of something that has unlocked or newly serviced an existing (and hardly ever changing) consumer need,* desire, want, or value. At the core of this statement is the assumption that human beings, and thus consumers, don’t change that much. Their deep needs remain the same, yet can be unlocked or newly serviced. The ‘unlockers’ can be anything from changes in societal norms and values, to a breakthrough in technology, to a rise in prosperity. Example? One of the core human needs is to be in control, or at least to have the illusion of being in control. No wonder then, that the online world is so addictive. After all, it firmly puts the individual in the driver’s seat. Just give it a try: apply the above definition to your daily spottings and observations of how consumers behave, and how that behaviour is forever changing, and you will find that many seemingly unconnected business success stories will start to make sense. Successful innovations often satisfy existing, dormant needs in new and attractive ways. * P.S. Need to brush up on your knowledge of human needs? Re-reading <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs">Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs</a> never hurts. <img src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/h-commonmisperceptions.gif" style="width: 375px; height: 30px;" /> It’s hard to find two people who share the same language when it comes to trend watching. Here are a few common misperceptions. Not complete by far, so add your own: <img src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/karl.jpg" style="width: 401px; height: 284px;" /> <img align="bottom" height="12" src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/bullet-red.gif" width="12" /> Predicting next year’s colours. Trend watching is about more than spotting the next colour, fabric or hot designer. Sure, black may be back, and miniskirts may re-conquer the catwalks in 2009, but the consumer arena is infinitely more complicated than that. In other words, fashion in all its variety, excitement, and pioneering business models is just another part of the world of consumer trends. In no way does it define consumer trends. <img height="210" src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/ball.jpg" width="185" /> <img align="bottom" height="12" src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/bullet-red.gif" width="12" /> Gazing into a crystal ball. Trend watching isn't about ‘hard-core’ futurism, either. Better leave gazing into a crystal ball, predicting what's going to happen 15 to 20 years from now, to futurists and scenario planning departments. Trend watching is about observing and understanding what’s already happening, the major and the minor, the mainstream and the fringe. In our case in the consumer and business arena. <img src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/pizzakono.jpg" style="width: 407px; height: 169px;" /> <img align="bottom" height="12" src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/bullet-red.gif" width="12" /> Declaring the pizza cone an emerging consumer trend. We still get asked a million times about how to distinguish between trends and fads. A pizza cone is a fun product, but it won’t dramatically change the consumer arena. At most, it’s yet another manifestation that consumers want convenience no matter what. The latter is the trend. The product isn’t. <img src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/hsbc.jpg" style="width: 403px; height: 250px;" /> <img align="bottom" height="12" src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/bullet-red.gif" width="12" /> Applying all trends to all people. Don’t fall for this one. One massive mistake both trend spotters and brands make all the time, is to assume or pretend that a certain consumer trend will affect or be embraced by ALL consumers. No. Remember, in life and in trends: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The above HSBC ad illustrates it well. Whatever catches your fancy while spotting and tracking trends, please remember that not everything applies to everyone, and that virtually every trend has its anti-trend. Furthermore, the new doesn’t always kill the old. E-commerce may be booming, but real world retail is far from dead. Has the latter changed? Sure. But take one look at excited shoppers and <a href="http://www.trendwatching.com/trends/trysumers.htm" target="_blank">TRYSUMERS</a> spending hours in Apple’s flagship store in New York and it becomes clear that both online and offline retail have many years of innovation and opportunity ahead of them. In trends, always try to figure out what the ‘AND’ is, not just the ‘OR’, and your trend (and opportunity) spotting skills will improve immensely. <img src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/science.jpg" style="width: 405px; height: 204px;" /> <img align="bottom" height="12" src="http://www.trendwatching.com/img/briefing/2007-09/bullet-red.gif" width="12" /> Those who watch trends have to possess some rare kind of intuition. Not true. This isn't brain surgery, nor is it rocket science. Observing the world around you, with an open mind, is something many professionals have unlearned, but not something they aren’t born with. If you want to spot trends, you can.

A new weekly component to <a href="http://blog.thisnext.com/">their blog</a>, I'm the first to get the honor. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPwLdGfKgbvRqv6fqkJTJBaJSEFW0iI2Uqd6qGWoTdhbYNN6LuvQpCy-b0Dj8tm3TB2AnHc81ILfQND171yXhPcg21gpziOmZO-1Xn3zebB_O1nPCqCy9D0VYMSrBgasyrnRMEm4LL1BpQ/s1600-h/Picture+5.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083153596024580530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPwLdGfKgbvRqv6fqkJTJBaJSEFW0iI2Uqd6qGWoTdhbYNN6LuvQpCy-b0Dj8tm3TB2AnHc81ILfQND171yXhPcg21gpziOmZO-1Xn3zebB_O1nPCqCy9D0VYMSrBgasyrnRMEm4LL1BpQ/s400/Picture+5.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> If you don't know about This Next (www.thisnext.com) by now, you should. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtUpTerTwUn1rswzshkm28Je2Hs0uk3zIkALk6SvYJs7cDMEAi80PFHtAU0FTnRVRytD5koLP9-lyELWAp9c1fvxmOGC_aPqle5hXe9qebiejioI5al-8BQ4GQEAy-66B6oIHTEo9T6gGa/s1600-h/Picture+7.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083145014679923026" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtUpTerTwUn1rswzshkm28Je2Hs0uk3zIkALk6SvYJs7cDMEAi80PFHtAU0FTnRVRytD5koLP9-lyELWAp9c1fvxmOGC_aPqle5hXe9qebiejioI5al-8BQ4GQEAy-66B6oIHTEo9T6gGa/s400/Picture+7.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> As explained on their own site:------------------------------------------------- ThisNext is a shopcasting network where people can discover, recommend and share products and services they love. In the real world, we rely on the people around us to sort out what we should buy. Brand marketing hype is too loud, too confusing. Tech specs are too complicated, confounding and time consuming to sort through. Our site is a way to answer online a question we ask those around us every day, “What do you use?” Buying things that are better suited to our individual lifestyles makes life better. We want to help people live the good life, whatever that means to them. The ThisNext Blog is a place where we identify bloggers and trends whose work aligns with our goal of helping communities unite, express who they are and find products that will help them live more happily and easily. Our blog will also cover shopcasting on ThisNext. Curious about what’s being picked, who’s picking it and why? Want to know why we’re doing something (or why we aren’t doing something)? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I actually found out about thisnext.com before it was up and running from a friend of mine who was in contact with one of the founders, Craig Ogg. I have since Craig as well as CEO Gordon Gould, the other founder. Terrific, personable visionaries. I have also had the great fortune to meet some other members of their team, including their fabu PR Diva, Nicole. Their bloggers and staff are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqkkvMQugCM5C7qBkr7vriKzCm_2GT5Ekm47mS-nzpqSw7wVpxSg6qFfkjgkLzLn47DgSVMolEPXDXIKXDrnzOZSYh03bajKO6PHInYHS3jQykXzhLb3cExbBgUWpMUbjGMyooL2dFSEni/s1600-h/thisnext-team.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083143442721892626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqkkvMQugCM5C7qBkr7vriKzCm_2GT5Ekm47mS-nzpqSw7wVpxSg6qFfkjgkLzLn47DgSVMolEPXDXIKXDrnzOZSYh03bajKO6PHInYHS3jQykXzhLb3cExbBgUWpMUbjGMyooL2dFSEni/s400/thisnext-team.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> Above: the hardworking team of This Next <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/company/news-and-quotes/">They have received impressive press you can view by clicking here.</a> The name for my blog actually stemmed from my first list of products for This Next. "If It's Hip, It's Here" was the first thing that came to mind once I started posting objects, art and services that I felt were worth sharing. Since then, I have created many 'lists' of cool and hip products on This Next. <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/by/laurasweet/lists/">16 lists, to be exact. </a> Lists that range from things like <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/list/C6440F2F/Shop-or-Ill-shoot-Gun-shaped">"Shop or I'll Shoot: Gun Shaped Stuff"</a> to <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/list/50B63433/Put-that-down-Thats-my-grandma">"Put That Down, That's My Grandma; Modern Cremation Urns"</a> and lists that are really useful like my <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical">"Fancy Friggen Flooring and Radical Rugs" list</a> and my <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/list/C4D51643/THE-DISH-ON-DISHES">The Dish on Dishes</a> list Some of which have received press from other hot sites (like www.notcot.org) and many of which I've covered in my own blog. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8NUE2kVkYVrBbAgL0bOxTJiQXZvM5fCRw9Fo8L24Vzi1BibBlGvhfDRcW8rR8HXjU9GpkXwuZhxoXCXdZRFXBllZXQgcUj8jdl882bpzRUM_pfjPkIEDrRXswaS0lfMxaA3qcLSNawbL9/s1600-h/mystuffonnotcot.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083148399114152338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8NUE2kVkYVrBbAgL0bOxTJiQXZvM5fCRw9Fo8L24Vzi1BibBlGvhfDRcW8rR8HXjU9GpkXwuZhxoXCXdZRFXBllZXQgcUj8jdl882bpzRUM_pfjPkIEDrRXswaS0lfMxaA3qcLSNawbL9/s400/mystuffonnotcot.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> above: My Gun Shaped stuff as seen on NOTCOT.org I add to the lists almost daily, so if you need to know <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/list/B798FC7F/Death-Becomes-You-cool-things">the latest and greatest things with skulls</a> or <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/list/163A93E4/Aquariums-that-rock">aquariums that rock</a>, links to all the lists can be found at the right in my side bar. As of today, here are my personal stats on this next: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNDqzqwFEvfl0Sj9joSCkmD7-zLqeZZbWft4V-xKY3sozf4RhcY9wSf-qJ3XFMzazj4oXY11rEcPJCoLqxwGAc-J2upIboBjsmVcZGYCV2bU-E91GcURNJfLXvlEHlzdVXYfG2gsyvhdg2/s1600-h/Picture+4.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083144061197183266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNDqzqwFEvfl0Sj9joSCkmD7-zLqeZZbWft4V-xKY3sozf4RhcY9wSf-qJ3XFMzazj4oXY11rEcPJCoLqxwGAc-J2upIboBjsmVcZGYCV2bU-E91GcURNJfLXvlEHlzdVXYfG2gsyvhdg2/s400/Picture+4.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a> So, perhaps the above is actual 'proof' that I am a trendsetter, no? Okay, well then at least I'm someone who spends waaaay too much time on the web. At least I've done all the "searching for what's hip" legwork for you.....
