Implications - The allure behind retro revival products stems from memory and a sense of nostalgia for products that, though not the most technologically advanced, represent a point in consumers' lives that was likely more simple. There is a strong emotional connection between adults and things from their childhood that can easily be capitalized on by companies looking to do more than serve a demographic, but establish themselves as a go-to.
