Hands-On Hello
Interactive invites and greeting cards enhance social exchangesImplications - Consumers today are often so distracted that if something isn't engaging, it's often ignored. This applies to things like invitations and greeting cards -- the more interesting and interactive they are, the better. As such, many people are going all out when it comes to creating a unique wedding invitation or greeting. From word searches to scannable cards and those that are scented for effect, the number of interactive and engaging communication methods is increasing. And while this particular trend relates to consumer-to-consumer exchanges, a better understanding of the impact of interactivity is something from which all marketers can benefit. [More]

Converta-Tech
Innovations that augment and convert existing gadgetsImplications - For those tech brands who aren't Apple, Google, Samsung or the like, it can be hard to make it in the competitive and fast-paced tech industry. Rather than trying to create a copycat smartphone or tablet, many brands are instead producing devices that work to enhance, convert or function with an existing device -- for example, camera attachments that enhance iPhone photography and keyboards that can be attached to tablets to convert them into mini laptops. This direction in "converta-tech" allows for a whole new wave of tech brands to come to the fore with options and extras to make current consumer electronics even better. [More]
