"Chaos Creates Opportunity" - 2011 will create tremendous opportunity for those companies able to identify emerging trends. Disney, CNN, MTV, Hyatt, Burger King, FedEx, Microsoft, Apple, Fortune, GE, and Hewlett-Packard are just a few of the companies founded during periods of economic recession. Dramatic change and simple evolution give birth to new consumer needs and market trends. Our 2010 / 2011 Trend Reports and Trend Hunter PRO subscription are the MOST in-depth, crowdsourced, measured collection of these cutting edge ideas.
Exploiting Chaos - To help you get the most of your 2010 / 2011 Trend Report, we're sending each PRO member a signed copy of EXPLOITING CHAOS, Jeremy Gutsche's award-winning book. One of Inc Magazine's Best Books for Business Owners, CEO Read's Books to Watch, and the Gold Medal Axiom Book Award Winner, Exploiting Chaos has been featured in BusinessWeek, BNN, The National Post, CBC, City TV, and Fast Company. The book will teach you how to leverage trends and innovation to filter noise, harness trends and unleash opportunity.
To get you inspired, we've also released a free video of the Top 20 Trends in 2010; a collection of our favorite patterns in the 2010 Trend Report. The trends include: Rental Culture, Unservice, Peacocking, Half Formal, Prodependence, Not-So-Tricky Picky, DIY Healthcare, Nostalgia Marketing, Crowdsourced Campaigns, Exposed Vulnerabilty, Simpletising, Ecopolitan, Greenpliances, Nomadabodes, Pop-Uptailing, Life-Swapping, DIY Décor and Next Besting.
What is a PRO Trend?
A PRO Trend is a cluster of inspiration, the result of crowd-filtering micro-trends to uncover unique patterns. A PRO Trend differs from a micro-trend in that it offers a broader, more macro view of key patterns in today’s marketplace, which can help stimulate new ideas for innovation and strategy.
What's the difference between an example and a related example?
Each PRO Trend features examples chosen by our Trend Research team that are considered to be immediately relevant to the trend. We also provide up to 40 related examples to help you spark creativity even further.
Are the industry trend reports different from the regular trend report?
The regular trend report is a full compilation of the individual industry reports. Because it is such a large report, we have broken it down by industry to make it easier for you to locate trends that are relevant to your brand. Note that inspiration can come from many different areas so it is still beneficial to look at industries outside of your own.
How do you identify your trends?
Unlike other trend report services, Trend Hunter uses Crowdsourced Insight™ to uncover patterns in the market. We have the largest trend spotting network crowdsourcing thousands of ideas each month. To uncover “the best” trends—the PRO trends—we crowd filter our database of 70,000+ micro-trends and group them into meaningful patterns that have the potential to spark innovation.
Why is it better to be crowdsourced?
Crowdsourcing allows us to take ideas directly from our community of trend spotters. Because this lets the consumer’s voice shine through, it provides a more accurate representation of market interests. The large amount of ideas and information made possible through crowdsourcing is also a unique advantage that cannot be met through traditional market research methods.
Why is it so important to ALSO be crowd-filtered?
The vast number of ideas derived from crowdsourcing only becomes useful to businesses when they are organized into relevant patterns. Trend Hunter crowd-filters its 70,000+ micro-trends, leveraging millions of views to uncover “the best” ideas determined by community choice and popularity. Thus, only the most crowd-relevant ideas and patterns are exposed.
What are the 'extras' that come with the combo subscription?
Along with the 2010 / 2011 Trend Reports and PRO Trends database access, the combo subscription gives you a complete Innovation Tool Kit including:
- PowerPoint flashcards with tips on how to leverage trends and spark innovation
- A signed copy of Exploiting Chaos, the award-winning innovation book by Trend Hunter CEO Jeremy Gutsche
- $1500 discount towards any Trend Hunter Innovation Workshop
How do I figure out what to do with all these trends?
Our combo subscription will help you get the most of all these trends. It includes the 2010 / 2011 Trend Report, with organized presentations by industry, and a complete Innovation Tool Kit with tips on how to leverage trends. We will also give you a discount to any Trend Hunter Innovation Workshop with topics ranging from Culture of Innovation to Reinventing for 2015.
