What is the Generalized Progress trend?
Generalized Progress: Today's consumer is more conscious than those of the past, and is acutely aware of whether a product or service is conducive to their personal betterment. Services that provide an opportunity to increase non-specific life skills satiate this need. The lack of specification highlights the idea that consumers are looking to improve the self for the sake of betterment, not as a means to an end in terms of their career or status.
