'Congratulations' and 'Happy Birthday' just didn't cut it for Right On's [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keep-commerce-human) shop. Instead they crafted banners with sayings like, 'I'm not mad', 'Let's Try' and my personal favorite, 'Love it, or leave it.” The great thing about these banners is that they are not just for [special occasions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-bows), but for any occasion. **Implications** - In a contemporary society increasingly obsessed with originality, one of the best ways a brand can ensure their product is noticed is by developing a slightly altered everyday product.
