# Crowdsourced Home Shopping Sites Honeyshed By Sandra Winn | Published 2008-11-22 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hip-self-product-promotion-sites-honeyshed References: [adweek.blogs](http://adweek.blogs.com/adfreak/2008/11/honeyshed-trying-hard-to-find-some-friends-.html) & [honeyshed](http://honeyshed.com/) You’ll find celebrity guests doing fun promotions and see “next-to-unheard-of designers” and unique boutique entrepreneurs over at Honeyshed, an awesome and relatively new [interactive and digital home shopping website](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-live). You can shop, rate products, see videos of up-and-coming designers and inventors, and upload your own product segments to [promote them on social sites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youtube-shopping). I think the site is great and entertaining. Honeyshed offers an opportunity for [new designers and entrepreneurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartcustomer) to get their names publicized to the whole world, and well-known companies can promote their products too. Many of the amateur segments are great to watch. It’s amazing how talented people are despite not being in the hands of a director. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Crowdsourced Home Shopping:** Opportunity for businesses to leverage user-generated content and promote their products in an interactive and engaging way. - **Celebrity Collaborations:** Opportunity for businesses to collaborate with celebrities and influencers to increase product reach and visibility. - **Up-and-coming Designers:** Opportunity for businesses to discover and promote talented, yet undiscovered designers and entrepreneurs through crowdsourcing. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Apparel:** Crowdsourced home shopping can provide a platform for fashion and apparel businesses to showcase their products and collaborate with designers and influencers. - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Crowdsourced home shopping can be used in the beauty and cosmetics industry to promote new products and get customer feedback in real-time. - **Home Decor:** Crowdsourced home shopping can be used by home decor businesses to showcase unique and innovative designs and receive customer feedback and ideas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Video-Based E-Commerce Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wayfair-on-air.md) - [Shoppable Virtual Beach Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jcrew-virtual-beach-house.md) - [Curated Home Decor Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-decor-for-home.md) - [Curated Live Fashion Resale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posh-party-live.md) - [Fashion Discovery Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hangr.md) - [Experiential Shopping Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sune.md) - [Luxury Recommerce Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hewi.md) - [Live Shopping Flagships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outlandish.md) - [Social Good eCommerce Directories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/socially-minded-companies.md)
