# Post-It Switch Plates Switch Notes are Strategically Placed Personal Memos By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-06-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switch-notes References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/195801817408345729/Light-Switch-Notes) & [suck.uk](http://www.suck.uk.com/product.php?rangeID=223) You may remember to turn off the lights on your way out the door, but if it wasn't for your stack of tactically stuck Switch Notes, you might have forgotten to pick up your dry-cleaning, or perhaps even a child. Suck UK is selling yet another very simple yet ingenious product designed to keep consumers on the ball. The pad of sticky notes has been shaped to take an elongated form with a rectangular hole in the middle so that it can be fasted fittingly to the switchplate of your overhead light switch. So long as you're in the habit of conserving energy, Switch Notes will prove optimally effective for keeping your chores in check. **Implications** - Despite the notepad and memo apps on smartphones, consumers still appreciate in-your-face messages that crop up on relevant locations. To satisfy this simple need, smartphone application designers may wish to attempt a location-based program for alerts and reminders. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Location-based Alerts:** Designing a location-based program for alerts and reminders on smartphones can satisfy the need for in-your-face messages. - **Sticky Note Innovations:** Creating new products that incorporate the convenience and visibility of sticky notes can provide ingenious solutions for keeping consumers organized and on track. - **Personalized Memo Solutions:** Developing personalized memo products, such as Switch Notes, that can be strategically placed in daily environments can help consumers remember important tasks and appointments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smartphone Applications:** The smartphone application industry can explore the potential of location-based programs for alerts and reminders. - **Office Supplies:** The office supplies industry can innovate by integrating the convenience and effectiveness of sticky notes into various products. - **Home Organization:** The home organization industry can create personalized memo solutions that seamlessly blend into daily environments to help individuals stay organized. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digitized Sticky Note Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memojector.md) - [Note Clip Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-clip.md) - [Convenient Checklist Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checklist-sticky-roll.md) - [Reusable Magnetic Sticky Notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note.md) - [Space-Saving Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacesaving-desk-lamp.md) - [Digital Sticky Reminders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friendlystack-reminder.md) - [Socket-Concealing Light Switches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l1-switch-system.md) - [Digital Productivity Desk Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-accessory-concept.md) - [Digital Sticky Note Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-sticky-notes.md)
