Illuminated Dry-Erase Clocks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Never Forget an Appointment with the Written Reminder Alarm Clock

— February 10, 2014 — Art & Design
The Written Reminder Alarm Clock is a clever way to make sure you don't forget any important appointments you have first thing in the morning.

The Written Reminder Alarm Clock is similar in many ways to your traditional alarm clock: it displays 12/24-hour time, it can switch to year/date, it provides the room temperature and it has different alarm noises. However, what truly sets the Written Reminder Alarm Clock from your garden variety alarm clock is the dry erase board integrated into the clock. Simply use the included blue-ink dry-erase pen to jot down your notes or appointments, and watch as it glows when the alarm goes off or you tap the board.

You no longer have to leave post-it notes and hope that the person sees it when they wake up in the morning; with the Written Reminder Alarm Clock, they'll definitely get your message.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Alarm Clocks - Opportunities for integrating new technologies and features into the classic alarm clock format, such as a dry-erase board for reminders.
2. Connected Home Devices - Emerging demand for connected devices that help with daily scheduling and productivity, such as an alarm clock that syncs with other smart home systems.
3. Eco-friendly Products - A shift towards sustainable materials and manufacturing methods for home products like alarm clocks, including those with dry-erase features.
Industry Implications
1. Home Goods - Companies can create new products or enhance existing ones by adding smart technology and sustainable features for everyday use in the home, like an illuminated dry-erase clock.
2. Tech - There is a growing market for smart home devices, including alarm clocks, that integrate with other technologies and support daily productivity and scheduling needs.
3. Office Supplies - Companies can innovate in the office supplies market by offering eco-friendly, multi-functional products that help increase productivity and organization, such as an illuminated dry-erase clock with alarms.
