Trendwatching has taken its crystal ball, thanks to its trendspotters, and identified several consumer trends for 2009 including “LuxYOUry.”
My overall impression is it’s about authentic living and thoughtful consumption. Peruse the list to see how the trends could fit with your goals to make money or start a business. Or even start a new trend!
(What does this photo have to do with trends? Feedback is one of the trends but I only had a feedbag photo on hand.)
My Trend Predictions
- People will rediscover the benefits of communal living and of hanging out in cafes to escape their roommates.
- The barbershop quartet will return to the streets, aided by iPods, as people seek creative ways to make money.
- More people will experience happiness by connecting with other people in person and living in “the now,” unhindered by jobs and material things. (Well one has to find a silver lining!)
