Implications - As products come and go and business partnerships form and dissolve, forming a non-permanent real-life presence has become a logical, effective way to create awareness. Temporary methods that 'pop up' without notice attract costumers with the appeal of exclusivity, newness, and an enticing element of surprise.

Implications - Forward-thinking business are putting some of their labor into the hands of customers, not only saving companies money, but also empowering customers by giving them a sense of independence and creative control. Among demographics that value customization and autonomy, unservice is a win-win for all.

Implications - The neon movement celebrates bright and bold in-your-face color. These neon styles are all about "peacocking" and prove you don't have to spend a lot of money to say "Look at me!" Bold wardrobes are all what you wear, not who you wear. These fashions express that subtly is out, and big and bold is in.

Implications - The glamorization of schadenfreude in the media has spurred much of Western culture to laugh freely at the misfortunes and follies of others, and the Internet is helping this phenomenon pick up steam. While political correctness stands strong in many areas, the public is finding amusement in the edge of political incorrectness.

Implications - The personalization of goods offers a superlative novelty factor as it adds profound relevance to individual consumers. Adding a custom touch, particularly with products that have become popular or widely used, can make items more covetable than those offered by the competition by offering a feeling of augmented ownership.

Implications - Rental culture become a notable trend in 2008, but the recession has turned temporary ownership into a huge business opportunity. Whether it's a trial before investing in something pricey, a taste of something unaffordable, or the ability to fake status, rentals cater to those who want it all, but can't afford it.

Implications - Credit-crunched citizens unwilling to compromise their lifestyles are swapping, bartering and trading their way to desired goods and services. Offering customers the ability to trade instead of pay offers a new way to connect with budgeting customers and can be applied on small or large scales.

Implications - The recession has restricted the ability for some to indulge in certain goods, but a variety of alternatives are popping up to semi-satisfy those desires. Consumers are becoming more creative and open-minded, actively seeking ways around restrictions and becoming open to budget-friendly compromises.
