Greetings! A Trend Hunter Proposal - On a personal note, I found myself faced with the exciting challenge of how to propose to the woman of my dreams. The problem was that she's also a Trend Hunter, so I knew I needed a creative twist. To win her over, I recreated our life story using Ugly Dolls, a counter-culture innovation with its own romantic back-story. If you want to see what a Trend Hunter needs to do to propose, check out the cute little video (and thanks to Shelby for saying yes!): On a trend note, today's chaotic world demands simplicity, order and organization. This week's featured PRO Trend -- Tech-Assisted Tracking -- hones in on a brand's ability to deliver these three things to consumers. While this PRO Trend focuses exclusively on high-tech tracking devices, the sense of control and peace of mind they give to consumers applies to all industries. Consumers shop more consciously today and want to know their investments are worthwhile and protected. Enjoy! Jeremy Gutsche, Chief Trend Hunter (@jeremygutsche) P.S.
