Mistaken Identity
Article Abstract:
Companies have become increasingly more sophisticated in their methods of forecasting trends. Companies must separate trends from fads in order to ensure new product success. Five guidelines are given in question format to help marketers make the distinction between trends and fads. These include determining whether or not the new development is consistent with basic trends in values and lifestyles and whether the development is consistent with other related developments. Current trends in health and fitness are analyzed as examples.
