Pop-Uptailing Retailers use temporary concepts to create fast brand awareness : : : : : : : : : : Alcoholic Architecture Pop-Up T-Shirt Shops Street but Chic Pop-Up Shops Social Experience ArtPirate Pop-Up ShopsInstantaneous Wedding Establishments40410 45931 50449 49414 51451 45156 Apr / 5.5 Jun / 5.4 Aug / 4.4 Jul / 4.1 Aug / 3.1 Jun / 3.1 Pop Culture Pop-Up Shops High Fashion Pyramids Mobile Retail Displays Gold-Plated Pop-Up BarsMovie-Inspired Retail DisplaysPop-Up Art Bars56020 46387 55492 46481 53802 45236 Oct / 8.2 Jun / 6.6 Oct / 6.3 Jun / 6.3 Sep / 6.1 Jun / 5.6 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. Business Cluster Pop: 5.4 10. Unservice Self-serve establishments save money by giving customers control 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. Self-Service Hotels 52500 Sep / 8.4 : : : Self Serve Nightclubs Convenient Canine Cleaning In-Store Online Shopping 41721 35344 54561 May / 7.7 Feb / 7.0 Sep / 5.4 : Self-Serve Pubs 50066 Aug / 4.3 Business Cluster Pop: 6.6 11. Peacocking Neon statement fashion proves subtly is overrated & boldness is in : : : : : : : : : Fluorescent Fashion Kid Couture Timepieces Neon Printed Eyewear Personalized Neon ClocksNeon Menswear43585 44880 43767 39302 44535 May / 6.3 Jun / 6.0 May / 5.3 Apr / 4.9 Jun / 4.8 Kaleidoscope Kissers Electric Fashiontography Neon Men's Fashion Contorted ShoetographyNeon 90's TV FashionNeon Fashiontography44626 41076 38348 42448 44150 44566 Jun / 10.0 Apr / 10.0 Mar / 9.8 May / 8.6 Jun / 8.3 Jun / 6.8 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. Fashion Cluster Pop: 7.4 12.

When consumers have an input on a product and feel they have contributed to the advertising process, they feel a kinship with the brand; crowdsourcing fuels brand loyalty. Marketing Cluster Pop: 5.7 13.

While political correctness stands strong in many areas, the public is finding amusement in the edge of political incorrectness. Pop Culture Cluster Pop: 7.4 14.

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. Art Cluster Pop: 6.4 15. Rental Culture (UPDATE) The credit-crunch compromise for consumerism : : : : : : : : : Renting People Renting Fine Art Credit Crunch Cycling Promos Rental Car RalliesCivilian Rental Bling44706 39859 45703 44157 51635 Jun / 4.6 Apr / 4.0 Jun / 3.7 Jun / 3.3 Aug / 3.0 Celebrity Home Rentals $2 An Hour Rental Cars Grandmas for Rent Rockin' Instrument RentalsBaby Toy RentalsMobile Phone Rentals39774 33093 37182 43928 55804 35648 Apr / 6.9 Jan / 5.7 Mar / 5.6 May / 5.5 Oct / 5.3 Feb / 5.3 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. Business Cluster Pop: 4.8 16. Life Swapping Bartering and trading for a comfortable lifestyle on a budget : : : : : : : : Credit Crunch Art Swapping Free Book Exchanges Cashing in On Gift Cards Creative House Swaps39323 40073 53846 49029 Apr / 5.0 Apr / 4.6 Sep / 3.1 Jul / 3.0 Bartering Brides Beer Bartering Facebook House Swaps Abandoning CurrencyVirtual Closet SwapsCredit Crunch Hair Selling56166 40304 56004 35357 54998 35683 Oct / 6.6 Apr / 6.3 Oct / 5.5 Feb / 5.4 Oct / 5.1 Feb / 5.1 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. Business Cluster Pop: 5 17.

Consumers are becoming more creative and open-minded, actively seeking ways around restrictions and becoming open to budget-friendly compromises. Business Cluster Pop: 6.5 18.
