Pop-Uptailing
Retailers use temporary concepts to create fast brand awareness
Cluster Pop: 5.4
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.

Unservice
Self-serve establishments save money by giving customers control
Cluster Pop: 6.6
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.

Fashion
Peacocking
Neon statement fashion proves subtly is overrated & boldness is in
Cluster Pop: 7.4
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.

Marketing
Youvertising
Letting consumers aid in marketing and branding products
Cluster Pop: 5.7
Implications - Consumer-reliant advertising describes companies that are involving the customer in the marketing process.
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.

Pop Culture
Glamorized Awkward
Online caricaturing is considered en vogue
Cluster Pop: 7.4
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.

(UPDATE)
Cluster Pop: 6.4
Customization adds a deeper feeling of ownership
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.

Rental Culture (UPDATE)
The credit-crunch compromise for consumerism
Cluster Pop: 4.8
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.

Life Swapping
Bartering and trading for a comfortable lifestyle on a budget
Cluster Pop: 5
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.

Budget alternatives to pricey originals
Cluster Pop: 6.5
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.
