INTEGRATING TREND MANAGEMENT WITH PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND SOURCING IS THE NEXT CHALLENGE

Trend Researchers are challenged by the increase of trend cycles. Customers have never been more sophisticated and the entire organization needs to be driven by the latest, greatest trend research NOW. Yesterday is too late and tomorrow has already happened. Trend researchers need new tools to share their research with creatives and sourcing. When trend research is properly leveraged and in the right hands, great product decisions are made and what’s hot stays hot until it hits the retail floor... Trend Management is a core competency for Merchants, Designers and Marketers today.

With the introduction of TREND STUDIO™, Trend Management is elevated to a collaborative partnership between members of the development chain. TREND STUDIO™ brings together people and information and supports key lifecycle stages and processes of product development.

With TREND STUDIO™, product development teams will change the way they work

The entire price/quality /trend timing has become democratic: a great red sweater in cashmere in the high-end department store is available at the same time at the discounter in soft acrylic. The hottest jean line used to come out of Paris. It was ours for the price of a plane ticket and the right contact – an instant bestseller! Today, that store is in Soho and everyone in a design office can walk down the street and be in the know. Anybody notice how much their job has changed? Today companies not only follow the trends they create them. Internal trend offices or design teams are creating trend reports, storyboards and visual inspiration faster then they can distribute them. Without the best content management tools it’s like a big crafts project. Find out in our trend Studio whitepaper how you can leverage the best trend management tools and become an editor and publisher
