Greetings!

This month, the Trend Hunter team is ecstatic to be celebrating a new traffic record of 40,000,000 views. When you add it all up, more than 20 years of total time was spent on our site, this month alone. The exciting part, for us, is the amount of data that we are creating to identify the patterns of opportunity. If you are interested in learning how we can harness this info for your team, send me an email or visit: http://www.trendhunter.com/trendreports.

This week at Trend Hunter, we are featuring pro trends that satisfy a craving for convenience amongst consumers. Consumers today are busier than ever before and as a result, look for products that can seamlessly bring together different aspects of their life into one place. From smartphone apps that control your television to clothing that doubles as a remote control for multimedia, brands are focusing on providing two-in-one products.

Enjoy!
