Greetings! Nostalgia is a quality in modern products and services that can strike the right cord with almost any consumer. Brands that deliver nostalgia in a range of products and services will likely succeed by tapping into two generations of consumers. The PRO Trend Corrupted Nostalgia, being featured this week, explores the ways childhood interests can be transformed to appeal to more mature audiences. Darker versions of Disney characters or evil cartoon princesses expand the appeal of brands traditionally reserved for younger markets. Enjoy! Jeremy Gutsche, Chief Trend Hunter (@jeremygutsche) P.S.
