“MEGA-TRENDS” … IN THE WAY WE SHOP AND SPEND with Katlean DeMonchy
YOU’VE SEEN THE ADS—YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS: THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME OF THE YEAR FOR THE AMERICAN ECONOMY —AND A TIME TO TAKE NOTICE OF THE “BIG WAVES” …. THE SO-CALLED “MEGA-TRENDS” … IN THE WAY WE SHOP AND SPEND. MORE THIS MORNING FROM THE CO-AUTHOR OF THE POPULAR MEGATRENDS REPORT, KATLEAN DE MONCHY IN NEW YORK. GOOD MORNING, KATLEAN!
KATLEAN ON CAMERA: GOOD MORNING! THIS YEAR WE’RE SEEING A GREAT MIX OF CLASSIC VALUES AND WOW! INNOVATIONS IN OUR MEGATRENDS.
HERE’S one WAY TECHNOLOGY SAVES MONEY.
The SWASH SYSTEM–IT’S A TEN-MINUTE REFRESHER FOR YOUR CLOTHES….IT DE-WRINKLES, GETS RID OF ODORS, RESTORES FIT AND CAN CUT YOUR DRY-CLEANING BILL IN HALF! BY THE TIME YOU’VE GOT YOUR MAKEUP ON, YOUR CLOTHES ARE READY TO GO. THIS IS INNOVATION THAT’S FUNCTIONAL, FABULOUS AND ACTUALLY MAKES YOUR DAY EASIER. ($500, Best Buy, $50 mail in rebate)
Online shopping seems to get cranked up earlier and earlier every year, doesn’t it?
This year, WE’re seeing A SURGE IN SHOPPING AT “reward” SITES LIKE RAKUTEN DOT COM, WHERE YOU GET SUPER POINTS FOR EVERY PURCHASE—POINTS YOU CAN REDEEM ON A FUTURE PURCHASE. THIS IS a truly massive online market, where you can find all of this year’s top toys and other top-sellers in one place.
YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD THE PHRASE “INTERNET OF THINGS,” WHERE EVERYTHING WE WEAR OR USE IS CONNECTED.
FOR EXAMPLE— FITNESS TRACKERS LIKE THESE IFIT Active WEARABLES. THEY are part of a fitness ecosystem that’s connected to the internet. The wearables talk to exercise machines, they store your date in the cloud….
…A wearable that’s part of a bigger fitness system is going to give you more options and more variety to stay motivated.
SINCE IT’S CRYSTAL-BALL TIME, LET’S TAKE A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE OF TELEVISION….AND A NEW SCREEN TECHNOLOGY…
…CALLED O-L-E-D. THIS TOP RATED 55-INCH TV FROM LG HAS AMAZING CONTRAST AND CAN DISPLAY many MORE OF THE COLORS THE HUMAN EYE CAN SEE…. CNET SAYS THIS TV HAS THE BEST PICTURE THEIR REVIEWERS HAVE EVER SEEN. AND IT’S BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT; thin as a pencil with a gorgeous CURVED SCREEN….(price $3,500 if asked YES? last year this technology was over 50k $15K)
FINALLY– DID YOU KNOW THAT THE SCREEN OF A SMARTPHONE IS OFTEN DIRTIER THAN A TYPICAL TOILET?
WHEN I HEARD THAT…. WHOOSH
I LOOKED AROUND FOR A WAY TO KEEP MY SCREENS CLEANER WITHOUT HARMING THEM, AND WE FOUND WHOOSH, WHICH IS A SAFE, NON-TOXIC WAY TO CLEAN, POLISH, AND PROTECT ALL OF YOUR MOBILE DEVICE SCREENS. THERE’S NO HARSH CHEMICALS. IT GIVES YOUR SCREEN A NICE SHINE AND AT SIX TO TWENTY DOLLARS, A PERFECT STOCKING STUFFER. AVAILABLE AT ALL APPLE STORES AND WALMART STORES.
