Business Trends for 2008
By businessbroad | December 30, 2007
While it can be hard to pick out the upcoming trends in things like fabric patterns and decor, some things are easy to figure out. For instance, 2008 marks the first major wave of baby boomer retirement. That means there are a lot of old people, and that’s only going to increase. So, if it works for your store, you could start offering products related to aging.
Here are a few of my thoughts:
-Items that make life easier for people with arthritis and fibromyalgia.
-Items that help people with impaired vision - giant remotes, magnifying lenses, etc.
-Religious items
-Affordable convenience items like remote control holders for chairs, shelves that go inside cabinets
What are your thoughts? How would you reach the elderly market?
