Labels: Trends for 2010
What other consumer trends should we keep an eye on in 2010? The lengthening shopping cycle we discussed last week hinted at the increasing importance of research as a trend to watch.
Taking a look at category level research trends from the 2009 holiday shopping season, we found that consumers begin researching far in advance of all retail purchases. Consumers are especially cognisant when it comes to electronics, appliance and furnishing purchases.
And, with the increased search volume in the electronics, appliance, and furnishing categories, much of this research will take place online.
Be sure to "stay on" as consumers not only research far in advance but research increasingly online for upcoming seasonal purchases.

Easy way to Earn EUROBONUS!!
Hi Friends,
I am Smita and I am running a Transport Business in Stockholm. I have to travel a lot to meet them generally. So for a long time I was searching for an easy way to fly. Then one of my old school friend who is working with SAS, told me about a fabulous service called UTO (Upgrade Travel Option). SAS has introduced this amazing service with a company named OptionTown. OptionTown is not only giving FRO (Flexibility Reward Option) and UTO with many other airlines. But with SAS they are currently providing only UTO.
Using this service I got upgraded to Business class from Extra Economy class at 70% discount. I was not only upgraded but I also earned EUROBOUNS Points. Thanks to UTO, I have now become a Silver member of SAS. Generally SAS is providing discount of up to 75%. They have a very good upgrade conversion rate. I usually get upgraded 8 times out of 10 attempts.
I am giving the links of those services:
