Greetings Trend Hunters! Wall Street Journal as the Workplace of the Day - Today, Trend Hunter passed 500,000,000 views, and was featured in the Wall Street Journal as the Workplace of the Day... Check out their story: "An Office as Hip as Its Inhabitants". We hit our 500,000,000 view mark a bit earlier than expected, so my nostalgic memories will have to wait till next week, when we are planning more of a celebration Entrepreneurs - Check out this book! This week, one of my favorite journalists (and a Trend Hunter mentor) is releasing an expanded version of one of my favorite books. The book is Built to Sell, and its stellar author is John Warrillow. If you are an entrepreneur, YOU NEED TO BUY THE BOOK. It's a non-fiction styled novel about a guy who is pondering how to sell his small ad agency. Along the way, one of his mentors teaches him how to make a better company. The lessons are useful even if you don't want to sell your company... and the non-fiction style makes the book a compelling read. He's got a thank you gift going this week where you get a free teleconference, ebook and subscription to Inc if you buy it soon. Renovated Tradition is this week's PRO Trend, with a score of 5.4. The implications: From classic, cozy and independent coffeehouses to “fast food” cafes like Starbucks, coffee shops have evolved tremendously over the last century. Now, coffee-drinkers are turning to contemporary, one-of-a-kind cafes, with some even offering other services—like knitting and pets—along with coffee. These revitalized cafes appeal to the modern caffeine-lover with a specific interest or someone who wants, in addition to a simple cup of joe, an entire experience. Some examples: Eclectic Coffee Shop Redesigns Pop-Up Portable Coffee Shops Hidden Coffee Shops Crafty Cafes Tattoo Tea Parlors Micro Theater Coffee Houses Clothes-Cleaning Cafes Pet Store Cafes Other new PRO Trends include: 1. Live Gaming, 2. Sentimental Sass, 3. Green Streak, 4. Small Indulgence, 5. Bluntvertising, 6. Coutorture, 7. Social Media Therapy, and more. If you're looking to better understand consumer trends, we now have 1,078 PRO Trends with 43,120 examples in our 2011 Trend Reports Enjoy! Jeremy Gutsche, Chief Trend Hunter (@jeremygutsche) P.S.
