2020 vision – help needed with charidee consumer trends presentation please
I’m doing a pro bono piece of work for Traidcraft, the UK’s leading fair trade organisation. Its to help the Traidcraft board with their 10 year vision and 3 year strategic plan and the rough title of the presentation they’d like me to give is the customer environment – thinking ten years ahead.
Gulp. I know, looking ten years ahead is a bit of a finger-in-the-air exercise and with a remit that includes UK demographic trends, broad brush consumer trends, shopping behaviours, what we’re likely to be buying (food and non food) in 2020 and ethical consumers, it’s a VERY big ask.
Which is why I’d really like some help. Inspired by Neil crowdsourcing his online communities speech, I asked Traidcraft and they said that they’re happy for me to use this blog to ask if any of you might be able to help me out a little bit with this?
Have you recently stumbled across something interesting on t’interweb that relates to this? Got strong opinions on future shopping behaviors (especially mail order/online)? Are you a keen futurologist in your spare time?
I have to pull this all together in three weeks – if any of you can help out I promise to share the final presentation (minus any commercially sensitive bits) here on the blog and to fully credit anyone’s contribution, however small.
Thankyouverymuch in advance.
