In the December 25th edition of People Magazine they reviewed some of the trends of 2006:

• Crocs
• Skinny jeans
• Skulls
• Next generation video games
• YouTube
• Black nail polish
• T.M.X. Elmos
• And even breaking off a relationship on FaceBook.com or MySpace.com by changing your relationship status from "in a committed relationship" to "single"

One of the biggest trends that impacted businesses and consumers in 2006 was "going green."

Al Gore has created a whole new career; movie maker and touring speaker, out of his documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

Companies are spending more time, dollars and focus on "going green" with their products and processes.

Before you close the doors on 2006, spend a little time reviewing the past year for new trends or directions in your industry.

Have the desires of your target prospect changed? Should you?
