First, let’s define what a trend is.

A trend is something that we could say is current or preferred for certain purposes, so there tends to be a repetition behind it. For example, if your soccer teammate tends to always shoot to the left it is a trend.

Once you have defined a trend and visualize that it is increasing and generating a high influence on your potential customers, that is when you should start planning and implementing that trend in your marketing strategies.

You can be one step ahead, since trends allow us to identify the behavior patterns of consumers or any type of audience to develop a successful business plan that takes advantage of these opportunities.

Why is it important to follow trends?

• Because with trends you will be able to know not only your market but also everything that surrounds it: habits, perceptions, consumer expectations, interests, etc.
• You will be prepared for changes and unforeseen events, having at hand adaptation plans for the business.
• You will have the opportunity to create a marketing strategy that allows you to meet customer needs.

By following them, you will be able to create innovative projects by understanding the context and place of your brand or business in the market.
