5 Trends for 2012

Filed under: Tip of the Day

Phew, where did 2011 go? It seems just like yesterday that I was making (and breaking) my new year’s resolution!

Anyway, 2012 is right around the corner and we’re gearing up for a great year. This month’s Counselor magazine has a great article by Betsy Cummings titled “What To Watch For” where she breaks out her crystal ball and predicts the five trends that will impact our industry the most. Check out the article now, and here are the 5 trends:

• Elections Are Local
• Changing Buying Habits
• All About The Brand
• Competition And Pricing Are Fierce
• Customer Service Is King
