Today, Aspirations drive demand.
At the core of every trend is an aspiration, a desire that is both universal and personal to each of us. Think of aspirations as those intangibles we always want more of: wellness, time, convenience, space, safety, etc.
In times of social or economic instability, we instinctively favor products and services that deliver on these central needs.
Trends come and go, lifestyles change, technologies advance, but aspirations only… shift. Aspirations are durable. Aspirations follow us through our lives. They form a resilient core that measures and informs our purchase decisions.
