Trendspotting 2009: Ideas, Markets And Opportunities Ripe For The Entrepreneurial Taking

(Irvine, CA) December 2, 2008 – In the December issue on newsstands, Entrepreneur magazine identifies the trends that spell opportunity for those eager to make their companies soar in today’s economy. The magazine gives entrepreneurs a leg up on watching and developing ideas for new market needs, demands and expectations.

Everything from staying green to minding health, ideas that reach the millennial and boomer markets, needs in the market spurred by a down economy, and web tools and technologies, are revealed in the issue.

For the savvy entrepreneur, each trend offers boundless opportunity, whether it’s with creating exer-toys, making fit food, taking on boomer projects (everything from financial planning to travel), starting a coupon blog site, consulting for Web 2.0 services, organifying food and clothes, performing energy audits or designing green landscapes.

“What our readers know is that in any economy, at any time, there is opportunity,” says Amy Cosper, VP/editor-in-chief at Entrepreneur. “You just have to seize the moment, and right now that means things like business coaching, credit and debt management, discount retail shops, and IT and tech services. We give entrepreneurs a consortium of ideas they can lift right off the page and implement or customize for their own businesses.”
