Top 10 Small Business Trends For 2010

Here at the Scheinfeld Center, we'd like to think we have our finger on the pulse of the local business community - but so much so that we would put ourselves out there with predictions for business trends in 2010?  We decided to take the risk and be proved wrong later!  After all, we are entrepreneurs and are willing to step off the cliff now and again.  So, at the risk of making fools of ourselves, here goes:

10. More Pet Pampering Products
9. Cheap & Chic: Offering discounted but stylish products, services and pricing that make "Cheap Chic."
8. Cloud Computing
7. Surge in Innovative Liquors
6. Electronic Medical Record Storage and Services
5. Green Energy Businesses
4. More Green Car Purchases
3. Local Food & Product Consumption Surge: Emphasis on 100 mile radius consumption
2. Rise in "Accidental Entrepreneurs":  Stay at home moms and out of work folks will start their own businesses out of necessity.
1. Geo-Based Electronic Marketing  iPhone apps

Happy New Year!
