- There will be a breakout collectible item that will hit across generational groups and will become a fast-burning yet Billion Dollar opportunity - think the new Beanie Babies.
- The concepts of pure and rare will become closely tied to the real - such as live gatherings, live music, live comedy.
- A premium will be accepted for good design - we already get this with brands such as Apple and and Method, but will also get it in new and unexpected places.
- Anything vintage will be valuable - we already see this with Vinyl music and we'll see it with film, art, toys, design, and other creative outlets that have been recently consumed by the digital domain.
- The real estate and automobile industries will experience a rapid comeback - beating all expectations - what's more real than the home and the ride?
All of these predictions are quite positive and will benefit from riding the economic-recovery wave. They represent opportunities large and small that will offer a significant, yet temporary revival for all that is tangible.
