2012 trends are trending - 16 Jan 2012

We're sliding into the third week of the year already and if you haven't seen our trend reports for 2012 yet - where have you been? Last week Steve Cragg gave us 12 FMCG social, digital, mobile trends; Andre Redelinghuys told us what to expect from another tough year; Martin Rose predicted the growth of online business; and today, Greg Whitfield looks into loyalty programme trends. And with November's retail trade growth figures due out on Wednesday, economists are pitching in a wide range of predictions too.

Go forth and trend!
