Yes you are right, changes in shopping trends take place very quickly. So that I, as a small business owner, don't stock up on too many products, to avoid losses when they don't sell well. I always monitor the development of market trends through the marketplace/social media.
One attribute that every business person must have is sharp instincts. Yes. I mean instincts. With a sharp business instinct, you can fairly predict the market you are in especially when you have huge experience and know how to adjust your products to match up with the trend.
It is true that a sharp instinct for business people is very important, because he must be able to read opportunities. Which opportunity is suitable for him to adopt so that it can become a profitable business. I adopt a business idea based on what I like, so I am motivated to create it and provide the best service for my customers.
To ensure that it constantly keeps up with the trends in the market, a business needs to develop a robust scheme for engaging with customers. During such engagements, the business would obtain the benefit of learning about upcoming market trends.
Yes, customer needs are changing rapidly. Companies need to conduct market research from time to time to understand the latest trends. Participate in trade shows and see new products launched in the market.
This is one of important questions in IT sector. You are currently best with some tech like PHP but new tech is coming and you must learn it all time, otherwise you will not be able follow requirements. People ask how to manage be best in two things.
Keeping up becomes even more difficult in the tech world because of the frequency of the evolution. And if you don't adapt fast, you are left behind. The case of Nokia is a classic example.
For online businesses it is comparatively easy to get information, many companies are providing information about the popular products which are being sold, offline customer feedback should be considered. Customers ask for the products they want.

That's true its not easy at all, especially for small business owners. When it comes to things like this, it requires you spend in most cases and constant research to make sure you do not fall behind.
In a perfect competition, if you don't respond to changes and trends in the market, the market would force you out of business. You must constantly keep on researching and to know what and how the market wants it as a particular period.
