Trend Newsletter New Year Special Edition

Dear Readers;

A year full of challenges is coming to an end. In a few days the new year will come, a different new years eve from the other ones, in a year that changed our way of living, of doing business, of meeting, of travelling, of interacting…

Let’s remember what we managed to achieve in 2020, and let’s look forward a fresh 2021 that, we hope, will bring all that you desire, both in life and in business.

With those wishes, we prepared the last and not least "Trend Newsletter" of the year as the "New Year Special" edition that you might enjoy reading while saying goodbye to 2020.

Time to unwind and connect with families and friend's (Virtually in most cases). Welcome 2021; be thankful and hope 2021 will bring you all happiness and success. Stay Safe and Healthy... See you in 2021... A happy and bright new year to everyone!

- THE FEATURED COLOR OF NEW YEAR -

"ELECTRIC MAGENTA"

The Key colours of Autumn-Winter 21/22 have been released in collaboration with WGSN and Coloro!

For this period of change and unpredictability, where colours are more important than ever in design, tones that have a strong presence and appeal to various moods were chosen.

Electric Magenta, one of the key colours of Autumn-Winter 21/22, adds an unrealistic interpretation to berry tones as if they were created on a computer. Although it may seem like an unusual shade for the Autumn-Winter period, the fact that Electric Magenta is only a few shades away from the more classic red and burgundy tones makes it unexpectedly associated with the season.

Electric Magenta, which is predicted to be at the forefront especially in women's party wear, jersey, knitwear and sportswear, will also appear in beauty products.

It seems that it will have a strong effect on printed and graphic products in men's clothing too.

MOST-READ ARTICLE OF 2020: HOW CUSTOMERS DECIDE WHAT TO BUY

The article published in July by Alistair Rennie and Jonny Protheroe, who works on Google's consumer analysis team, describing their latest research on customers' decision-making processes, was the most read article on Think with Google. According to the article, consumers seek information about products and brands in one category and then throw "weight" on all options. This assignment brings the mind modes of “discovery”, which is an expansionist activity, and “evaluation”, which is a reductionist activity, into balance. Every action that consumers make in resources such as search engines, social media, and comment sites is classified in one of these two modes of mind, so going back and forth in the cycle between these two modes affects consumers' purchasing decisions.

The 6 most important weighting factors that affect the purchasing decision are listed as follows:

1. Category Finders: Description areas with important characteristics of the product can make purchasing decisions simple.

2. The Power of Now: The longer the expected time for the product to be purchased, the lower the power of the offer to be given by the consumer.

3. Social Proof: The suggestions and comments of other consumers have a big impact on the purchase.

4. Weighting of Scarcity: As the stock amount of products decreases and becomes difficult to find, the demand for that product increases.

5. Authorized Weighting: The recommendation of an expert or a reliable source increases the probability of purchase.

6. The Power of Free: A gift given with the purchased product, even if it seems unrelated, can be a powerful source of motivation for the purchase.

PANTONE ANNOUNCES THE COLORS OF 2021

Pantone Color Institute, which announces the upcoming year's trend colour in December every year, made a first for 2021 by choosing two colours at once: Ultimate Gray and Illuminating! According to Pantone, these colours symbolize the two ends that the entire world has witnessed in recent months. Illuminating, which is one of the colours chosen with the help of science branches such as psychology, sociology and economics in order to reflect the present time in the best way, represents the hope, happiness and the memories that make us smile in bad times with the soft tone of yellow, while Ultimate Gray, one of the most known shades of grey, may seem like a pessimistic tone but also stands out as a symbol of not giving up, striving and being resilient. At the same time, the selection of these two colours together is described by Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of Pantone: “When the grey clouds are dispersed, we see sunshine.”

Illuminating and Ultimate Gray, which reflect the duality we are in 2020, seem to be frequently encountered in many areas from fashion to decoration in the new year.

Illuminating: PANTONE 13-0647

Ultimate Gray: PANTONE 17-5104
