Your Thoughts
"Clicking is a study of business and life trends.
The author identifies a series of trends that may affect consumer buying habits
and gives readers an opportunity to examine their own business and identify how
a business can be positioned to take advantage of those trends. "Cocooning,"
for example, is a trend whereby people want to work from home. The Internet
gives those people an opportunity to shop for homes while in the comfort of
their own homes. "Popcorn's first book, Popcorn, is similar, and identifies
trends that later became reality. She and her associates gather a great deal of
informationto support their opinions and, in my opinion, the book is
well-written. A must-read for people worried about their business surviving in
today's world--and who isn't?"
