 FAD
A Fad is something, such as an interest or
fashion, that is very popular for a short time.
A product that has little, if any, utility but is
characterized by a quick rise in sales and
popularity followed by a quick decline in sales and
popularity. Nevertheless, fads seldom completely
die out with some diehard followers remaining
loyal.
EXAMPLES OF
FADS

A fad is intense but short-lived fashion or thing.

 SPOTTING A TREND
The individual’s act or the event has
attracted attention, earned acceptance,
and created strong interest and influence
on people whose number keeps
increasing as days go by.
 SPOTTING A TREND
The act or event is something different from
what is currently going on and it becomes “the
next big thing”.
It demonstrates an accelerated spread among
various sectors and areas and creates a deep and
wide scope of influence on people, sectors, and
the environment. It leads to change. (Urgel, 2017)
 Futurists - one who studies and predicts the
future, especially based on current trends.
Rehn and Lindkvist (2013), trendspotting
refers
to the study of trends and the way they develop
and affect society.
According to them, this should be differentiated
from cool- hunting which is a hunt for those things
that will become popular before they are popular.
 Trend analysis is based on
trendspotting but it extends this into
developing future scenarios and so they
say that to follow a trend, one must not
only be conscious of what is currently
happening but be wise enough to predict
the future. (Urgel, 2017)
 Arzadon et.al. (2018) mentioned that
trends and fads are sometimes used
interchangeably, and they are both important
for organizations and people to keep abreast
with the changing environment.
However, it is also important to distinguish
the difference between trends and fads to
deepen our understanding of survival and
 As members of society, we should
know how fads and trends to create
changes in our society. Certain fads and
trends are created by dominant cultures
catering to their own interests. As
students, you should be able to analyze
how to respond to the issues and
challenges brought about by these
