New Products for 2013

2013 sounds like one of those years movies from the ʼ70s, ʼ80s and ʼ90s called “the no-so-distant future,” where there are Running Man competitions, hover-board races that end on water, replicants posing as humans and overuse of liberal eugenics. The movies were not completely off-base. Our lives now barely resemble how we lived in 2005, let alone 1975, largely due to technology (not to mention, the popularity of reality TV is basically the same as Death Race 2000).

The hyper speed of the Internet, social media and the generation that grew up using them has forced every industry to adapt. It has eliminated the need for some products and opened the way for new inventions. It also has shown what holds up in a rapidly changing world. For every new creation, there is a product that has yet to be bested by a technological counterpart. In other words, for every Honey Boo Boo, there is an umbrella that has been around for 50 years and will be for at least 50 more.

We have a lot of great things going on around us, but a few things have stayed the same. Most importantly, branding still matters. So we collected some of the top branded products for 2013. Who knows what the list will be in 2113, but these are the products for today and for this year. Happy 2013 and good luck selling!

On Thin Ice
Frozen chicken is great for icing wounds, but gets gross pretty quickly once it starts to thaw. Encourage your clients to try the Reusable Aqua Bead Gel Therapy Pack from Ariel Premium Supply Inc. instead. The freezer- and microwave-safe pack can be used as a hot or cold pack, measures 7-1⁄2x4-1⁄2x1⁄4" and comes in six colors. A 2-3⁄4x2" imprint area is available on the front only.
