Miniature Garden with Bird Bath

Story # 86, Part II


Is there something going on here?   Part II

     BusinessWeek had an article about the movie version of Les Miserables and the apparent success of a musical.  The speculation is that musicals are what people want and the trend will be to make more of them.  The movie critic is quoted:

          “In the end, it’s all about the individual movie.  Viewers will gravitate toward good works.
    They don’t necessarily care about trends.  Audiences are smarter than people think.”


     The trend may be toward Miniature Gardens.  The speculation is that people want them because it’s the new thing.


     Everybody likes the new and different but they may not know it’s a trend.


     They don’t buy because it’s the fad.  They buy because it has value for their interests.  A lot of good Miniature Gardens are being sold because gardeners are intrigued by them.


     Consumers are always smarter than people (sellers) think.
