Some of the Trend Funnel™ Product Scouts have either lived or have family in target research destinations like the Rocky Mountains, the Appalachian Mountains, New Mexico, Texas, and even parts of Canada.  Therefore the research for this project came naturally, and the team was able to locate some really unique products.

Trend Funnel™ Product Scouts conducted extensive research in the mountains of Colorado.  They even collaborated on the renovation of a ski condo in Beaver Creek raising its ranking status 3 levels!  The renovation lead to a higher volume of renters and brought the owners a very nice profit upon resale.

Breathtaking drives along the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway for weekend day trips and long hikes through the foothills of the Appalachian mountains is always a welcome journey (especially in the Fall).  Trend Funnel™ Product Scouts enjoyed popping in and out of little visitors centers, museums, shops, and restaurants experiencing local culture.

Two of the Trend Funnel™ Product Scouts lived in great southwestern communities for several years, one living in San Antonio Texas and the other in New Mexico, and each still have family members living all over the southwestern United States.

And yes, we mentioned Canada…  Trend Funnel founder Mary Elizabeth Beal and her family are frequent visitors, canoe trippers, and campers in creek side, lakeside and riverside communities in Ontario.
