looks interesting but would be great to get a bit more information like an example of a previous weekly newsletter

How do you stack against Glimpse?
Ryan Hoover
@danirogerc Glimpse is great. Subscribing to this too.
Daniel Roger Casanova
@rrhoover I just wish there was a one-time price for this at the start (for early adopters lifetime) instead of an annual based subscription. It's a bit hard to justify for an e-mail per week
Jake Gibson
@rrhoover @danirogerc or a monthly subscription would be good too

@danirogerc just to clarify, it's not just one email - the email contains links to in-depth case studies etc
Juan Manuel Garrido
@rrhoover @danirogerc 110% agree with you

Trends produces the best market research that I've ever come across. I've found it it to be invaluably insightful. If I were starting a new startup, it's highly likely that I'd be getting my ideas for it from Trends.

@_jacksmith How old is this? when did it launch? have you tried glimpse? how does it compare?

@danirogerc it’s launching today. i haven’t read Glimpse reports, they seem more data centric with graphs and stuff. eg Glimpse has a chart showing that Hims is taking off. Trends had a case study interviewing the Hims founder and employees highlighting how they got successful, which agencies and people they hired, what tactics they used etc.
Daniel Roger Casanova
@_jacksmith Unexpectedly in-depth, I see. Will give it a try then.
Jack Smith
Hunter
@danirogerc yeah - very deep research

@thesamparr when people subscribe, do they get access to the facebook group and past issues?
Ken Savage
@thesamparr @_jacksmith I'm curious about this as well
Sam Parr

@_jacksmith @kensavage past issues AND FB group!
Daniel Roger Casanova
Do you have a demo so that I can decide If I should purchase the one-time price or not?

@danirogerc looks like you can cancel within 14 days and get a refund

Trends pumps out some of the best, most well-researched content you can find. Great insights, as well as interviews with founders. @thesamparr and the team really go the extra mile to gather the best information. The private community is also really active and full of smart trend hunters. Pros: Well-written and researched, in-depth case studies, actionable insights, weekly e-mail, awesome FB community. Cons: None Comparing Trends to Glimpse (which I am also subscribed to), Trends releases in-depth case study reports with much deeper analysis and research into WHY something is trending. They also tend to gear their research towards business-related discussion and analysis that you can apply to your own business. This is particularly true when they interview founders of companies to get deeper backstory to their success. Glimpse is similar but not the same thing. Glimpse mails out monthly, the topics I've found are wider-ranging - from products to cultural phenomenons - and the analysis is much shorter so you can consume it quickly. It is also highly data-driven, with graphs showing spikes of buzz around a topic.

@heinz_grunwald now that you're subscribed, can you see the past reports? I highly recommend checking out the Hims case study

This is a legit business tool not just more information for your stream. To dig into it, you'll want up to 30m of some quiet time and you'll be rewarded with lots of interesting data points and research.

I signed up for $1 free trial and ended up forgetting that my account existed. Unfortunately, I didn't get any notifications and was charged $300. I noticed the charge on my bank card two weeks later and asked for a refund. Stating that I had never even logged into the platform and would like a refund. I understand that they they have a refund policy, but at the very east be flexible in a situation like this where I didn't even use the product. And for that, I wouldn't recommend the platform.
Aila Villanueva
@matthew_rouzaud I seem to find it rare , I mean well setup recurring subscription notifications and the system itself, informing about upcoming payments on trial screens and so on. Kind of typical "lets see how much we can make form peoples short term memory" :)
Josh Moore
Be careful with that 14 day period. They charge you $299 and offer absolutely no refunds once that payment has been taken. Hardly fair to small businesses trying to get by on very lean margins. Just another bunch of contrepreneurs.
