Called in March. The frother program expanded across brands and became the biggest volume win of the year.
Called in March, on shelves by fall across three brands, from heart-shaped cast iron to premium ceramic.
Not a kitchen call at all. The duffel, toiletry bag and acrylic organizers all followed the signal, and all shipped within the year.
The sourdough revival, called in May. Three colorways landed in November, right on time for baking season.
Called in September as open storage took hold. The stackable wire and bamboo bins followed the next season.
Called in March and designed in-house, the kettle went from signal to a shipping electric program before fall.
Spotting a trend is the easy part. Crystal Ball's real work is the match: weighing every rising signal against the house to decide which brand should own it, which shopper it serves, and which retail partner's shelf it belongs on. Then its creative side turns the winning match into rendered concepts, seasonal moodboards and shelf-ready lookbooks while the trend is still climbing.
CALLED, THEN BUILT
Every call is matched to the brand in the house best placed to own it.
Signals are read against who is actually shopping the trend, not just how loud it is.
Concepts land with the retail partner whose aisle, and whose shopper, they were made for.
About 58% of U.S. shoppers buy after seeing a product on social, and social commerce now tops $120B a year. Trends move at feed speed, and Crystal Ball is how we see them first.
