If your’e signed up to as many newsletters as I am you will no doubt have received numerous predictions of what will be hot or not this year.  One good thing from getting a number of these is it appears there is a general consensus of opinion on what to look out for in 2010!

It’s good to see that some of these are old friends that businesses should have considered, if not been actively engaged in, a few on the other hand are going to have an effect and businesses may need to adapt their strategies to keep up.

In my view the following are going to be the most relevant for small businesses in the coming year.
