Top 4 Businesses and Trends for 2012

  1. Senior Care

Medicine and related technology have changed the senior world today; Americans are living longer and more independently as they age. Still, mobility and daily tasks can be difficult, and so businesses and services in the senior care industry are booming.

  1. Health and Wellness

Whether it’s a fitness center or a healthy salad bar, the nationwide trend of healthy eating and fitter lifestyles has boosted the industry’s consumer potential. Wellness plans, gyms, training and healthy food products are all up there in the popular category.

  1. Shipping and Logistics

No matter what the state of economy, products and goods will still need to be moved. Logistics include insurance claims, packaging, shipping and pricing. Smaller businesses do not have the resources to hire top professionals, and so smaller logistics and shipping companies have been popping up across the nation.

  1. Outsourcing

The recession has helped businesses learn to make cuts without severely damaging their productivity. Technology has played a big part in compensating for the losses. Programs like QuickBooks replace bookkeepers, and online outsourcing is a great way to hire cheap, temporary staff for any type of business.
