Every trend has an expiration date. If you think your brand is safe riding the wave of a viral moment, think again. The market gets oversaturated, people lose interest, and eventually, your shiny trend stops shining. So what’s next?
We’ve seen it happen over and over: the cycle of growth, maturity, and decline. Trends pop off, excitement skyrockets, and then, boom, content fatigue sets in. Suddenly, your brand’s once-coveted product is one of many copycats. The question isn’t if this will happen; it’s when.
And how will your brand survive when the hype fades?
Some brands know exactly how to pivot. They leverage urgency by making products limited edition, which gives them exclusivity and creates scarcity.
Others expand their range: think about Adidas dropping fresh takes on the Sambas to keep them relevant. And then there’s the holy grail, community building. A lot of brands don't just push a product; they open their brand arms wide and invite people in, transitioning consumers from one-time buyers to loyal advocates.
Virality is great, but let's not kid ourselves—it’s not permanent. When the hype wave inevitably breaks, you need to have a plan in place. Are you expanding the product range? Are you creating scarcity and urgency? Are you turning your customers into a dedicated community?
This is what separates those that fade away from the brands that evolve. Don’t just be the next best trend, be the brand that outlasts the trend.
So, what’s your play when your trend stops trending?
