Future Trends Social media With the growth of the social media as an in- dustry Quirky has the opportunity to enhance its presence by tap- ping into a market with a massive amount of users and potential community members. The use of Snapchat Instagram Twitter and Facebook have revolutionized the way users keep up-to-date and in contact with the companies they love. Utilizing these existing platforms which already have immense user bases is a completely logical and proven way to enhance a companys presence and brand interaction with its users. Quirky could post events new products questions challenges new marketing techniques and much more through these avenues and gain another foothold in the tech space. SkillSharingIn order to help community members develop their skills the group suggested a shared creation process be- tween inventors and influencers.

By doing this the invention process will not be limited only skilled individu- als. Through skill sharing members may find people will comple- mentary skills enabling millions more to create and collaborate on Quirky. Partnerships A major opportunity identified by the future trend group was the potential for engaging governments and non-profit companies into the invention platform. How might we get bait skilled inventors to invent and design -- what about for a greater purpose Instead of just designing products and gadgets the community could be used to solve real world problems. By developing the community network into an online global com- munity inventors and creatives from all over the world would be able to share skills collaborate on ideas and connect through the platform.

We asked workshoppers to ideate what future trends they believe will be and how Quirky might take use them to gain a competitive edge. The major subjects provided were Growth and Expansion Fair Deals and Social Media. We also brainstormed around how might Quirky appeal to government and non-profit organizations.
