IMPLICATIONS
PRESUMERS have opened the lid on a new consumer experience. Want to get going with this trend? How about: Scan PRESUMER platforms for projects, rms, designers, entrepreneurs that you could or should partner with. Establish a platform for new designs or products, and let PRESUMERS help you choose which ones to make and sell. Experiment with pre-sales models and special perks for enthusiastic PRESUMERS. So start thinking PREDUCTION, consider becoming a PRETAILER, and get going! ;-)
