The top March 2015 social good trends focus on efficiency and convenience.
Now more than ever, consumers are socially aware and globally conscious. However, with so many different causes needing attention, being charitable can often seem overwhelming. In order to receive the most positive reception for their causes as possible, organizations seek to streamline their donation methods and/or products. The simplification of social good is often achieved through the use of integrated tech and sophisticated design. Consumers are willing to be involved, but not at the cost of their creature comforts or aesthetic preferences. Any products that operate efficiently and look great while doing so are a big plus.
The top March 2015 social good trends prove that it's cool to give back, and people are definitely embracing the possibilities out there.
