			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reading Trendwatching.com&#8217;s <a href="http://www.marketingcharts.com/interactive/top-10-consumer-trends-for-2010-11579/">Top 10 Consumer Trends for 2010</a> got me thinking about how nonprofits could potentially be taking advantage of these  this year.</p>
<p>The trend of <em>Embedded Generosity</em>, where  &#8220;consumers will continue to respond well to products and services which have a charitable component&#8221; is a trend that many nonprofit marketing departments are already aware and taking advantage of in aligning their brands with relevant corporate entities.</p>
<p>But what of the other trends? Could your nonprofit take advantage of <em>Mass Mingling</em> and &#8220;facilitate real-world meetups from social networks in a way that promotes their brand&#8221;? Why not invite your Twitter followers to a tweetup? It&#8217;s a great way to meet your supporters, and strengthen the relationships you&#8217;ve created online.</p>
