Generation ‘Y’ and Shopping

generation-yIf your time is taken up with Facebook, WhatsApp, Amazon, the latest hit diet, Game of Thrones, your ambition and family then the chances are you belong to Generation Y.

Generation Y was born between the early 80s and the early 90s. Every generation is different and when you were born affects the types of things you will be interested in. When you’re born also influences your shopping behaviour in terms of what you will buy and how you will make that purchasing decision.

Gen Y is different than other generations in almost every facet of their lives. Those that belong to the generation were educated differently, they have had a different upbringing and experience different culture and customs to that of others. People who are part of Gen Y want to experience different things and they are more confident than previous generations. They want to leave the nest as soon as they can to experience the world.

The decade that you are born in, as mentioned, influences your purchasing behaviour because of the set of values and expectations you were raised with. It is worth noting that there are individual differences and not everyone is the same. Although people do make some purchasing decisions based on arbitrary factors like age and gender, others are made based on intellect, choices and personal character. The reality is that it’s wrong to stereotype.

It isn’t appropriate to assume that every member of Generation Y is the same. Just like everyone has different hair and different political views, everyone’s attitudes are different as well, and Generation Y members have different habits. They can’t all be lumped under the same umbrella.

Although the term, Generation Y originated in America, it has been adopted by many countries and traits have been observed in Australia, Asia and Europe as well.

Although we can determine some traits on time of birth it can be more valuable to consider the motivations and tendencies of each generation. When we do so, we can better understand how and what motivates people to make the purchasing decisions they do. Their motivations determine how they choose their fashion, how to shop and their career etc.

It has been said that Generation Y is the largest consumer group in the US, however, if we look further afield to Japan and Europe Generation Y makes up a smaller portion of their market. The important thing to note here is that people are used to being sold to rather than given the chance to make choices on their own.

In the United States, a quarter of the population lives in a single parent family, whereas 75% has a working mother and a third do not consider themselves to be Caucasian. The reason this is relevant is that how someone is raised, both the environment and their family, determine what their shopping behaviour will be. That includes how they make decisions, where they will shop, what they will buy and how much they will spend. This is only scratching at the surface and. Further research is needed.

Every generation has been shaped by the world events that occurred when they were growing up and some of the events that may have shaped Generation Y are the following:

  • Gulf War 1991.
  • The Attacks of September 11th, 2011
  • Indian Ocean Tsunami on Boxing Day 2003
  • Hurricane Katrina.
  • The Bali bombings
  • Watching The Simpsons.
  • Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.
  • Pokemon.
  • PlayStation and Nintendo becoming more popular. Even earlier than that would be the Sega Master System followed by the Sega Mega System.
  • Listening to Hip-hop, house and RnB (the modern version!) on your MP3 or iPod.
  • Using the internet as a social device and embracing social media.
  • Creating and reading blogs, and more recently vlogs on YouTube.
  • YouTube, Myspace, Facebook, online shopping, MSN Messenger.

Gen Y is ambitious, narcissistic and has a very short attention span. They don’t care much for the convention so companies need to be innovative to keep up with them. Generation Y likes to do things their own way and they like to determine their futures.

They love sharing on the internet and are conscious of the value of consumer goods. They enjoy snapping up a bargain and using coupons and discount codes to save money. It is essential that online retailers cater their products and services to match their consumer audience. Before they purchase they are more likely to share the item on Facebook or Instagram and seek the views of their friends. They don’t want to make decisions on their own like previous generations did.

Despite being confident and despite having strong views based on world knowledge, Generation Y is still like other generations. They will care what others think and want to be liked.

We live in fast times. We believe in instant gratification and everything we need is a click or a tap away, including our favorite good ol’ shopping therapy; that nobody can do without.
Some love it with a passion, others look at it as dread and horror, but everybody has to do it in one form or another at one time or another. The advancements in the virtual realm mean that we no longer need to worry about extended shopping hours or 24 hour shopping malls and/ or long snaking queues at checkouts to meet the human need for incessant wants and inevitable consumption to satisfy the same.

The advent of online shopping has meant you can buy whatever you can want, regardless of the hour of the day, freeing you not only from the bonds of time, but also the social aspect of a shop visit not to mention the time/ effort input into the exercise.  One of the primary reasons that online shopping has garnered immense popularity in recent years is the convenience factor associated with it. The influx of handheld mobile gadgets like- android phones, I phones, tablets and notebooks along with a rapid roll out of 3G data services  by mobile service providers has enabled an increasing number of people to go online irrespective of their geophysical location and levelled the playing field.

Why online shopping?

This is a win-win proposition for all parties. The seller has a lower overhead as he does not have to maintain an outlet in a shopping centre or mall does not have to employ staff to man the outlets or provide shop floor customer service. The low cost of operation means the buyer will get the same good or service for a lower price as the seller has had a lower cost of incursion for the business, so hence the markup on the product will tend to be smaller.

The buyer gets to shop from the convenience of his bed/ couch / work desk or café wherever she happens to be at the moment.  The very notion of having the means of instant gratification at your finger tip is indeed a powerful buzz for the consumers with an insatiable shopping desire.

As with everything else in the universe, there are pros and cons to online shopping too.
Except the aforementioned virtues extolled, there are some disadvantages that can make it an unmitigated disaster leaving a bitter aftertaste. But hang on, it is not as abject and hopeless, I am making it out to be either.  There are some bad apples out there and you have to make sure that you read the fine print and go through user reviews to draw your own reasonable conclusions before you close the deal.

There exist a plethora of web portals partnered with affiliates that now offer discount coupons and promo codes for their partnered tie ups and special deals on the World Wide Web. Do an intensive search and try to narrow down your results from various aspects and focus on sites that specialize in the area of interest.  Use search engines using different key words for the product search.

The portals offering online shopping deals and promotions usually offer a large portfolio with an extensive gateway to purchase consumer goods of all kinds as well as availing of services like flight / hotel bookings, car rentals or holiday packages.  In some cases, you might get a better deal accessing the sites through the portals as compared to directly going to the website, as the portals often enjoy additional discount privileges as part of their affiliation and networking agreements.
