Time is changing faster than we ever realise. We cannot deny that a much younger generation, <\/span>Gen Z, is leading the retail trends, including e-commerce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As <\/span>Generation Z<\/span> takes over, Millennials are gradually losing their prominence. According to a New York Post report, <\/span>Generation Z outnumbers Millenials and is out to change the world.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the future of the retail, <\/span>e-commerce and SEO<\/span><\/a> industry is no exception. <\/span>IMRG<\/span><\/a> said that around 24% of <\/span>Gen Z shops strongly prefer online shopping<\/span>, and more than 40% shop for half of their clothes online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As presented in these statistics, there is no doubt that <\/span>Generation Z<\/span> is the next consumer generation. The only question is, how will they influence the future of <\/span>retail services<\/span> and the <\/span>e-commerce<\/span> industry? ?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let us look closer and see how <\/span>Generation Z<\/span> will do it and how brands like yours can keep up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inspiration Comes First, Selling Comes Second<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

We cannot deny that <\/span>Generation Z<\/span> grew up becoming a socially-savvy generation. They often get inspired by the things they see and experience online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But unlike the previous generations, Generation Z does not just sit around and wait for something to inspire them. <\/span>Generation Z developed an online shopping habit<\/span> that makes them actively search for something new that they can make their own and use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The members of Generation Z have a strong sense of individuality. They are exploring things to find and create a personal style for themselves. Besides browsing through social media, <\/span>Generation Z also visits e-commerce<\/span> apps or websites<\/span><\/a>, including Pinterest and Behance, to find and get style inspiration, discover what others are buying, learn how to style a new fashion trend, and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Desires Engaging Experiences<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the previous generations think time is gold, Generation Z believes more than that. That means they always make sure no chance is left behind. In other words, Generation Z is FOMO.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fear of missing out made Generation Z desire engaging experiences. That means they are afraid of being left out or feel excluded from plans and trends. Instead of sitting and waiting, Generation Z is always looking for \u2018what is in\u2019, and they research everything related to it online before they even go and visit any shop, restaurant or other establishments in person with their family, friends or colleagues. After all, Generation Z has a meticulous and woke mindset, which is why they want to have the information they need to engage in the actual experience itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part of their research is to watch videos and read customer reviews to help them decide whether what they are about to do is worth their time, money, and effort.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, videos of restaurants and food on Instagram and TikTok can influence a Gen Z person\u2019s decision to find a place to eat. If a Gen Z sees a post on these social media platforms about food or a place that captures their interest, they are more likely to visit that restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a look at this picture as an example. The Gen Z TikTok user type the keywords \u2018Restaurant in Singapore\u2019 to find a place to eat around the area. As they scroll through, they will likely know where to go next for their food trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TikTok and Instagram are taking part in the search evolution. Younger generations are turning to these social media platforms instead of Google for discovery purposes. Google studies have shown that 40% of Gen Z look for a place for lunch on TikTok and Instagram and not on Google Search or Google Maps. <\/span><\/p>\n
