Generation Z on In-Store vs. Online Experiences



When it comes to Generation Z, we talk about young people aged 14-19. The most digitally-savvy generations in our ever-connected world; possessing a buying power of nearly $44 billion.


According toThe Next Generation of Retail,” a study of more than 2,000 Americans aged 14-19, although Gen Z is one of the most digitally-savvy generations, 64 percent prefer shopping in-store vs. online. 

Three-quarters of Gen Z respondents also prefer to shop at retailers that provide an engaging in-store experience. One can also observe that, when it comes to a satisfying in-store experience, the top three components Gen Z looks for are a clean store, friendly and knowledgeable associates and a positive checkout experience. 

According the same survey, Generation Z does not have strong brand loyalty.
