Gen Z, which includes people born from 1997 to 2012, has made their own decisions in the consumer world. They have their own set of concerns and needs, and companies targeting them are wise to invest the time to understand what makes them &#8220;tick.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A big part of this is how plugged in Gen Z is to technology. Most were introduced to websites and even smartphones at a very early age. That\u2019s just one factor that colors the way they look at the world.<\/p>\n<p>Recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/en\/news-release\/2020\/02\/04\/1979316\/0\/en\/Gen-Z-Consumers-Start-to-Shape-Canadian-Credit-Market-as-They-Become-Increasingly-Credit-Active.html?utm_source=s5_mobile_site&amp;utm_medium=mobile&amp;utm_campaign=s5_90505\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research<\/a> by the company TransUnion indicates that the most widely-held product among Gen Z is a credit card, followed by student loans and personal loans. This is a direct result of some better economic factors in Canada, including consistent GPD growth, lower interest rates and technology changes that have made access better.<\/p>\n<p>The report also states that Gen Z has more credit power than some may think on the surface. When studying risk tiers, Gen Z is found to be 33% \u201cnear-prime,\u201d which is better than the 21% in that category when you consider the total Canadian population. Also, half of the Gen Z consumers in the survey had scores in the prime-or-above risk tiers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A view on what Gen Y and Z prefer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One thing that has certainly changed: younger generations have become important consumers in the Canadian landscape. When you include millennials \u2014 who are also known as Gen Y \u2014 it becomes a significant part of your customer base.<\/p>\n<p>A report on the Mobile Live news site explores <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilelive.ca\/blog\/who-is-reshaping-customer-experience\/?utm_source=s5_mobile_site&amp;utm_medium=mobile&amp;utm_campaign=s5_90505\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a few of the factors<\/a> they believe are driving consumer needs for these younger buyers. Here\u2019s a look at what they discovered:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instant gratification<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a huge surprise. Now that technology makes everything more widely available and at a faster rate, companies must provide convenient access to their products to younger generations. That means investing in a robust e-commerce website as well as prioritizing prompt response times to make sure questions are answered as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leading with mobile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With both Gen Z and Gen Y credited as being tech-savvy pretty much from their earliest years, businesses need to have mobile e-commerce sites that are easy to navigate, attractive and constantly kept up-to-date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Making it personal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Customized solutions are something these younger generations have come to expect.
