Generation Y

“Armed with BlackBerrys, laptops, cellphones and other gadgets, Generation Y is plugged-in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This generation prefers to communicate through e-mail and text messaging rather than face-to-face contact and prefers webinars and online technology to traditional lecture-based presentations.”

“Gen-Y was raised on technology, so much so that our cell phones are extensions of our hands and text messaging, instant messaging and Facebooking are how we interact with others, even different generations.”

Shoppers are most interested in the topic of shopping.

They spend a lot of time researching and preparing for in-store shopping trips.

Shoppers tend to be more focused on quality, as opposed to savings.

Also, enjoy selling items, searching for products on Craigslist or eBay, and participate in ratings and reviews on retailers websites.

“We are constantly surrounded by tons of choices and new

technologies every day.  Tomorrow is the past and today is the future.  Change is rapid

and if people are not keeping up, then they are left out of the loop, they are left in the dust.” –Fellow Gen Y’er
