Millennials are, in large part, driving the shift to ecommerce. Because of convenience, Millennials prefer shopping online even more than Gen Z. This generation grew up shopping online and now—busy raising kids, prioritizing work, and balancing responsibilities—Millennials will opt for convenience time and again. Digital brands should focus on strong omnichannel experiences, free and fast shipping, special discounts, and yes, experiences. Millennials’ oft-mentioned love of experiences translates digitally into quizzes, personalization options, QR codes, AR capabilities, and more.
