As Expected, Tech Plays a Significant Role in Daily Life…
Strong bias toward Apple laptops, smartphones, tablets
and music players
Primarily used for homework, music, socializing, shopping

…But Tech Doesn’t Dominate
![Page 11: The Millennial Report](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061306/54b2d1e44a795935418b45e3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

When it comes to mobile apps, these Millennials are
very selective.
They don’t waste time with apps they do not use or need.
Apps: Less is Definitely More
![Page 12: The Millennial Report](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061306/54b2d1e44a795935418b45e3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

“I usually have fewer than 10 apps on my phone, and more than half are for information purposes.”
“My favorite apps are the ones that are informative, such as Yelp or The Good Guys.”
“I do not like to clutter my phone with a lot of apps, and I typically don’t like to have to pay for apps.”
Apps: Less is Definitely More

To Be, or Not to Be (Social)All panelists have very
active social graphs:>400 Friends Each
They all spend some time on Facebook, Twitter &
Pinterest…but the time they spend
is diminishing…and they rarely contribute

To Be, or Not to Be (Social)
“My time spent on Facebook has definitely changed…I don’t provide as many updates about myself…”
“I usually check my Facebook page the last 15 minutes of the day or first thing in the morning.”

Retail Reacts to Social Patterns“These kids are busy! They aren’t spending every waking minute on social media and they don’t really ‘get’ the value of Twitter.”
“When it came to social media, I think we were all surprised at their lack of usage of these platforms.”
“Perhaps that is the reason why there are more 34-44-year olds on Twitter, because they have more time.”
![Page 16: The Millennial Report](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061306/54b2d1e44a795935418b45e3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

“Old School” Shoppers?
Although they will research and purchase online, our panelists prefer to be inside a store talking to a helpful, human sales associate

Modern Tools are MandatoryMobile POS and QR codes in the store enhance their shopping experience and help earn their loyalty
“I like the option to buy online and pick-up in store because I typically spend more money in the store than I originally spent online.”
“I like to research products onlineand purchase the product in the store. I also like to return productsto the store rather than via mail.”
All-Channel Fulfillment Flexibility

Modern, Yes. Invasive, No
“I prefer e-mails about discounts and offers from a retailer, not text messages.”
“I don’t like apps that require access to my Facebook data to personalize the app experience.”
“These students are very adamant aboutprotecting their privacy and are not as technically savvy as we expected.”
![Page 19: The Millennial Report](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061306/54b2d1e44a795935418b45e3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

The panelists generally do not use retailer apps unless there is a discount offer to make it worth the download

Social Shopping:Engaged…But at Arms’ Length
“Bloggers are a good way to get information and good ideas. I like the images and the fact that their style is more informal and less corporate-focused.”
“I Like some retailers on Facebook, but Follow more brands and will ‘like’ specific products.”
“I do not prefer ads on Facebook. I am more influenced by my friends on services and products.”
![Page 21: The Millennial Report](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061306/54b2d1e44a795935418b45e3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21Summary Takeaways
1Respect their Time.All panelists responded to several questions with passionate pleas for shopping tools and messages that respect their time and make it convenient to connect.
2Pick Your Spots.Don’t overwhelm them with advertising and promotions in every channel. Make the effort to understand each shopper’s preferences, and respect their wishes.
3Be There.Retailers & brands need to be available everywhere. They shop and compare online and in the store. And they want access on their phone & social networks.
4Opinions Matter.They were unanimous in their appreciation of the opinions of their peers and fellow shoppers, and listed blogs, reviews and comments as very influential.
5Connect the Dots.As evidenced by their busy schedules, crowded social networks, and desire for efficiency, connecting the store to the customer to the direct channels is critical.
