Keeping Up With The Millennials

NYC

Event

October 3, 2017

Summary

Mobile. Social. Shoppable.

Millennials are a big deal. Not only are they the largest generation since the ‘Baby Boomers’, but they’re also about to enter their prime purchasing years.

Born between 1980 and 2000, Millennials make up a quarter of the world’s population – some 1.7 billion people. These smartphone-wielding young people offer retailers rich opportunities for mobile commerce. They spend most of the day on their phones and are the largest group driving smartphone transactions. And they are rapidly turning into the most important consumer group in the world.

Our afternoon conference looked at how they (The Millennials) are now going mobile to make their purchases, and are changing the world of eCommerce. We debunked a few Millennial Myths and as always, heard 'war stories' from speakers who are on the front line of eCommerce.

Online retailers can’t afford to ignore the empowered, demanding Millennial generation’s needs when it comes to eCommerce. It’s time for businesses to re-evaluate the old methods used on Gen X and Baby Boomers, and embrace the shift to mobile.

Don’t let this group slip through your fingers, hone in on the digital world and all the advantages it has to offer. Take the leap to accommodate those who fuel the online retail world, today.
