Marketing strategies tailored for Gen Z and Millennials require distinct approaches.. As the digital world evolves over time, so do the consumption habits, and the two generations, although quite similar in many aspects, have some core differences in their values and what they expect from brands. Both groups are technologically savvy, but their preferences and behaviors can greatly influence the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, especially in lifestyle products like sunglasses. Here's a comparison of strategies that could be effective for each group:

It's 2019 and we now live in the age of easy. The age of short attention spans. The age of Simple. This is primarily due to a shift in the current leadership demographic. Regardless of the industry,

According to a report done by Experian Millennials spend just about over 2 hours a day - 14.5 hours a week - on their smartphones. The report goes on to state that in fact, so much time is spent on their smartphones that it accounts for 41 percent of the total time that the American population spend using smartphones, despite Millennials only making up 29 percent of the US population.

Why not solve the problem with an obvious solution…hire a millennial. They are your target audience and they know exactly how the millennial mind works.
