Millennials are an essential ingredient in the development of e-commerce. Having grown up socializing and shopping online, the use of this e-commerce generation will continue to grow along with their discretionary income.
Although millennials do not like pop-up publicity, the graphics are very effective at capturing their attention and will repeatedly visit a website that has competitive pricing and good shipping rates.
This generation group is more active in integrating technologies into their daily lives for marketing purposes, using their mobile devices and the traditional Internet means to connect to retailers or brands. Their purchasing power and technological capacity have been crucial for minor online retailers who have benefited from this important segment of consumers.
