Ken Hughes – The Changing DNA of the Shoppers

Retails beware! The DNA of the shoppers has changed and Ken Hughes, Consumer & Shopper behaviouralist, shares his insights…

There are huge differences in expectations between consumers born Before Google (BG) and After Google (AG). As the Digital Natives (those born in the 1980’s) are now entering their 30’s, we are set to witness one of the biggest shifts in global consumer behaviour, perhaps since the invention of the teenager in the US in the 1950’s. What do this generation expect from life, relationships, brands and retailers? What will they demand from a consumption and purchase experience? And most importantly how must we prepare to meet these needs.
