- 63. Generations Major technological shiftsalways happens with generations Research into understanding generations and how they behave Here are some of the stereotypes - and should be used as a guideline, not absolute facts Although we see trends human nature is usually the same in any generation
- 64. Silent Generation Born 1925until 1942, sometimes called “Lucky Few” and are retired today Born too early for WWII but before the Baby Boomers Entered the workplace in a booming economy, the Sputnik Era - high wagers, low fixed rate mortgages The healthiest and most educated generation of elders that ever lived— and, of course, the wealthiest. The last Silent cohort reached age 65 in 2007 - perfect timing to the end!
- 65. Baby Boomers Born 1946until 1964, following the booming years after World War II. Larger than previous generation. Associated with privilege. Time of widespread government subsidies in post-war housing and education, and increasing affluence. The boomers moved to the suburbs and were perfect consumers for the newly erected malls. Received peak levels of income. Therefore, the boomers were perfect consumers. In 2015, the boomers are between 51 and 69 years.
- 66. Generation X Born ca.1965 until 1980, MTV generation Grew up when the wife stopped being a housewife and started working so Xers became latchkey kids, and got used to daycare and divorce as well as microwave dinners (there is a theory that states that microwave owens and divorce is related). This is the generation in the middle - boomers and millennials Got access to computers at school and later work, played video games in arcades. Just as the baby boomers, the Xers are passive consumers. This is the last generation to use email as main form of correspondence.
- 67. Millennials Born ca. 1980until 2000 - the net generation or NetGen Grew up with computers and the internet, and played video games on consoles at home. With online technologies this generation is much better connected with their parents. More liberal than previous generations and more open minded, don’t mind big governments if they get service. Unlikely to conform to a routine schedule like working 9-5 or showing up at any particular time, work according their own schedule, output driven. Not as loyal, move from one job to the next.
- 68. Millennials Many millennials prefersmartphone and a laptop to having a car They like staying in crowded urban areas and are less likely to choose to live in suburbs Workplaces that want to attract millennials are open spaces, elegantly designed with lots of different places to work like sofas, picnic tables - far away from Dilbert like cubicle place
- 69. Millennials Millennials are selfcentered and want to be the center of attraction Whereas ad for the Xers and boomers showed some hero or role model that they should look up to and want to become (and thus buy the product, see the movie etc) These ads don’t work for millennials as they are used to be the star - and don’t want to be anybody else

- 72. Millennials Have the reputationof choosing brands but lacking loyalty They are quicker to switch brands, loyalty is shorter Today we have much more choses, much more brands are available and the sources of information that let you switch brands is far bigger than ever A consumer may choose a brand if a friend recommends it
- 73. Millennials In the bookRetail Revival, author points out that brands that are winning with the millennials, of course they need to be good, but also: • authentic like Lululemon, living what their brands espouses and being real • purpose driven like TOMS Shoes, supporting human purpose beyond pure profit; • quick to change like Apple, constantly driving obsolescence with its latest products; and • socially savvy like Zappos.com, nurturing the visibility of everyone in the company through social networks.

- 77. Key Insight Research suggestthat millennials are in some ways different than the previous generations, in particular their use of technology. This is the generation that established businesses need to attract as customers, and that means using the same technology as they do - smartphones, web sites, and social media.
