Time for some tech
Gen Z preferences. What do Gen Z shoppers want? The youngest generation that is making purchases online and in-store, is looking for more than simple products or connectivity when it comes to shopping. This is why Claire Spackman, a Gen Zer herself, decided to start Consumerhaus, a fully curated online market looking to become a central grocery shopping hub for Gen Z consumers.

Expert opinion
Promotional climate. “Do you see the heightened promotional environment being risky for off-pricers and those in the resale market?” This was the topic of one of Retail Wire’s discussions where retail experts shared their insights. Here’s what Jeff Sward had to say about this:
Shoppable Videos. In one of RetailWire’s discussions, experts and retail influencers debated the following topic: “Do you see shoppable ads on Shorts making it more likely that users will see YouTube as a place for shopping as well as watching content?” Here’s what Dave Bruno stated:
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Poor Delivery
Black Friday – Winners and Losers. As retailers were hoping for a normal Black Friday after 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems that inflation destroyed their dreams. However, now that Black Friday is over, there are some winners and losers. This year, consumers preferred to use the Buy now pay later option as well as mobile shopping. However, there was less interest in curbside pick-up and old inventory.
Cyber Monday spending. According to data from Adobe Analytics. Cyber Monday brought in a record $11.3 billion in total spending, marking 5.8% growth year over year. Toys, computers, and electronics were among the favorite items of shoppers. Also, it’s important to note that for Cyber Monday the mobile shopping trend continued, with over 43% of online orders coming from a smartphone.
Poor delivery. Poor delivery performance? You risk losing many customers. According to a study published by Voxware, 65% of respondents report that they will abandon shopping with a retailer altogether after two to three late deliveries. Apart from losing customers, your store risks getting a bad reputation as 70% of respondents said that they are likely to share a negative experience online when a purchase is late or incorrect.
