The Role of Social in the Purchase Process for Millennials
It was great to quantify that millennial are more likely to influence a personal decision by checking social media, with 25% of them pointing a clear difference. Plus, heavy social shoppers are not only influenced by Facebook, but also by Youtube, as well as Twitter and Tumblr in particular.
Millennial are also very driven by passion for a product or category. Their passion determines the amount of time they will invest in the pre, during and post phase of a product purchase, a mindset that is very useful to marketers and researchers alike.
And lastly, it was interesting to see that Facebook, Amazon and Youtube were the top influencers for non-social shoppers, showcasing the more global and segment-free appeal of these channels.
