GIM Safaris | Target: Digital Natives

Who they are: Born digital: All generations born after 1980 that have grown up with the digital devices of our modern world. Therefore they perceive and handle those technologies as a matter of course.

The special and extensive use of communication technologies influences not only the way digital natives browse and shop, but also their demands regarding service, brand communication and pack design. We will be talking to lead users, the so called digital dependents.

Why you want to talk to them: Learn from consumers how to optimize your social media activities or establish successful e-commerce. Redesign brand, communication and packaging according to the needs of the digital point of view. Last but not least: They are your future consumers. Don’t forget: digital immigrants are on the move as well!

They can teach you that … • The way they perceive, classify and share information is substantially differing.

• In a world of information overload reducing complexity is key. See how to shape information to nuggets and how convenience becomes design. The future of shopping is not necessarily online – it’s just stationary PoS that has to change. Find out which ways are an attractive and promising option.

• Word of mouth nowadays becomes the anonymous voice of likes and ratings. Learn about the importance and impact of ratings and how to revise customer relationship management.

• Successful brand communication is less about QR codes than the old tradition of storytelling.
