Marketing to Gen Z: Breaking the Traditional Funnel Approach

Moving into a new generation of purchases can be overwhelming for many businesses, especially when the new market is being taken over by Gen Z consumers. First, we must come out of the misbelieve that Generation Z is still kids; today, they make up an estimated $143 billion in buying power in the market. Which makes them your primary target audience? However, we as marketers are now in big trouble if we stick to the same by-the-book marketing to attract consumers. Gen Z is breaking the norms when it comes to brand discovery and purchase. So what to do? Worry not! We’ve got your back! After vigorous research on Gen Z marketing, here’s what our team at Bizionic has found out works best for your digital marketing strategy to increase Gen Z consumer purchases.

Digital marketing practices to attract Gen Z consumers

Content beyond products/services

What makes the new generation different is that they wish to see what a business does beyond their products or services. For example, consider brands that support the LGBTQ+ cause during Pride Month and those that don’t. Many business businesses do not sell poorly, while the ones that do gain the new generations' generations of their inclusivity. This is one of the examples of what brands do beyond their products and services through marketing, which can majorly affect their business leads.

Faces of the brand’s digital front

While marketing is all about promoting your products and services, what many small businesses miss is creating that one-on-one connection with their consumers. They seek such connections by following the brand’s faces, such as the CEO, brand ambassadors, etc. This allows them to humanize the brand, enabling them to see the true faces that have built it from the ground up. So, having a face representing actual values is essential, and who better do that than the founders of businesses just starting?

Find the right influencers to collab

While influencer marketing might seem like a new concept, it has been around for ages, with celebrities promoting brands, products, and services. But infusers bring something new to the plate: they bring an authentic group of audience that already loves a niche. Finding such influencers within your niche can be a game changer for your brand.

Increase Short form content frequency

Short-form content has taken over most digital marketing modes, especially social media platforms. This has become a key factor in driving more traffic to businesses and generating leads online. What many people miss out on is that just creating content that is shorter in length is not enough. What also matters is that it has catchy graphics and content that will keep your audience engaged.

Brand authenticity & transparency

While marketing your product’s various features and benefits is essential, what also matters to today’s audience is how authentic what you share on your social media is. Being able to share proof of how effective your product is and how true to your words your brand is about its products/services has become a key driving force for purchasing. By sharing social proof that what you say is what you get, Gen Z is more prone to purchase from your brand. Want to know the best way to do that? Find out more by getting in touch with us now!

Brand reachability on digital platforms

This includes search engines, offline marketing, social media marketing, and much more. Want a full-fledged digital marketing plan? Contact us today.
