与千禧世代同行

谁是千禧世代?

对千禧世代来说,广告已经遍布日常生活的每个层面。他们的长辈每日或会接触到几百个广告,但由于千禧世代运用智能手机、平板电脑及手表,透过社交媒体来沟通、互动及获取资讯,因此他们接触到的广告数目较其长辈高出数倍。

那么,千禧世代是较容易应对的销售对象吗?

答案肯定是“不是”。虽然我们不应一概而论,但销售及市场推广团队必须明白千禧世代的购物方式与过往世代截然不同,外界亦经常批评他们摆出一副“理所应得”的态度,而这只是反映他们对产品及服务供应商的要求较高。千禧世代不会轻信一家公司对其产品及服务的片面之词,因为他们根本无须如此:只要上网搜寻,他们便可以轻易获得最新的产品优惠、同类商品及其他消费者的评语-不止是当地市场,甚至是全球消费者的意见。是的,任何消费者都可以使用比较网站,但大部分人士仍然受到品牌的公关技巧所控制。对于熟悉互联网操作的千禧世代来说,上网研究已经“习惯成自然”,他们也较擅于操控和评估所获得的资讯。

深入了解千禧世代

千禧世代不但了解品牌的力量,也明白他们掌握创造或破坏品牌价值的能力。如果品牌要赢得千禧世代的忠心支持,便要同时提供优质的产品、精彩的顾客体验,以及日趋重要的道德表现,履行企业社会责任,并在生产周期奉行可持续发展原则。若一家公司表面假装关心,千禧世代只要发出一则社交媒体文章,便可广传至数以万计的社交媒体用户,甚至不止此数。事实上,不少公司因此需要彻底改变其运作方式,以取得更佳的业绩。

结论?

传统的硬售金句"ABC:Always Be Closing"(一定要达成交易)对千禧世代来说并不奏效。他们期望品牌能够兑现承诺-不是"Always Be Closing",而是"Always be Helping"(随时提供协助)。若品牌能够达到这个目标,千禧世代将成为最忠诚的顾客,而更重要的是他们会在网上广传。

当企业明白千禧世代的思考、行动及沟通方式,便能掌握最具影响力的宣传途径和具有真正价值资产。
