THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR OF GENERATION Y – „RETRO“ TREND

Journal Title: Marketing Identity - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

The area of consumer behavior is dynamic and constantly evolving. When digital technologies emerged, their variability, availability and use significantly influenced consumer behaviour and shopping, as well as the lifestyle of consumers across all ages. They are using new technologies while being more literate, more demanding and more rational when it comes to a range of products and services. Most companies / brands cannot operate without using digital technologies and focus their marketing activities right on the online environment. Generation Y can be defined as a young generation that has grown up surrounded by digital technologies and the Internet, uses them on a daily basis and considers them to be a part of their lives. The paper deals with Generation Y and the impact of digital technologies on changes in consumer behaviour of this generation. This paper also illustrates the current trend dominating the generation, a so-called „retro“ trend.
