Gen Z is the demographic after the Millennials. Although there is no exact date they are typically born from mid-1990s to mid-2000s. Most of Generation Z have used the Internet since a young age and are comfortable with technology and social media.
OK, how do we target to this group?
Gen Z are generally hard to target – techniques that worked to recruit, retain, and manage millennials won’t always work for Gen Z.- what we need to do is get to know Gen Z and their habits.
