The 5.0 consumer is more connected to the internet and masters digital like no other.
The 5.0 consumer is looking for a good shopping experience and is therefore looking for like-minded stores, as well as good quality products at a low price.
So, your e-commerce needs to be prepared and adapted to this type of consumer, because today the customer has more of a voice to ask and demand. Therefore, be aware that competition has increased with the arrival of the 5.0 consumer, with many channels for researching products and services. This means that they are not easily swayed.
Most of these consumers are part of generation Y and Z, and were born into the digital environment, so they are very comfortable using technology, such as smartphones, for their purchases.
If for past generations the internet was a source of research and knowledge, for the 5.0 consumer technology also functions as a means of acquiring goods and products.
How to reach the 5.0 consumer?
The 5.0 consumer expects much more than a commercial exchange with companies. They want a close relationship, so that this relationship generates a great customer experience. For this group, a good experience is much more important than buying a good product.
In order to attract, win over and retain the 5.0 consumer, companies need to check that their marketing strategies are being conveyed on the right communication channels - mostly in the virtual environment. Using data to identify needs, what the audience is saying about the brand and making quick changes is essential to achieving the desired results.
To do this, it's important to understand the language your customers use, so that you can get closer to them and create a connection. You also need to be available on various communication channels so that the 5.0 consumer can solve their questions and problems quickly and easily.
The great secret to this is to be connected to many people, but not to communicate with them en masse. You need to talk to them and engage with them individually. In this way, it is possible to generate a better experience for the 5.0 consumer and ensure that the company is executing a strategy focused on its customer's needs.
Be available
As we've said, the 5.0 consumer doesn't just want to be served during business hours and on a single channel. You need to offer options and be available, from email, social networks, WhatsApp, Apple Business Chat and various other digital channels.
Remember: it's important to be where your audience is.
This doesn't just mean having a profile on all the networks and channels, but actually understanding the particularities of your consumer and sector in order to offer what they expect and reach them effectively.
And more than just being there, you need to be able to offer service and support on all channels - after all, customers can contact your company at 9am or 3am, right?
To do this, it's important to invest in technology and automation and use a chatbot to serve your customers. With this type of robot, your company is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and makes the first contact with the public, never leaving them without answers.
To engage and retain this customer, you need to offer differentiated experiences at every point in the customer journey. You need to know your customer, define their points of contact and actions so that there are strategies designed for their moments.
Invest in experience
Offering an experience is also about being omnichannel, in other words, being able to maintain the context and satisfaction of the consumer during all their interactions and journeys, whatever their points of contact.
The 5.0 consumer wants to feel important and listened to by the company, so collecting feedback is essential for the relationship. Ask for their opinion, demonstrate its importance and, of course, use what you've collected in practice.
Listen to your customer and ask for feedback
It's not enough to use feedback to feed spreadsheets; you need to understand the company's errors and processes, collect points for improvement and act to optimize them. By noticing changes and updates in your procedures, customers will value your business even more.
Looking at the customer's profile and understanding where they are, who they are and what they expect is essential in order to devise strategies that have to do with their real moment and needs.
