Ridiculous to state that Boomers bought more stuff of lesser quality and that Millennials are more sophisticated consumers. Exactly that sort of statement is the essence of the problem. The world has changed and so has the experience of buying stuff. "More or less" is polarizing; it's not more or less, it is sure as hell different.Which of your kids have ability to make nuanced decisions on what they want to buy? Actually I can expand that to people in general not just our kids. The ability to see products, to feel, to hear, to smell the store, to experience the "experience" with more than a visual representation of what they might receive. Seems like we're in a trickle over economy where someone sees something first on the internet, tells his or her friends, they buy it (or not), etc. There is less and less of the experience now and more of a binary on/off switch based upon reviews by other people. Not more sophisticated, just different.
Jeff Bezos is defining the future of shopping now with B&M bookstores and acquisitions like Whole Foods. I wonder what it's going to be!
