Does Gen Z consumption differ from previous generations?
Understanding the characteristics and consumption patterns of Gen Z is key to effectively developing social marketing strategies. Gen Z, commonly referred to as the generation born between the late 1990s and mid-2020s, is known for their economic independence and preference for experience-driven consumption over product practicality. They highly value the diverse experiences they encounter when purchasing goods.
Gen Z highly values diversity and social value, exhibiting a strong interest in environmental issues, corporate values, brand value, and brand stories. They actively produce content through social media based on their direct experiences and express their unique identities. The prevalence of using Reels on platforms like Instagram exemplifies these characteristics of Gen Z. Keeping these characteristics in mind, let's examine what social marketing strategies can captivate Gen Z in 2024.
1. They prefer visual content over text.
Gen Z is highly responsive to visual content. They make purchase decisions based on a holistic experience that encompasses not only the product itself but also the brand's unique image, services, and various other elements. As social channels for showcasing visual content become increasingly diverse, it remains a crucial strategy to capture Gen Z's attention by providing optimized content for each social and web platform.
Instead of constructing landing pages or separate layouts to display content, effectively introduce your brand value by utilizing Litterly's visual features (images, videos, galleries). No need to adjust content for each platform. Profile links and micro web pagescan stimulate Gen Z's visual sensibilities and enhance brand familiarity.

2. Active social media and online community participation
It's also important to note that Gen Z prefers to engage in self-promotion through social media and is comfortable connecting with people in online communities through this interaction. They have no aversion to joining communities that cover a variety of topics and find it increasingly natural to make friends online through communication with those communities, unlike previous generations.
The decreasing aversion to obtaining information through online communities and social media based on interests signifies increasing opportunities for direct marketing to target audiences interested in specific products. The increasing emphasis on sales events focused on experiential formats, as seen in flagship stores of large corporations, is also attributed to this phenomenon.
Companies should deviate from operating traditional, structured social channels and adopt new strategies to align with Gen Z's proactive participation in online communities.

3. Personalized content curation is essential! But what if you're strapped for resources?
Providing personalized content, such as customized content, is actually becoming increasingly important across all generations, not just Gen Z. Personalized content curation analyzes the interests and behavioral data of specific user groups to offer information they find valuable. This helps users develop a positive perception of the brand.
However, the drawback of AI technology that curates personalized content based on clicks and traffic is the high cost of implementation, making it challenging for smaller businesses to realistically execute.

This makes it easy for anyone to execute a personalized marketing strategy for their social media channels.
