Their habits and preferences will shape what consumers buy and how brands show up this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand those preferences, Chemistry partnered with our in-house <a href=\"http:\/\/themarketresearchlab.com\/\">The Market Research Lab <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/sympler.co\/\">Sympler<\/a> to dig into what holiday shopping trends \u2013 driven by Gen Z \u2013 brands will need to pay attention to this year. Here\u2019s what we learned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Gen Z, like the rest of us, is excited to get back to normal this holiday season.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as revenge travel surged this summer, revenge holiday celebrations are coming this winter, with two thirds of Gen Z saying they\u2019re more excited for the holidays this year. The 2021 holiday season was supposed to be the time to get back to normal, but the Omicron variant hit harder and faster than the variants that came before it, canceling many a holiday soiree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1224\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/network.advertisingweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-12-12-at-12.20.18-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-12-12-at-12.20.18-PM.png 1224w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-12-12-at-12.20.18-PM-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-12-12-at-12.20.18-PM-1024x463.png 1024w, https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/aw360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-12-12-at-12.20.18-PM-768x348.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1224px) 100vw, 1224px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, Gen Z is most excited for holiday gatherings with family and friends. For older Gen Zers, it\u2019ll be one of the first holiday seasons that they celebrate as adults, so they\u2019re ready to go all out with food, decor, and gifts (42% are excited for shopping and gift giving). And while half of Gen Z is worried about inflation, 44% say they won\u2019t let it impact their holiday plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Gen Z loves shopping in-store just as much as they do online.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to popular belief, our research found that Gen Z prefers a mix of online and in-person shopping. While online shopping offers the convenience they crave, there\u2019s something special about the tactile and social experience of in-store, especially around the holidays. Whether the sounds, the smells, the displays &#8212; in-person shopping offers a greater emotional pay-off. And it also allows them to try things on, giving them more confidence in their purchase decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s clear that a strong multi-channel approach to sales and advertising is critical for this generation. They might start their search online and then go in-store to purchase, or they might explore and get inspired in-store and then purchase online. Brands need to show up consistently in both places in order to capture their attention and dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. They&rsquo;re shopping earlier and seeking more meaningful gifts.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Half of Gen Z say they\u2019re shopping earlier this year, and the majority say they\u2019re doing so because they get better deals. For online shoppers, starting early lets them plan around long shipping times and delays. For those shopping in-person, early shopping is mainly about getting those Pre-Black Friday deals and getting back to old traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our Gen Z respondents are not only shopping earlier, but also shopping for (and hoping to receive) more meaningful gifts. Spending lots of money is not as important as buying and receiving gifts that reflect a deep knowledge of and care for the recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Sustainability matters to Gen Z, but it&rsquo;s complicated.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly two in three Gen Zers believe sustainability matters when making purchase decisions, and 41% say sustainability is equally important throughout the supply chain \u2013 from creation to sourcing to shipping. We\u2019ve seen the impact of these beliefs through <a href=\"https:\/\/thesustainablemag.com\/fashion\/whats-old-is-new-again-upcycling-in-the-fashion-industry\/\">the<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/thesustainablemag.com\/fashion\/whats-old-is-new-again-upcycling-in-the-fashion-industry\/\"> rise of up-cycling<\/a>, the success of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retaildive.com\/news\/secondhand-market-reach-82b-2026-thredup\/624123\/#:~:text=The%20global%20secondhand%20goods%20market,by%202026%2C%20reaching%20%2482%20billion.\">second-hand marketplaces<\/a>, and major brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.walmart.com\/newsroom\/2020\/05\/27\/walmart-partners-with-thredup-to-enter-popular-fashion-resale-market\">Walmart<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/adidas-allbirds-futurecraftfootprint-sustainable-sneaker-collaboration-2021-12\">Adidas<\/a> partnering with sustainable DTCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gen Z feels sustainability does (or at least should) impact every aspect of holiday shopping, from choosing in-person over online shopping (to avoid the environmental impact of shipping) to picking products that are made more sustainably. However, they recognize that sustainable choices can be a privilege because of the way it can increase a product\u2019s price tag. So while they want to make more sustainable choices during the holidays, they see sustainability being a luxury they may not be able to afford, especially given the current rate of inflation. If brands can find a way to make sustainable choices more accessible and affordable, Gen Z will reward them with money and loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gen Z is driving what the new holiday shopping normal will be. From in-store shopping to gifts laced with meaning, brands will need to pay attention to this generation as it gains spending power. Brands that do will have a leg up going into the \u201cnew normal\u201d of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This study was a quali-quant approach.
