Gen Z: They're Not Disloyal. They're Just Not Yours

You've heard it said that Gen Z are disloyal. They switch brands constantly, they don't commit, they jump around. But what if that's the wrong lens entirely?

Hi, I'm Clare Bailey, founder of Retail Champion.

This is Part 2 of my three-part miniseries, "The Loyalty Illusion" — and in this episode I dig deep into what's really driving Gen Z behaviour.

Spoiler: it's not disloyalty.

What We Cover

• Why 'disloyal' is the wrong word for Gen Z — and what's actually going on
• Why gamification creates engagement but not attachment — the pseudo-loyalty trap
• Why the new competitive battlefield is something you've perhaps not considered
• What this means practically for your retail or eCommerce strategy right now

Coming next week...

• Episode 3 will answer the big question: what actually builds real, lasting connection with this generation?
