Mobile Shopping and Social App Dote Is Aiming to Be ‘GenZ’s Dream Mall’


AsGeneration Z grows to be retail’s biggest group of customers with an approximated $44 billion in purchasing power, organisations are reconsidering their methods to appeal towards a group of digital locals who value smooth shopping experiences, credibility and openness. Their concept of shopping isn’t just going to the shopping mall or scanning a Delia’s or Alloy brochure as held true with previous generations. Instead, it’s seeing shopping hauls on YouTube, scrolling through a brand name’s Instagram page and wanting to their preferred influencers for attire motivation– directly from their smart devices.

Mobile shopping and social app Dote is staying up to date with these practices and intending to be “Gen Z’s Dream Mall.” “From our perspective, we see these retailers who haven’t fully identified or caught up with that shift,” states creator and CEO LaurenFarleigh “They really are trying to use old marketing techniques for this new generation, but not authentically engaging these social creators and their Gen Z followers.”
