A lot has been written about Millennials and Gen-Zers. But what about those young adults who fall in between these two groups? This goup has been dubed Cuspers. They are 19-25-year-olds adnd are just starting out in adulthood. But, they have, already mastered being consumers.
Shyness is Not A Defining Behavior With Cuspers
In fact, recent research [see original research] by Fullscreen reveals that while Cuspers haven’t quite hit the financial standing of Millennials, they aren’t shy about spending their money. It seems that Millennials do have significantly higher average household incomes than Cuspers. But even with that, this younger segment isn’t that far behind when it comes to their spending.

For much of the last decade, marketers have poured most of their energy, time and money into trying to decode the most enigmatic generation of our time: Millennials. And why not? Studies show that Millennials are powering the US economy. They account for $600 billion in current annual spending and a projected $1.4 trillion a year by 2020. And with that much economic clout, Millennial preferences have disrupted entire industries.
But somewhere along the way, as we marketers were trying to figure out this generation, we missed something important about Millennials: They grew up. They moved on and now there is a new gen to set our sights on. Now we need to begin engaging with the up-and-coming Generation Z (Gen Z).
But, as the question always is, how? What is Gen Z? What are their preferences? And how can we, as marketers, really engage with them? Here are three ways we can break through to this rising generation at MarketingProfs.com

There is significant value for marketers to be able to gain insights into their markets. That goes without saying. But, when you can segment your market into behavioral groupings, you can gain even deeper and actual actionable insights into your target customers.
Yes, There is Such a Thing as Generation Gap
It seems that when we break our markets into generational groupings by age, we begin to notice variances in behaviors, attitudes and preferences. That is one reason that there is so much attention paid to generational marketing. It is also why we break down the different generations into groupings.
As You Probably Already Know
Market researchers have broken them down into four major groups. First are the Baby Boomers, presently aged 52-70. Then there is Gen X, age 36-51 and Millennials, age 20-35. And, Gen Z, age 15-19. Each of these groupings have their own ‘identity’, behaviors and preferences.
As an example, Americans age 15-19, Gen Z, are more likely than older consumers to believe success comes from hard work. They are apt to care about identity-based issues. And they tend to value ads that showcase real people, and to use visual-first social networks. This is according to recent research from Barkley and FutureCast.
