Diversity and Cultural Exposure in the US
According to the US Census Bureau, a new immigrant moves to the US every 666 seconds. The US is one of the most diverse countries in the world, and with this, different cultures and traditions gain wider visibility and acceptance. Importantly, double the share of consumers want to learn about new cultures than want to learn about their own cultural holiday heritage, with the potential for adopting these new cultures into their own lives.
Consumer Culture, Customs, and Traditions
Gen Z prefers to culturally stand out compared to overall demographics
This may explain why they look to their heritage culture more, as both Gen Z and Millennials raise children to be proud of who they are. With Gen Z such a diverse generation, creating marketing materials that speak to commonalities as well as celebrating heritage will be key to engaging this demographic.
Parents are proud to pass on their culture
Hispanic parents feel connected to their roots when buying snacks from Latin America. With almost half of parents believing it’s important for their children to know about their ancestors and cultural heritage, food brands can set the stage by uplifting parents who transmit their culture.
Holidays and celebrations require targeting
With budget constraints, consumers are spending more on fewer items when it comes to gifts, particularly over the winter holiday season and Valentine’s Day. With increased scrutiny over purchases made, brands need to appeal in a targeted way. For example, as women more often purchase gifts and greeting cards, and more often cook, convenience will be a key value proposition.
