A new study has found that the majority of younger consumers do not admire any brands.
Key findings:
70% of Millennial and Gen Z consumers said they do not admire any brands
40% of Millennial and Gen Z shoppers want to try products in-person before buying them
Only 13% of respondents from all age groups go into stores for advice.
