Here are the top 5 for each to help you stay afloat with this choosy generation.<\/p>\n<p>HITS:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>A level of local exclusivity.<\/strong> \u201cMillennials love exclusivity, limited-time experiences, and a local-centric feel,\u201d Dorsey explains. Whether this means seeking out pop-up shops where certain brands are sold for only a short amount of time\u00a0or attending a guest-bartending session by a celebrity chef at a local bar, Millennials constantly seek out experiences and products that no one else has.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Gourmet pizza<\/strong>. Even Millennials on a tight budget will splurge for extra meat on a garden-vegetable-variety pizza. Millennials value stylishness in all aspects of their lives, and pizza is no exception. \u201cYou may have three roommates, you may not own a house, but you can splurge and get a really awesome pizza,\u201d Dorsey tells <em>Business Insider<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Buying cars&#8230;online<\/strong>. \u201cTraditional retail experience doesn\u2019t play to how Millennials like to buy,\u201d Dorsey explains. Millennials are now buying cars in record numbers online because they can do it on the terms they\u2014not the pushy salesman at the car lot\u2014 Millennials feel safe when they can compare pictures, prices, and a myriad of other features from the comfort of their own home, or while on the go on their smartphone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Organic, local food<\/strong>. Millennials care where their food comes from. They believe that the ingredients you use in your food and the way they were sourced speaks directly about your character and your company\u2019s message. Dorsey points out that, for Millennials, when you incorporate components like &#8220;gluten free [crust] and ancient grains&#8230;it almost represents what you believe.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Social conscientiousness<\/strong>. Millennials care where their money goes. Brands that forefront their \u201cstory\u201d such as TOMS and Warby Parker thrive with this <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"\/the-generations-hub\/generational-faqs\/\" rel=\"noopener\">generation<\/a><\/span> of socially conscientious consumers. Millennials like to feel their purchases are going towards the greater good\u2026 and it doesn\u2019t hurt if the products you offer are on trend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>MISSES:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Traditional car-buying experiences. <\/strong>Walking into a car dealership presses all the wrong buttons for Millennials. They don\u2019t like being treated like a number or being hit with a barrage of high-pressure sales tactics. Millennials prefer a more relaxed buying experience, so \u201cwalking into a retail environment where people size you up and having a salesperson follow you like a shadow,\u201d as Dorsey explains, directly counters <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Millennials\u2019 consumer preferences<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Not having <u>free<\/u> Wi-Fi. <\/strong>Wi-Fi is essential in coffee shops, restaurants, and any other place where Millennials will spend an extended amount of time. If you\u2019re thinking about charging for Wi-Fi, you can forget about growing your business with Millennial customers!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Paper coupons<\/strong>. While Millennials absolutely love to get a deal, they \u201cdo not like having to carry or bring a printed coupon in order to get a discount. Millennials view this as not only a waste of paper\u00a0but also outdated,\u201d says Dorsey. The better option is to use an app or mobile-friendly website, where Millennials can access exclusive coupons or deals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>\u201cCool\u2013kid\u201d mentality. <\/strong>The best reflections of \u201ccool-kid\u201d mentality are the rapid decline of the Abercrombie and Fitch brand and the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/aerie-is-the-hottest-lingerie-company-2015-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">negative feedback facing Victoria Secret<\/a><\/span>. By catering to consumers only of a certain body type, Abercrombie and Victoria Secret are quickly being shunned by Millennials who value individuality and uniqueness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Being called a Millennial. <\/strong>A <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.people-press.org\/2015\/09\/03\/most-millennials-resist-the-millennial-label\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent study<\/a><\/span> from Pew Research said that Millennials hate being <a href=\"\/what-is-the-correct-name-for-millennials\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">called Millennials<\/span>,<\/a> so retailers who want to attract them as customers should refrain from using that word in their ad campaigns.
