For any type of mobile business, a fashion truck or a food truck, having more customers is important. Attracting more customers especially from a younger demographic requires the understanding of their habits. Generation Y are accustomed to using technology, especially mobile. Today’s Millennials are poised to become the largest generation in Canada. Furthermore, according to Global News, they support small businesses. “Almost 70 percent of Canadian millennials, a generation that makes up 35 percent of the national workforce, are willing to pay more for goods and services if they’re sold by a small or local business, according to the survey by RBC.”

To attract more attention from Generation Y (millennial) customers, understanding these 3 characteristics can help your business:

Generation Y uses Snapchat and Instagram, online ordering platforms and mobile.

The younger generation has a strong connection to social media. They share and talk about their interest. One single share of a good experience to your product, either a good food or an interesting outfit, on one of these platforms, can bring you a crowd of customers or have people sharing your photo.

Utilizing an online ordering app, helps you to manage the orders more efficiently. Furthermore, it stops the line-ups and can bring you younger, tech-savvy customers.

Providing WIFI experience through building hotspot around your food truck is another way of attracting millennials.
