18 Feb 2016

Digital savvies are very likely to say what they think about brands on social media and they expect digital channels to be available from the businesses they do their shopping with. They have the power to create both postive and negative "buzz" about brands. Digital savvies are what you would call innovators and early adopters of technology.  With the help of different platforms and portals they share knowledge, opinions and ideas with each other. Furthermore digital savvies trust online reviews and think that they are very valuable when for example choosing AirBnB-apartment, the best restaurant in town or the right Uber driver. In order to meet the rising expectations from digital savvies businesses must upgrade their digital strategy and increase their focus on creating excellent and seamless customer experiences
