Jungle Scout’s Q1 2023 Consumer Trends Report explores generational differences in consumer behavior and how inflation and other economic factors impact spending.

Jungle Scout Q1 2023 Consumer Trends Report
Key findings from Jungle Scout’s Q1 2023 Consumer Trends Report

AUSTIN, Texas, March 21, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Today, Jungle Scout, the leading all-in-one platform for ecommerce sellers, released its Q1 2023 Consumer Trends Report, a quarterly study of U.S. consumers that explores spending and ecommerce trends. The report shows Gen Z consumers are the least likely to report that inflation has impacted their spending, and they are most reluctant to reduce spending compared to other generations. 

Key insights from the report include:

Gen Z consumers are setting a new standard for ecommerce.

• 43% of Gen Z consumers start their online product searches on TikTok, a higher number than those who start on Google. 
• Despite inflation, 32% of Gen Z consumers shop online at least once daily compared to 25% of Millennials, 15% of Gen X, and 7% of Baby Boomers. 
• Gen Z consumers are the most likely to shop secondhand online to save money, with 42% purchasing a pre-owned item online in the past year.

Consumer behavior and attitude toward inflation differ greatly by generation. 

• Millennials are more worried about their finances than any other generation and are nearly twice as likely to have an unstable household income compared to Baby Boomers.
• Baby Boomers are 78% more likely than Gen Z to purchase items on sale and are more likely than any other generation to use credit cards with money-saving perks. 
• 56% of Gen X and 43% of Millennials are cutting back on fun/impulse purchases to save money, compared to only 37% of Gen Z consumers.

“In the world of ecommerce, one size does not fit all,” says Michael Scheschuk, President of Small & Medium Business at Jungle Scout. “Businesses must understand each generation’s unique values, preferences, and behaviors to create tailored strategies. As the youngest and newest cohort of shoppers, Gen Z offers invaluable insights into the current and future trends shaping retail.” 

See the full report to learn where consumers are shopping, what they’re buying, how much they’re spending in Q1 2023, and more.

Vape manufacturer gathers legal, marketing expertise to evaluate state of vaping

Bidi Vapor Infographic: What’s Legal, What’s Not
A new infographic from Bidi Vapor summarizes what vaping products are compliant with federal regulations.

MELBOURNE, Fla., March 21, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
A new webcast, sponsored by Bidi Vapor, LLC, and a companion infographic, combine expert viewpoints from legal and marketing fields to tackle the confusion surrounding vaping devices, explaining what can and can’t be sold in stores.

To view the webcast, click here. To view and download the infographic, click here.

As both the webcast and the infographic point out, one important development has been new regulations over synthetic nicotine, said Bidi Vapor founder Niraj Patel. After July 2022, all vaping devices that use synthetic nicotine cannot be legally sold in the United States, without going through the proper regulatory steps, he said. At this point, no product using synthetic nicotine has received authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), he said in the webcast.

Unfortunately, products containing synthetic nicotine still flood the market, Patel said. “Enforcement is key,” he said. “It should occur at the manufacturer, wholesale, and retail level. But we’re not seeing it.”

Referring to the FDA process by which vaping products are authorized for sale in the United States, Russell Quick, president of Kaival Marketing Services (KMS), which supports Bidi Vapor and its electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) branded BIDI^® Stick, said, “We see products on shelves we know have no PMTA, or have MDOs, or are synthetic. None of that seems to have gone away.”

Quick was referring the FDA authorization process that requires turning in what is called a premarket tobacco product application or “PMTA.” During the PMTA review, many companies that sold flavored devices received marketing denial orders or “MDOs,” which meant they needed to take their products off store shelves.

The webcast panel elaborated on the status of Bidi Vapor’s PMTAs for both its “Classic” tobacco-flavored device and its 10 other flavored varieties, saying that while it received MDOs for their flavors, a court ruling in August of 2022 set them aside. Currently, Bidi Vapor can legitimately sell its flavored products as the FDA continues its scientific review, subject to the agency’s enforcement discretion, said Azim Chowdhury, partner with the Washington, D.C.-based Keller and Heckman LLP.

ABOUT BIDI VAPOR

Based in Melbourne, Florida, Bidi Vapor maintains a commitment to responsible, adult-focused marketing, supporting age-verification standards and sustainability through its BIDI^® Cares recycling program. Bidi Vapor’s premier device, the BIDI^® Stick, is a premium product made with high-quality components, a UL-certified battery and technology designed to deliver a consistent vaping experience for adult smokers 21 and over.

The new program allows entrepreneurs to leverage TruPro Elites’ outsourced eCommerce experts to set up, manage and scale an Amazon marketplace

ATLANTA, March 20, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
More and more entrepreneurs turn to Amazon each year to set up marketplaces for their businesses or start side hustles to earn passive income. Now, through the help of TruPro Elites, an Atlanta-based eCommerce consulting agency, entrepreneurs can leverage eCommerce experts to automate and scale a business and grow its revenue.

According to Forbes, more than 100,000 brands joined Amazon in 2021 alone, resulting in over 3.9 million products sold and an average of $200,000 in annual sales per seller.

“There is no better time than now for people to launch their own eCommerce businesses,” said Anthony Wilson, CEO of TruPro Elites. “Whether it’s a brand trying to increase online sales, an entrepreneur trying to bring a new product to market or just someone looking for passive income to save for retirement or increase their net worth, eCommerce businesses are a lucrative way to generate revenue.”

Small and medium-sized business owners all face the same challenge of balancing running their business and having time outside of work. TruPro Elites helps individuals to achieve financial freedom by conducting product and supplier research, supply chain management and leveraging their team of eCommerce experts to launch and scale Amazon FBA marketplaces without huge time or monetary commitments.

“Starting an eCommerce business can be tricky to do on your own, but because we have helped to launch and scale over 100 Amazon stores, we have been able to unlock the secrets to ensuring success,” Wilson said. “We help to identify the right products, audiences and setups to allow for people to earn passive income that yields consistent results and predictable returns in just a few hours per month.”

Previously, in order to successfully launch an eCommerce brand, individuals or businesses would have to devote years of training or costly resources and hours to ensure a return on investment, or they would have to give away a percentage of sales on a revenue-share model.

Through TruPro Elites, now people can leverage unique insights and tap into dedicated experts who manage every aspect of an Amazon marketplace. TruPro Elites identifies a product, sets up the marketplace and connects entrepreneurs with a dedicated “Store Manager” who helps provide resources and training and teaches the business owner how to optimize and scale before handing it back over for day-to-day management.

Interested entrepreneurs or individuals looking to get started can sign up for a complimentary consultation call with a TruPro Elite expert by visiting TruProElites.com.
