Unlike previous generations, they\u2019ve grown up with the internet as an essential part of their lives. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This has created a generation so dependent on 24\/7 digital connectivity that any moments of disconnection trigger feelings of missing out. Their constant connectivity means they are always looking for what&#8217;s new and trending, often driven by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">social media and the fear of missing out <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(FOMO)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1455391\/shoppers-social-media-discovery-and-purchase-worldwide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Data<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> shows that one<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-third of shoppers discover a new product or brand on social media. However, this rate nearly doubles among Gen Z consumers, highlighting their more significant engagement with social media.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The hyper interactivity of social media, allowing consumers to react, ask questions, and vote, amongst other features, also promotes exclusivity when engaging with a brand online. If you\u2019re not in it, you\u2019re out of it; Gen Zs want to be seen online buying the most popular item. They want to be the first to showcase their latest purchases on social media to get their \u201clikes\u201d. That means brands that understand this can adapt effectively to create urgency and desirability when marketing to Gen Z. Let\u2019s look at how.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Gen Z and social media<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unlike older generations, Gen Z was born into the digital age, making technology an extension of themselves. Social media isn&#8217;t just a pastime \u2013 it acts as a news source, a creative outlet, and their primary means of connecting with friends and broader communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gen Z boasts the highest social media usage across Asia, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sia-partners.com\/en\/insights\/publications\/gen-z-asia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">studies <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">indicating that at least a third of this demographic spends more than six hours daily on their phones and is heavily engaged in social platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Platforms like TikTok and Instagram are viral. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/marketech-apac.com\/recent-survey-reveals-that-gen-z-in-singapore-are-most-likely-to-purchase-through-social-media-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> also shows TikTok enjoys immense popularity among Gen Z throughout Asia, including major markets like China, India, and Indonesia. In Singapore, Gen Z are more likely to make purchases through TikTok, surpassing the usage of Millennials and Generation X for shopping on the platform. This highlights the significant influence <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">social media and fear of missing out<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> have on Gen Z&#8217;s decision-making, shaping how they discover trends, form opinions, and ultimately make purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>The rise of social media influencers<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Social media influencers dominate Gen Z buying patterns, dictating what&#8217;s hot and not by expertly leveraging FOMO. Influencer partnerships, as highlighted in a previous blog on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/qashier.com\/sg\/blog\/2022\/08\/29\/influencer-marketing-why-your-business-need-this\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">influencer marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, can ignite interest and urgency around your brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Asia, social media influencers particularly tap into FOMO by showcasing exclusive experiences, limited-edition products, and time-sensitive offers often tied to locations or events that are popular with their audiences. This creates a sense of urgency and exclusivity, resonating with Asian consumers&#8217; desire to be a part of the latest trends and social circles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mili.eu\/insights\/unveiling-the-world-of-influencer-marketing-in-southeast-asia-from-follower-trends-to-deinfluencers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> show that a striking 56% of Southeast Asians follow influencers, with even higher percentages in the Philippines (68%) and Vietnam (71%).\u00a0 For example, popular influencers might promote exclusive pop-up stores, collaborations only available in certain countries, or early access to product launches \u2013 which are all tactics designed to trigger FOMO and drive quick action. This strategy is particularly effective with Gen Z living in Asia, a demographic deeply integrated with social media, highly responsive to influencer trends, and drawn to lifestyle, entertainment, food, fashion, and travel content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regarding which social media app is the most popular for influencers, TikTok has become the platform where young people look for information. The Reuters Institute<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/business\/fewer-people-trust-traditional-media-more-turn-tiktok-news-report-says-3559951\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reveals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> young adults increasingly favour celebrities, influencers, and social media personalities for news over traditional journalists on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unsurprisingly, this is also the platform where they start their search journey and eventually purchase what they need. As a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketing-interactive.com\/tiktok-is-gen-z-s-cultural-playground-in-southeast-asia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marketing Interactive report states<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Gen Z relies on the combined influence of TikTok and Instagram, with popular trends like #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt and #TikTokBudol as a form of social proof to validate their purchase decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Social media and fear of missing out as marketing strategies<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FOMO, or the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/health\/mind\/the-psychology-behind-fomo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fear Of Missing Out<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, taps into a fundamental human desire for belonging and social connection. Our brains are wired to perceive potential loss as more significant than potential gain, creating a sense of urgency when we see others enjoying experiences or products we don&#8217;t have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FOMO can short-circuit our rational thinking, leading us to make impulsive purchases or choices to avoid feeling left out. When it comes to appealing to Gen Z, harnessing the power of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">social media and the fear of missing out<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can be a highly effective marketing strategy for businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">See how popular Thai brand Mistine Cosmetics has leveraged TikTok to promote its products. From a relatively unknown company in Asia, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shoplus.net\/blogs\/Mistine-case-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">their TikTok profile now has <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">8.3K followers, with each video reaching an average of over 4 million views.<\/span><\/a><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What drives its digital marketing success? Mistine strategically leverages <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">social media and fear of missing out<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> tactics to drive cosmetics sales. They emphasise product features like &#8220;waterproof&#8221; and &#8220;sweatproof,&#8221; which resonate with Southeast Asian consumers and create a sense of urgency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A quick search for #mistine on Tiktok drew 13.1K videos from various beauty influencers. Mistine\u2019s partnership with beauty influencers for product demonstrations and tutorials has further strengthened the desirability of its products, creating a sense of community where viewers showcase similar results with whom they follow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These videos are not just limited to big-time influencers. Mistine also engages micro-influencers who have a loyal following. These videos generated social buzz and online engagement as consumers shared their purchases and encouraged others to purchase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cutehart.com\/en-sg\/products\/mistine-moisturizing-matte-pink-limited-edition-lip-glaze-2-6g-2-8g-%E8%9C%9C%E4%B8%9D%E5%A9%B7%E6%BB%8B%E6%B6%A6%E5%93%91%E5%85%89%E7%B2%89%E8%89%B2%E9%99%90%E5%AE%9A%E7%89%88%E5%94%87%E9%87%89\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">launching limited edition Mistine lip products<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the company has tapped into Gen Z consumers&#8217; desire to own something unique and rare, increasing the perceived value of their lip products. This scarcity tactic further increases the effectiveness of limited-time offers, as consumers feel pressured to act before the products are gone forever. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C5plThhhJuy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mistine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> also constantly drops promotions through its livestreams on TikTok and Instagram, which often include exclusive discounts or early access to new products, creating a sense of VIP status for those participating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Beyond FOMO, Mistine&#8217;s success lies in its multi-channel approach, combining traditional e-commerce platforms with TikTok Shop and its website. They prioritise localised content that feels authentic to Southeast Asian audiences and ensure their products remain affordable, a key consideration for their target market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Leverage Qashier to serve Gen Z consumers better<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How can those marketing strategies be implemented to tap into Gen Z buying behaviour effectively?
