A hybrid retail model blending stores and digital is essential to capture the spending of tomorrow’s consumers. Analysing the spending behaviour of shoppers under the age of 18 years old, children are predominantly shopping across all channels, with around a third favouring a balance between shopping online and in-store shopping equally. Retailers must create integrated shopping experiences, balancing the discovery of products online with the convenience of touch, try and collect in-store. But there are nuances across different demographics: ➡       There's a notable shift towards online as age increases, reflecting greater digital literacy, access to devices and independence. ➡       ‘Store-first’ consumers are skewed to younger children, preferring real life shopping experiences to digital. ➡       Online is more prevalent among the least affluent groups, leveraging the potential cost savings found on digital-only shopping platforms. ➡       More affluent families are likely to spend on areas that rely on a blend of in-store and online experiences, including shopping as part of a wider social outing across hospitality and leisure.
