Connecting with Gen Z – The “Values” Generation featuring Dr. Lorynn R. Divita, Ph.D

A new, young consumer market, Gen Z, is rising in prominence and their values are as unique as their personal style. With an estimated disposable income of $360 billion currently, by 2026 Gen Z will be the largest generation in the United States, with approximately 82 million people. Raised with an emphasis on social justice, Gen Z values individuality, environmentalism and ethical consumption. This presentation provides an in-depth profile of the next big consumer market and explains how drycleaners can connect with Gen Z and create a lasting customer bond.

Dr. Lorynn R. Divita is Associate Professor in Apparel Design and Merchandising at Baylor University’s Robbins College of Health and Human Sciences in Waco, Texas. She teaches classes on apparel in today’s society, merchandising planning and control, and trends and issues in merchandising, among other topics.
