Why is consumer behavior changing?

Technological advancements, the entry of Gen Z and Gen Alpha into the market, and lifestyle changes have reshaped how Vietnamese people consume. Modern consumers not only seek quality products but also desire personalized experiences and transparency. Here are 5 key consumer trends that businesses need to grasp:

Consumers Care About Experiences, Not Just Products

Today's customers are not only concerned with product quality but also highly value a complete shopping experience. A user-friendly website interface, fast response times, or a personalized thank-you message can make a big difference in purchasing decisions. Factors contributing to a good experience include:

  • User-friendly Website Interface: Websites should be easy to use, load quickly, and be optimized for mobile devices. Statistics show that over 60% of users in Vietnam access the internet via mobile phones.
  • Prompt Responses: Customers expect responses within 24 hours, especially on channels like Zalo, Facebook, or email.
  • Personalization: A greeting with the customer's name or a birthday offer can increase customer retention rates by up to 20%.

You can use tools like GTG CRM to create mobile-optimized landing pages in minutes, without needing any coding skills.

Young People Buy Based on Emotion, Not Just Specs

Gen Z (born 1997-2012) and Gen Alpha (born after 2012) are becoming the dominant consumer groups in Vietnam. They are not only interested in product specifications but are also attracted by brand values. Factors driving purchasing decisions for Gen Z and Gen Alpha include:

  • Brand Story: They want to know what the brand represents, for example, environmental protection, community support, or creativity.
  • Design and Experience: A product with attractive packaging or creative advertising content on TikTok can easily win them over.
  • Empathy: They prioritize brands that show sincerity and approachability.

Consumers Research Independently But Need Guidance

Over 70% of consumers in Vietnam research information before making a purchase (Source: Google Consumer Insights, 2025). They watch videos, read reviews, or compare prices before contacting businesses. However, they still need timely support to make decisions. You can assist customers in the following ways:

  • Provide Clear Information: Create content such as blog posts, video tutorials, or FAQs to answer questions.
  • Specific CTAs: Call-to-action buttons like “Free Consultation” or “Get a Quote” help customers easily move to the next step.
  • Timely Follow-up: A gentle reminder email after a customer downloads free resources can increase conversion rates by 15%.

You can use GTG CRM to build smart customer care workflows, eliminating repetitive manual tasks every day.

Loyalty Comes from Post-Purchase Care

Today's customers not only want low prices but also expect a post-purchase experience. GTG CRM suggests some things you can do for post-purchase customer care:

  • Sincere Thanks: A thank-you email or message after purchase makes customers feel valued.
  • Product Usage Support: Detailed instructions or videos help customers maximize product benefits.
  • Appointment Reminders: Send an email reminder one day in advance to increase response and conversion rates.

Emails from GTG CRM templates help you effectively care for customers, increasing satisfaction and brand experience.

Customers Love Simplicity and Transparency

In an information-saturated market, customers appreciate brands that are simple, easy to understand, and transparent. They don't want to waste time with complex forms or cluttered websites; what customers need is:

  • Easy-to-Use Website: Clear design, fast loading speed, and mobile optimization.
  • Streamlined Purchase Process: Reduce the number of steps required to complete a transaction.
  • Transparent Information: Provide clear pricing, return policies, or contact information.

You can use GTG CRM's product introduction page templates with a friendly and attractive interface. You just need to change the content and images, and GTG CRM will handle the rest.
