Behavior that does not extend to women of other generations. According to data provided last year by Radius Global Market Research, advertising baby boomers considered a reliable source of information.

Data from the study of Millennial Central show the influence of the recommendations of others, depending on the type of product you plan to buy.

Thus, when it comes to buying technology products, fashion or personal care, friends opinion counts more than their parents or partner (66% vs 59%). But if it comes to making a purchase of more significance, it is more binding the opinion of the people closest, especially parents (80%) compared to the couple (61%) and friends (35%).
