Last week, we polled over 500 Millennials to ask:

What was the last brand site you went to? (not aggregator company sites like Amazon, Etsy, eBay, etc.) Did you buy anything? If so, what? If not, why not?

As with as our last poll, these were unprompted questions. There was no setup and there were no dropdowns; we didn’t suggest any companies or brands whatsoever.

Before sharing our racy-yet-innovative infographic of the results (#DataIsSexy), I want to re-mention why we do these.

OpiaTalk is an eCommerce tech startup whose core team is comprised of Millennials. We’re passionate about helping companies and brands of all kinds communicate with, market to, and convert Millennials (you could say we’re a company of, by, and for Millennials). Our big idea was to invent the new kind of online shopping experience we ourselves want to have: engaging, convenient, social, fun, and effective. #Innovation. Our widget creates a cool social shopping experience on any eCommerce or retail site that drives immediate conversions. If you’re a company or brand looking to engage and convert Millennials right on your site, come talk to us. We got you, boo.

And stay tuned for a follow-up piece on key ideas and takeaways from the data. I'll highlight the creative responses and go into more depth on the trends, both technological and personal. In the meantime, Keep Calm and Shop On, my fellow Millennials (and Keep Calm and Convert On, eCommerce Brands). We love you guys.

MILLENNIAL POLL OF THE WEEK:

Liked what you saw? Want to be a part of it? If you identify as a Millennial and want to participate, the NEXT NEW SHORT SURVEY is ready (takes no more than 4 minutes to complete). Plus, if you do it, I’ll love you like people on Tinder love swiping right and then never messaging anyone. #MillennialJokes #ILoveMyJob

Melanie is Director of Communications for OpiaTalk, the hyper-conversion widget for any brand. OpiaTalk's social shopping experience engages people right on an eCommerce or retail brand's site, resulting in conversion of organic traffic and opted-in leads at 4-5x industry average. Our latest clients are seeing 10-15% in-widget conversions (nope, not a typo).

In her free time, Melanie likes staying ahead of the newest, creative tech trends and unwinds by reading books (as in real ones, made of paper) about fresh sea urchins made of pure silver. Why? Because she thinks learning about the past is really really important.

Melanie welcomes connection of all types, including the LinkedIn variety: melanie@opiatalk.com.
