Leading market research firm BrandSpark International today announced the 2019 winners of the BrandSpark Most Trusted Awards (“BMTA”). The winners are the result of a nationwide survey of consumer trust in the United States, compiling opinions and insight from more than 12,800 Americans. Voters provided 61,000 top-of-mind opinions to identify which brands Americans trust most in 118 categories in which consumers are regularly faced with purchase decisions, including 75 newly-measured ones. Now in its 6th year, the research-based awards program determines winners exclusively by the unaided responses of shoppers.
Consumers seek out brands worthy of their trust
In an age of endless options, the BrandSpark Most Trusted Awards help consumers identify the brands they can trust based on the real experiences of other consumers.
Winning brands can be easily identified by the purple BrandSpark Most Trusted Award seal.
“With just 1 in 2 shoppers loyal to recognizable name brands, marketers must remind shoppers of the trust and value of their brand in order to retain that loyalty,” says Robert Levy, President and CEO of BrandSpark International. “The Most Trusted Award seal allows brands to clearly communicate the significant trust and connection they have fostered with shoppers over time.”
The BMTA logo drives purchase decisions
A poll of an independent panel of American shoppers showed that the BrandSpark Most Trusted seal positively impacts purchases in categories as diverse as beauty, household care, over-the-counter health, appliances & home goods, and services. The independent panel also revealed that if consumers saw the BMTA logo tied to a brand they had not purchased before, 7 in 10 would be encouraged to try it.
When the BMTA logo was featured next to winning brands on a popular shopping app in a real-market test, the logo increased purchase conversion by an average of 6-15 percent.
“In addition to many new categories, this is the first year that parents have been specifically surveyed about the Baby & Kids brands they trust the most, creating a valuable new resource for parents,” says Adam Bellisario, Program Director of the BrandSpark Most Trusted Awards.
What drives brand trust?
“In order to establish trust, the top brands repeatedly meet consumer expectations with great product and service experiences. The best of these brands are able to build on that foundation of trust and create meaningful innovation while maintaining strong value and consistent quality,” says Levy. “Reinforcing consumer trust is especially critical today, when consumers have more choices available than ever before.”
Brands communicate their Most Trusted Award wins
Leading brands such as Eggland’s Best use the BMTA seal in their PR and marketing campaigns.
“Eggland’s Best is very proud to be recognized as America’s Most Trusted egg brand— for five years in a row! We let consumers know by including the BrandSpark Most Trusted purple logo on millions of our egg cartons nationally,” says David Holdsworth, Vice President of Marketing at Eggland’s Best.
