Michele Levine, CEO, Roy Morgan Research, says:
“Roy Morgan Research monitors satisfaction levels in 23 categories across numerous industries. Average satisfaction rates vary widely, from mid-70s to mid-90s. Typically, we love our cars and hardware stores, pharmacists, clothing and sports stores, but we’re tougher on our home phone and utilities providers.

“Our favourite hardware stores regularly score over 90% satisfaction. With Bunnings, Carters, Hammer Hardware, ITM, Mitre 10 and PlaceMakers all achieving high scores, it makes for a truly competitive race—and when that happens everyone wins, especially shoppers.

“Businesses that use intelligent research to identify and understand their customers will always have an edge when it comes to delivering satisfaction. Happy customers will then be your champions, your advocates and your spokespeople. Therefore customer satisfaction should absolutely be viewed as a powerful marketing tool, as important as any billboard, TV spot or direct mail campaign.

“Throughout 2014 we were thrilled that so many of the winners of our Customer Satisfaction Awards proudly displayed the achievement in advertising and company announcements. Saying you’re the best is one thing, but your customers saying it for you is a whole other level of validation.”
