Michele Levine, CEO, Roy Morgan Research, says:
“The Athlete’s Foot has continued its strong performance in 2017 winning the monthly Roy Morgan Shoe Store Customer Satisfaction category in August with a rating of 87.1% ahead of Spend Less Shoes on 85.9% and Williams The Shoemen on 83.9%.
“The Athlete’s Foot last won the Annual Roy Morgan Shoe Store Customer Satisfaction Award in 2015 and with just four months to go they’re in a good position to take back the Annual title from 2016 winners Spend Less Shoes.
“Achieving high customer satisfaction results is a vital metric for retail businesses looking to maximise customer retention in an increasingly competitive marketplace. The arrival of giant US retailer Amazon, with speculation Amazon will be making a pre-Christmas launch in the next few weeks, is set to add further pressures for existing retailers.
“In this fast-moving retail age, gaining the edge on rivals with products like Roy Morgan Helix Personas allows a retailer to drill into their customer base and learn about the specific expectations, attitudes and preferences that drive their existing customers.
“Even more importantly, a sophisticated and powerful psychographic segmentation tool like Helix Personas allows a retailer to improve future growth prospects by directly targeting the new customers a retailer needs to ensure continued growth and expansion.”
The Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Awards highlight the winners but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Roy Morgan tracks customer satisfaction, engagement, loyalty, advocacy and NPS across a wide range of industries and brands. This data can be analysed by month for your brand and importantly your competitive set.
