Methodology:
In 2018, MBLM, together with Praxis Research Partners, conducted a quantitative online survey of 6,200 consumers in the United States (3,000), Mexico (2,000), and the United Arab Emirates (1,200).
The participants were examined by age (18 to 64 years of age) and annual income per household ($ 35,000 or more) in the United States and socioeconomic levels A, B, and C in Mexico and the United Arab Emirates. Quotas were established to ensure that the sample reflects the census data by age, gender, income / socioeconomic status, and region.
The survey was designed to understand the intensity of consumer relationships with brands and the intensity of these relationships from highly unattached to very intimate.
It is important to keep in mind that this research provides more than just a ranking of brand performance and was specifically designed to provide prescriptive guidance to marketing professionals.
We modeled information on more than 6,200 interviews and approximately 56,000 brand evaluations to quantify the mechanisms that shape intimacy through factor analysis, structural modeling of emotions, and other sophisticated analytical techniques.
The research allows marketers to have a better understanding of what steps should be taken to build an intimate link between brands and their consumers. In this way, marketers will not only understand where their brand is on a performance scale, but they will also learn to strengthen that performance in the future.
