Giving What Consumers Want
This year’s EquiTrend study illustrated a desire among consumers to trust and align with the businesses they work with. The homepage for the EquiTrend poll explains, “today’s most successful brand insinuate themselves into people’s lives.
With this in mind, the poll studied the “4 A’s”; accessibility, action, attraction, attachment. Accessibility asks whether a brand has a positive image in a customers’ mind; does the brand operate ethically, produce a quality product, and/or offer outstanding service? Attraction asks if the brand captures customers’ imaginations; does the brand relate to them and inspire them? Action asks whether the brand inspires customers to act; does it help them move past purchasing uncertainty and inspire confidence? Attachment asks whether the brand is a part of the consumer’s mind; do they recognize, understand, and work with them?
