USAA and Credit Unions Are Highly Recommended

April 2, 2012 Leave a comment

The 2012 Temkin Loyalty Ratings quantifies the loyalty of consumers to 206 companies across 18 industries based on a survey of 10,000 U.S. consumers. I examined one of the three elements of loyalty in the ratings: the likelihood to recommend.

When comparing company ratings to industry averages, it turns out that USAA earns the top two spots. In credit cards and banking, USAA’s Temkin Loyalty Ratings are at least 25 percentage points above their industry averages. Credit unions are next in line, 24 points above the banking average.

At the bottom of the list is Charter Communications, 23 points below the TV service industry average. RadioShack and Citibank also fall far behind their industries.

The bottom line: Will your customers recommend your firm?
