Customers Drive Everything

/ Quick Take

Customers’ experience with a business is shaped by quality, price, value, service, and convenience. US consumers are currently most satisfied with product/service quality and least with the prices of goods and services—no surprise given persistent, although easing, inflation in recent years.

This is according to the 3,000 US consumers responding to our Consumer Confidence Survey®. They also express discontent with data privacy, customer service quality, and feeling valued as a customer—all features related to customer relationships and trust.
