The Lifestory Research 2020 America’s Most Trusted® Window Brand study examines trust among consumers actively shopping a window. The 2020 ranking is based on 4,620 opinions of people surveyed between January and December in the United States. Brands included in the final ranking were nationally recognized by people who were actively shopping for a window. To be considered, brands needed to receive enough survey responses to achieve a 95% confidence level with no more than a 3% margin of error. If a brand had a low brand awareness and did not have enough brand judgments, these brands were excluded in the rankings.
The Lifestory Research Net Trust Quotient Score measures the trust people hold of brands in multiple different product categories, including residential window brands. The trust score is formulated based on how thousands of people judge the merits of the brands in the study. Study participants responses are classified and defined by three levels of consumer trust: Trust Advocates, Trust Neutral, and Trust Antagonists. A Trust Advocate is someone who expresses significant trust in a brand whereas a Trust Antagonist vocalizes distrust in a brand. Our research finds that trust not only impacts purchase intent and word of mouth expressions, but trust acts as a source of fuel that can lift brand impressions of quality as well as other brand attribute judgments.
The rankings are based on the Net Trust Index Quotient Score. Scores are standardized across more than 300 brands and product segments included in the study, and then rank-ordered within each product segment. The most recognized residential window brands are among the nationally-ranked brands evaluated in the study. This approach provides insight into how brands are seen within the window product category in which they operate as well as examines brands across industries.
