Marketing researchers and pollsters are constantly surveying people about their
likes and dislikes, their voting intentions, their thoughts about which actors should
win Academy Awards, and on and on. Needless to say, pollsters also investigate
consumers’ thoughts and feelings toward brands. Harris Interactive, the world’s
twelfth largest market research firm, conducts an annual poll that requests American
consumers to indicate which brands they consider best. A recent poll involved online
interviews with nearly 2,400 adults. Interviewees were asked a single question: ”We
would like you to think about brands or names of products and services you know.
Considering everything, which three brands do you consider the best?" lnterviewees
were, in other words, asked to spontaneously identity up to three brands that they
personally regarded as the “best.” Results from the poll identified the following 10
brands as those most often mentioned as best:‘
CocaCola
Cl u n a u u m m - n - m m r - a
