 Methodology

• Important to measure satisfaction levels at each stage of

interaction to derive the relevant ‘diagnostics’ for leakages in the
brand funnel

• For each customer-brand interaction stage, feedback from only

those who have interacted with the category at that level in the
last 3-6 months

• Parameters also rated on their ‘importance’ to customers to

facilitate reporting of ‘attribute importance vis-à-vis performance
grids’ for key brands in the category
