HOBOKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced the release of the 19th annual NICE Satmetrix US Consumer Net Promoter Score® (NPS®) Benchmarks. The annual reports by NICE Satmetrix, the co-creator of the NPS metric, provide data-driven insights into brand loyalty, customer satisfaction and trends for dozens of companies across a wide range of industries as well as in customer loyalty for leading US brands.
The NICE Satmetrix US Consumer NPS Benchmarks are the product of the world’s most robust customer feedback database. This year’s data set alone includes more than 62,000 ratings collected from over 20,000 consumers. The responses covered 188 individual brands in 23 industry sectors, including banking, financial services, insurance, retail, telecommunications, travel, hospitality and more. Delivered online in an interactive format, the data constituting the benchmarks report can be segmented and analyzed for drivers of customer satisfaction across age, customer tenure, spend, industry-specific attributes and more. The study provides six years of historical data for in-depth trend analyses.
The benchmarks complement the industry-leading customer feedback management software at the core of NICE Satmetrix. Companies use NICE Satmetrix software to measure varying types of customer feedback and act on the resulting insights to drive improvements in loyalty. The NPS benchmarks help guide companies with planning and goal-setting for their customer experience programs.
A slight overall upward trend in NPS was seen in the benchmark this year, although the relative loyalty rankings for industries remain very stable. Department and specialty stores, for example, continue to earn the highest loyalty scores, while internet service providers, the only industry with a negative average score, earned the lowest. Some long-time leaders continued to retain their position at the top of their industry, such as in the travel industry, while other industries show year-over-year volatility in loyalty leaders as seen, for example, in online entertainment.
By accessing the rich data available in the annual NICE Satmetrix benchmarking reports, companies can confidently set data-driven performance targets specific to their industry. An annual subscription to the benchmark data also provides access to online NPS best-practice training, offering expert instructions to go along with data-driven insights. NICE Satmetrix supports its software clients in their customer experience programs by providing access to these resources directly from the application. To purchase the reports, please click here.
Miki Migdal, President, NICE Enterprise Group said “NPS averages are on the rise, which we believe is a direct result of today’s market leaders differentiating themselves by delivering the best possible experience throughout the entire customer journey. We’re proud of our many customers who achieve impressive results by using our software to collect feedback and act on insights provided by leading-edge analytics. Our clients tell us that their customers judge them against standards set by companies in other industries.

We invite companies wishing to improve their position to use our software to help them excel, and to turn to our benchmarks to give them insights in support of their all-important mission to improve customer loyalty.”
