TROY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With 44% of vacuum purchases taking place online—and currently limited shopping in stores—word of mouth is playing a more significant role in vacuum purchases, according to the J.D. Power 2020 Vacuum Customer Satisfaction Study,SM released today.
“The fielding of this study took place pre-pandemic and we found then that more consumers were making their vacuum purchases online,” said Christina Cooley, director of the @Home practice at J.D. Power. “With minimal retail shopping taking place during this time, creating an inability to physically touch and feel vacuums in stores, manufacturers have an opportunity to use their current customer-base as brand advocates to further encourage online vacuum purchases.”
Study results show that those who received recommendations from friends and family during the shopping process were more likely to purchase online, are more satisfied with their experience, and are now providing more positive recommendations to others.
